#alternative fashion and self expression through clothes is something i am so endlessly fucking passionate about

also on that note the ppl in the tags of my poll who r saying lolita is expensive to get into is like. yeah, to some extent it is. but it doesn’t HAVE to be. the main thing you need for lolita is a good, quality petticoat, which yeah can be expensive sometimes. mine’s an aurora and ariel and i think it was about £40 - and it’s probably the most i’ve spent on lolita fashion. places for secondhand clothing online will be your best god damn friend, honestly. i have three op’s and two jsk’s and all of them were from vinted and i didn’t spend more than £30 on any of them. the shoes i wear with almost all my coords were also second hand and about £20. lolita is a harder fashion to build a wardrobe for sure, but it is possible on a budget. save your money, look for deals, do your research. genuinely the main thing you need is patience - you won’t get a full wardrobe right away, and you have to be okay with that. invest in a petticoat, find cute doll shoes at a thrift store, keep an eye out on secondhand apps and sites. you’ll get there, and you’ll look beautiful
