I feel a similar way:
>Dress up at home
>Feel super cute
>Go outside
>Feel like I've made a huge mistake
>People talk to me
>Stutter mode: activated
I love dressing like this but I can hardly get any words out properly and I think it really puts people off.

>Usually dress in casual or more toned down coords
>Go out in full blown black n white old school
>That moment of panic as you're walking to class
>Tfw people look at you and you regret your entire life up to this point
>Feel like a crazy ita
>go to bathroom
>Look in the mirror and feel cute again
>Feel a lil better
I wish I didn't care so much about what other people think

I'm generally small, but I have very wide shoulders, absolutely flat chested, and have a wide pelvis. Buy things that fit my waist and bust but they're too tight in the hips and shoulders, buy things that fit in the shoulders and hips and they bunch up and hang on the bust. But I can't mention this whenever girls are discussing clothing fit because apparently I can get any clothes in the world and am a skinny shitlord. I can only wear puffed sleeves in lolita and have to put some work into adjusting other clothes. I don't think I've worn a straight off the rack, unaltered pair of pants since I was twelve.
>Tfw bought a normie blouse that was slightly too small in the shoulders
>Thought I could suffer through it because it was super cute
>Tfw bent forward and split it down the middle like the hulk

>be me
>be wearing lolita
>go out and about running errands
>check out at the counter
>be eyed by the clerk
>"oh, is this a cosplay? i sew my cosplay all the time. i love to cosplay as a lolita. my friend cosplays lolita too. what character are you?"
>smile and say "it's just clothing" in a pleasant tone
>clerk gets a bit huffy and finishes in a haste
