I think I'm in a similar position.
For me I love the details and fabrics, it's enough to make me keep them. But I have tried to wear it a few times and felt the same way as you.
I feel really foolish and insecure in a full coord.
That being said I didn't want to be irrational and sell everything knowing how much sentimentality I feel. I knew I wanted to keep majority of what I have, so I've only sold off a few pieces that really weren't my style.
It took a while to think it over but now I've come to the decision that eventually I do want to wear them.
So my plan is to start with wearing one item in with my usual wardrobe. It won't make it lolita but that doesn't bother me, if anything I feel less insecure, I want to feel comfortable wearing my clothes because...they are my clothes.
I figure if I continue slowly getting used to some pieces, and trying out different styling, then it's besides the point if I end up looking like a lolita or not. I want to enjoy these pieces in a way that isn't them just languishing in a wardrobe.

Take some more time to really think it through. If you don't have any need to sell, then guilt or feeling like you're an imposter isn't a good enough reason imo. They're your clothes :)

Would love to one day pull off something like Nana Kitade's style
