Forgot to add that part of treating it like "real fashion" imo is being willing to experiment and use your lolita pieces in non lolita outfits as well. Obviously if like grunge and dress in sweet it'll be hard, but for more similar styles why wouldn't you treat it like any other article of clothing? Refusing to use any part of lolita, even plain mary janes, in the other parts of your wardrobe unless it's 100% photoshoot ready lolita is what makes something feel really "fake." Like someone who refuses to wear black or dark make up at all normally but goes full Siouxsie copycat and tacks on a nose to ear chain for a club. You can like "conflicting" styles, I definitely do. It's making it so separate and trying to pretend there's only one state of dressiness that throws people off.
