A couple of favorites things:

One of my favorite trends from old school is lace topped socks. Even if they are unflattering on a lot of people, especially when they are UTK, I still love them. I have an OTK pair that I loved dearly that got ruined and I'm still sad over it and even if I never wear Lolita again I still want some new lace topped socks. They just scream "THIS IS LOLITA" to me.

I love chunky platform shoes as much as I love tea parties. I know tea parties are not considered old school, but I believe they were originally released way back in 2005 which is pretty old. But since they are still worn with modern Lolita I assume that's why they are considered inappropriate for old school.

I really love beading lace with ribbons tired through it. I have no idea why. It's just so perfect and lovely.

I love the subtle poof old school had. It suits me a lot better than the modern big poof does. It also makes Lolita a lot easier to wear, and if you need to skip the petti it usually doesn't look deflated and sad.

Pretty, doll-like bloomers just bearly peeking out from the hem of a skirt or dress is my favorite, and I wish it would come back in style.
