I have a decent amount of second hand IW and Meta that I wear daily, but never post to CoF because I'm not really interested in criticism on daily coords I wear to run errands/ feel like seeing myself posted to ita threads for being boring. I've been meaning to set up an IG, though. I'm too lazy for a proper blog.

>>9177524
I think the whole trend in Lolita recently is everything being completely OTT and conlitas are not helping that go away.

It's sad when a girl with a really well put together coord goes unnoticed because it's simple and something not so well thought out gets attention because it's OTT and wings and props etc. I personally don't post to CoF or anywhere because Lolita is my daily style and I'm a lonelita, but I can imagine those who do would feel discouraged to do more toned down coords.

Makes it feel like it's a costume instead of a fashion.

But none of these are casual. These are just normal, non-OTT lolita coords.

>>9177536

>>9177536
that's why I said "daily/casual." there were a lot of conversations about how non-ott coords are getting drowned out and there's not a lot for those of us who just wear lolita every day (and don't want to wear cakes on our heads or whatever). you are welcome to post casual though!

>>9177538

>>9177533
You and me both, anon.

>>9177538
...that's literally just a normie outfit with a Lolita skirt

>>9177528
>bag attached to another bag
this idea is brilliant but it's also so not casual..
>>9177529
>>9177531
>>9177532
>>9177524
how are these casual?

>>9177533
Please do! I'm trying to build a daily wadrobe and its so hard to find inspiration for good coords that people are actually wearing on a daily basis. OTT are great and its always fun to see what people are wearing when they look their best, but I want to see how people look when they're picking up groceries too.

>>9177533
I also wear a lot of my meta and IW daily and when I do post to CoF I always get a few people nitpicking me on here and I find it kind of funny t b h

>>9177533
instagram seems to be the way to go for posting coords that are a WIP or just a daily coord without having to worry too much about getting unnecessary critique.

>>9177540
I'm just a bit sad when I see a perfectly normal coord labelled as casual.
Casual/daily lolita is a really comfy style, where matchy-matchyness, 100%lolita accessories and dtaple pieces are not necessary.
Like you just wear your lolita dresses and some other cute stuff.

>>9177545
*sigh* I knew I should have just said daily and not casual... oh well. bring on the cutsews I guess

I mostly included the word "casual" so people knew this wasn't a "daily lolita" livejournal thread. if people want to make this about casual lolita, that's fine. but I personally wear "boring" coords regularly and wanted a thread to talk about what people wear regularly (not to cons/meet ups/etc). it seems like there was a bunch of talk about this kind of thing elsewhere on the board too.

if people want to make this about casual (cutsews, non lolita pieces, etc) that's fine too :)

And end of dump.

OP gave up so quick.
Dump habbening later tonight.

>>9177692
This OP is so damn cute. I know it's Meta and was released sometime around 2003 but does anyone have any more information on it?

>what do you think?
I think OTT and only wearing it to con's and teaparties is way more popular so it drowns out daily lolita and girls who got into it because they love this aesthetic, who try to incorporate this in their daily clothing style and even how they decorate their house/room. But it's OK we can co-exist. Don't get so offended if you're a conlita and someone complains about OTT, and don't get so offended when someone shits on lifestyle lolita. It's a shame if newbies think there is only 1 side of this fashion tough.

>what do you wear daily?
if I don't have to go to work I wear lolita. ''Full'' lolita but not OTT. But I work 5 days a week. I have to wear a suit at work and when I get home I'm usually too tired to wear a ''full'' coord, so I just throw on an OP and leave it at that (obviously my hair and make-up would already have been done for work). Something like >>9177713 looks most similar to what I wear daily after work, but with the nude tights I'm still wearing from work because that's just how lazy I am.

>where do you buy it?
victorian maiden, innocent world, moi meme moitie, sheglit

>what are your favorite daily coords?

>>9177585

even though i'm new to the fashion, and i can appreciate OTT coords (pastel vomit ott shit originally got me interested in lolita) i really dont see myself wearing OTT even if i ever start going to meets or events.

sauce on dress?

>>9177528
This doesn't match.

>>9178395
It's Innocent World's Crown Jewels Collection! I think she's wearing a blouse with a jabot under it.

>>9178403
It doesn't need to be as matchy matchy for casual.

>>9178341
thanks, I've never really looked through IW's stuff.

>>9177533
Please do! I might have to get IG if that's where casual lolita is going to be.

Love this thread, so I'll dump a few.

sorry, just realized that's not one of her lolita posts

>>9187492

>>9177563
the more I look at this the more I like it. I would dress like this constantly if I were lolita.

I love this firl's coords. They always look so comfy.

Where does fanny post pics/where are you pulling from? I never really followed her and I heard she's not as active anymore, but I need some good classic inspiration for my folder. Thanks for dumping!

>>9187823
just found her instagram

>what the FUCK

>>9187802
Continuing dump

>>9187839
? What's up with her insta? It's hot and humid weather in Okinawa so she doesn't exactly wear Lolita at the moment.

>>9188026

>>9188029

This thread gives me life. Let me see what I can dump without it being Fanny's images.

I pulled from her tumblr. she has a masterpost of her main pieces so you can just look through what your interested in... I don't follow her anymore but it's still there

"Lolita is not a costume! " only wears lolita to cons and never in daily life.

Looks down on off brand, spends 100s on a coord only to wear it once ir twice.

Yes I think conlitas ruin it for people that actually enjoy wearing the fashion for themselves vs those that wear it to compete with other brand whores.

>>9187797
These co-ords are beautiful, is there a source?

This girl used to post so much more, did something happen to her? Her coords are simple but always solid and I liked seeing someone with a large number of dresses post often

Same with victorianme, her posting has dropped off a lot

>>9188579
Just treat it as a fashion yourself, support brands that make less OTT pieces, wear it and the people around you will see it as a fashion too. How do conlita's hurt you? Complaining about them doesn't make them go away and considering this is also a cosplay board this is probably where most conlita's are.

>>9187797
>>9188611
I'd also like to know!

>>9188760
32ki on Tumblr or dura-sorte on Ameblo.

>>9188613
Are you shitting me? she posts all the time.
Victorinme is in China now so that may slow her down but this girl posts on cof often.

>>9188076
This is a very nice photo and she is cute, but
>these falsies
>that scarf
>that one lonely thread on the side stich of skirt part
>that tulle/peeking petticoat
Every fucking time

I'm guilty of being an OTT conlita only because I live in such a rural place where I never see any sort of Jfashion so conventions were the only place I could wear it without feeling self-conscious. Thankfully now that I'm in college and looking towards workstudy on campus (all the instructors dress nicely) I'm putting effort into starting off with an off brand wardrobe to wear 2-3 times a week.
