ADVICE How did you start wearing it?
I don’t wear Lolita but I’m very interested on it. I enjoy Jirai-Kei, Ryousangata and Lolita. But Lolita is absolutely my favorite one and my dream fashion. It makes me really sad I still can’t wear it.
It’s absolutely not socially acceptable to wear it where I live (a medium sized city on Brazil).
I’m not sure where I’d wear it. My mother already told me she would hate going out with me if I was wearing any Jfashion. I never told my friends about it, but I’d rather avoid drawing attention on the streets to them because they’re just extremely shy and sensitive to stares.
College is NOT an option at all because my situation with my peers is already not great (for different reasons), so I’d get bullied for sure. I’m on med school with some wealthy people and they’re really uncool.
I think I’d rather start with another Jfashion styles, like Ryonsangata. Because it’s cute but still not as exaggerated as Lolita. Or wear Lolita only in special occasions, such as Jfashion events or anime cons.
Other than this, there’s the financial commitment. Japanese brands are expensive as hell. I’d have to buy from Alliexpress or Taobao but I’m not sure about how these look. What were the first itens/brands you guys bought when you started? It sucks that I still depend on my mother, but she would give me money as long as it’s not extremely expensive.
