So, there are a lot of girls on this site who post pictures of their lolita outfits. But we all know that we can't wear loli 24/7. So my question is, how often do you wear loli, and what do you wear outside of lolita.

I wear loli about 6 days a week (less often when I'm on a school break)

when I'm not in lolita I wear casual shirt and  skirt/shorts outfits and more recently, otome outfits. However I also wear mori on ocasion (I only have one mori outfit, lol)

 I even dress *gasp* hipster occasionally. I know the hipster look is very unpopular on MAF, but I like it ^^

Umm... well I would wear Mori and maybe bit of Gyaru but I really just work with what I own. I don't know what style it might apply to, it's just kinda me... I actually have a photo yet to be uploaded (took it on Max's cell) of a coord I wore out to dinner I believe. I had a nice outfit with jeans yesterday when I went out(randomly mentioning this cause normally I wear skirts, but I had jeans and heels yesterday, not skirt/dress and heels).. Since I rarely leave my house, when I do I normally dress up ( like most would for an "occastion") sorta...It seems not that dressy to me cause lollolita, but yeah.

Excuuusee the unknown style that doesn't exactly part-take in any asianfashion. If I spent more money on clothing I actually really want /moriandLoli/ than I'd have something more interesting to share.

 

First outfit I was dressed up to go to my dad's company hockey game thing. (His boss likes doing sport thingies.  ) Second was just a Coord I made sense a friend asked me what I paired the skirt with, and the last was just a "I wanna be cute today;m;" outfit. The last two outfits I didn't wear out anywhere. /haaaa....solame

 Just like me
They want to be

I have a whole range of style interests and I maybe wear actual Lolita once or twice a week. The rest of the time you'll find me in a punky version of Gyaru, all out Goth, occasional Mori Girl, and sometimes just jeans and cute tops with a blazer/cardigan.

I don't wear "normal" clothes very often... I haven't worn denim bottoms in over a year and recently got rid of everything that didn't fit with my current style. (It made a lot of space in my closet and dresser and let me be more organized!) If I'm not wearing lolita, I wear Mori Girl, Dolly Kei or just something cute with sweets accessories. But recently, like this past few months, I've been wearing a lot more Mori Girl. I think it's the season :)


One thing that's nice about dressing in those fashions is that shopping is easier. I just ask myself "does this fit with a lolita/mori/dolly coord" and if not, I don't buy it. It saves me from impulse buying and I get a more coordinated wardobe.


Here's a pic of what I wore to my tutoring job this week:

It also helps me not overspend on makeup~ I love buying makeup, but the fashions I wear don't really need a lot of products. For instance, I wouldn't buy turquoise eyeshadow, even if it's good quality or on sale, because lolita/mori girl/dolly kei don't typically use those colors in eye makeup. If all you're trying to do is look like a doll or woodland girl, you don't need such a huge range of colors. I'm less tempted to try out the next big amazing palette that everyone is talking about and this saves me money I can use for stuff that is more related to what I wear. One of my new year's resolutions is to spend less on makeup, actually. I have a ton already and I want to use it up. 

And in terms of clothes, it also forces me to be more creative and try harder with my coordinates. Buying $3 stripey tanks from Forever 21 may fill up my closet quite cheaply, but it also gives me an easy excuse to go out in very bleah clothes. If I don't have those options, I have to use my imagination and get together a really good lolita/mori girl/dolly kei coordinate.

but if its not lolita then its something elegant or goth...kinda like a gothy elegant style, and other times just something really cute ^^

If I don't wear Lolita clothes than I dress Punk, I don't have so many Lolita clothes, I dress Lolita only three times a week. :(
