Lolita subtypes

Gothic Lolita
The most recognised of the lolita styles, consists mainly of black and white. The basis for other lolita styles.
Kuro Lolita + Shiro Lolita
Kuro- Japanese for Black and Shiro- Japanese for white, literally means Black lolita and White lolita, and refers to the colour of dress, often with this style they go round in twos, one in black and one in white.
Kuro
Shiro
Sweet Lolita
Hime Lolita
Hime (pronounced - Hee -mey) Translates in to Princess, Its very similar to sweet lolita, although usually the dresses are more fitted, and its more acceptable to not wear a blouse underneath them. Crowns are often worn, and hair is usually backcombed at the top and goes in to long ringlets

Gothic lolita basics

For years and years I have been in love with Japanese culture and fashion. My main favourite street style was and still is gothic lolita.
I wanted to do a post explaining the gothic lolita style and basics.
Gothic lolita street style was based around English Victorian and Rocco era dresses.
The term lolita in England and America is considered ladylike yet provocative after a film based on the 1940's was released (Enough about that anyways)
Gothic lolita followers consider the style to be cute and covered up, the opposite of provocative
The first garment of lolita wear is the undergarments, traditionally bloomers are worn with petticoats over the top, without this dresses lie flat, you want them to stick out and be volumised.
As for the accessories either a lace headband or mini tophats are worn, occasionaly bonnets feature in lolita style. Chokers are worn with lolita dresses that have low necklines, they often have a gothic style crucafix on them or hanging down.
Long socks must ALWAYS be worn, these are a lolita basic! Leg exposure is considered provocative, and lolita style is supposed to be innocent. Lolita shoes are usually a platform mary jane shoe, ballet pumps are also acceptable, but most lolitas go for these. The T.U.K. sailor shoes (as seen above) are a favourite of mine and go with any dark lolita dresses.
Lolita gloves can be worn (these are usually fingerless) they are usually mainly lace with a corset style middle.
There are many types of lolita dresses, these coloured ones are my favourites at the moment. Ill be posting more on lolita fashion theres more to come!

Fashion Post

Omg, Just realised how long its been since I posted! :O
Basicly, just for the update, iv been in america, started fashion college, got a job, and im planning to go to the clothes show live at the end of the year, Hooray!
Thought id post a few things i love right now :)
Jumpers + Tights I cant explain why i like this combo so much, but hey since winters coming might as well stock up on em'!
Floaty fabrics and 60's chic, long skirts especially, dont know if i can pull this off for everday wear though.
Dark see through fabrics, I Just recently bought a black sheer blouse from American Apparel, which is lovely so im putting the link here ;) www.americanapparel.com/rsa0345.html?cid=930
Long knee length skirts, with the front cut out! they dont have to be floor length though, if your unsure on them, try different fabrics, or lengths, avoid prints if its on more solid materials like cotton or linnen, or it could look like your wearing a bedsheet.
