/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I used to be lolita back in early high school. My coords were quiet and boring, neither ita nor amazing. I dropped out of lolita when my family moved and I had to sell my clothes. It's five years later and I'm at uni, and I really want to start dressing lolita again from time to time and joining the community here, but the girls here (especially one) are much richer than I am. Some of them can afford to be daily lolitas and always have the newest brand first-hand.

I'm afraid of being judged and left out because I won't be able to dress like them, and definitely can't afford to be a daily lolita atm. Even if they're nice, which they seem to be, I don't want to be that one frumpy/plain person ruining all their beautiful photoshoots. Can you people give me some advice/encouragement/a verbal slap please? I really want some lolita friends...
