/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I legitimately love the fashion for non-fetish reasons to the point where many people I interact with online assume that I legitimately am a girl who dresses in the fashion. I've been into it for years, and probably the closest to a legit "lolita at heart uwu" most people will ever meet simply out of accepting that I'm too masculine looking to pull it off with any justice. I have my own style that I attend to, but really love keeping up with lolita news, windowshopping for dresses, giving recommendations to others, making coords up in my head, etc.

I actually enable my gf too much when it comes to lolita, since sometimes she wants to sell a piece but it'd be one that I personally enjoy. She doesn't sell it out of need for money, just trying to trim some excess from her huge wardrobe, but I enjoy how large her wardrobe is. I even make it worse by buying her lots of dresses and letting her borrow money without hesitation when she needs a personal loan (she pays me back, not taking advantage of me or anything).

She's always had an interest in the fashion but when we first dated I encouraged her to have more confidence in her ability to pull it off and it's come to great success on her part. At this point I think it's actually pretty hard for me to fully enjoy dating someone if the DIDN'T like lolita simply because it's a hobby of mine that's really easy to have in common with someone of the opposite sex. It's kinda like how I really couldn't see myself dating someone who doesn't at least casually browse 4chan. But that's probably because I've spent over a decade of my life on this miserable shithole of a site and can't leave so have personal cultural upbringing tied to it. But that's a bit off topic.

I'm the anon who was whining a few threads ago about how they didn't know if they'd passed the year and wouldn't be able to wear lolita often again if they'd failed.

I just found out I passed and I'm going to buy so much shit. Having that scare made me appreciate the opportunity university gives to dress different on the reg. Daily wear wardrobe is go, no more fucks given.
