No, we don't live in 90s Japan, but considering that is where the fashion originated, I really don't think it matters if someone is just an "occasion" lolita. Most lolitas were just "occasion" lolitas in the country it originates from, and that matters a lot more than the opinions of some salty anons on a message board.

If someone doesn't want to wear lolita or doesn't like lolita, then they just aren't going to be a lolita. No one is going to waste hundreds of dollars to piece together decent meetup and convention coordinates while simultaneously hating the fashion. It's just not always practical for daily wear, not everyone wants to waste time on wearing it daily too. Stop whining about "WAAHHH BORING NORMIE". You sound like an upset edgy scene kid whining about the preps. People can enjoy being in normal clothes AND sweatpants AND lolita fashion. These aren't mutually exclusive concepts.

Your average outsider cannot differentiate genuine lolita fashion with milanoo crap. To them, we're all just inspired by Melanie Martinez, or Lady Gaga. The normies don't care whos a real lolita and who isn't, so who are we trying to impress? The dignity of the fashion isn't going to be ruined because of some people who only wear lolita to cons and meetups. The fashion never had any in the first place.

I'm glad to hear your dress is still in good condition. I'm jealous you own it but also insanely happy for you.

This coord >>8461953 aswell as the one I've posted are my favourite old school coord shots. I love the use of textures, the haircuts, the shoes everything is so on point.
