Once or twice a month to meets in my local comm.

>Name one or two of your favorite pieces.
My Meta dusty rose sundress is my favorite summer piece since it's so light, Bodyline's carousel jsk is really comfortable for parties and con raves/dances, my old school IW BxW dress is perfect for winter, a black fully shirred Meta OP with a bustle is the most comfortable thing ever and it looks really elegant. I think I just love everything in my wardrobe, I don't have that many pieces but the things I do have are things I really enjoy wearing and coordinating.

>How long has it been since you began wearing lolita?
Maybe three to four months, it's very recent.

>How often do you wear lolita?
As often as I can, usually when I go out shopping for stuff that isn't food or house-related things.
Generally when I go out to just wander about the city, it's nice.

>Where do wear lolita? Or where do you NOT wear lolita?
I do not even think of wearing lolita to school, when I am out with a family member or to work if the place I work at doesn't call for it at all.

>Name one or two of your favorite pieces.
Right now it would be Chess Story's Starry Angel JSK.

>How long has it been since you began wearing lolita?
A little over 2 years.

>How often do you wear lolita?
Almost every day that I go out somewhere that isn't just running errands.

>Where do wear lolita? Or where do you NOT wear lolita?
Classes, out with friends, to dinner..

I don't wear it when I'm just sitting around at home, when I know I'll be getting particularly messy (like doing stuff outdoors-y), when I'm running around doing errands (ie groceries).

>Name one or two of your favorite pieces.
VM Chiffon Doll. I save it for special occasions but I love to just fawn over it in my closet, too.

>How long has it been since you began wearing lolita?
A little over five years.

>How often do you wear lolita?
Sporadically, a few times a month. Used to be a few times a week.

>Where do wear lolita? Or where do you NOT wear lolita?
I wear it pretty much anywhere, as long as I feel I'd be comfortable at the end of the day and there's a low chance of it getting wrecked. I wouldn't wear it volunteering or to Pillow Fight, but I'd still wear it to work or if I'm just going shopping on my own. Just toned down.

>Name one or two of your favorite pieces.
Meta's Antique Bouquet OP in pink and A&P's Tarot Card JSK in navy.

>How long has it been since you began wearing lolita?
2.5 years
>How often do you wear lolita?
Usually about once a week, but in the holidays it varies. I go to college and then I wear it about once a week but when I'm at home I have the most horrible seating positions and it's just too uncomfortable to wear it.
>Where do wear lolita? Or where do you NOT wear lolita?
I wear Lolita to college, to go out to the big city nearby, meets, the opera/ballet, dinner, etc etc. I don't wear it when I go to the smaller city nearby because that's just asking for trouble. I also don't wear it when I have presentations or exams at school.
>Name one or two of your favorite pieces.
I love about everything equally I guess. Cinderella Jewellery is my wardrobe's prize dress though.

pretty pissed at the local con's maid cafe. changed the uniforms to be only black x white.

oh, its not like I blew $60 on a maid dress just to volunteer for you. oh wait its a pink dress. GUESS THAT LEAVES ME OUT THEN

so pissed. not like I was looking foward to this or anything. the pastel uniforms were so much cuter.. why would they change that?

>How long has it been since you began wearing lolita?
About 5-6 years

>How often do you wear lolita?
As of late, once a month.

>Where do wear lolita? Or where do you NOT wear lolita?
Going out with friends/other lolitas, and when I can afford to, I'll wear it at conventions...as long as the activities aren't strenuous or impractical, I'll wear the fashion. I wish I could wear it to my classes, but I do a lot of hands on/messy work or work that involves a lot of moving around in.

>Name one or two of your favorite pieces.
I'm actually not in love with what I have in my wardrobe. I really miss my Glitter Trump set.

>How long has it been since you began wearing lolita?
I started six or so years ago but it wasn't any good. I stopped when I realised how stupid i looked, but now that there are clearer 'rules' and a bigger following I started back maybe a year ago.
>How often do you wear lolita?
Two or three times a month.
>Where do wear lolita? Or where do you NOT wear lolita?
Apart from meets, usually just when I feel like it. Mostly on days when I know I'll be at lectures or researching all day, or when I'm going out to do something nice like to a cafe or cinema.

Wonder Party and Toy Parade release JSKs are my favorites in my wardrobe right now.

Not very long, only a few months. Been lurking for a couple years though
>How often do you wear lolita?
I've only worn it a few times, still building up my wardrobe.
>Where do wear lolita? Or where do you NOT wear lolita?
At meets with my local loli group or cons (usually in the city). I don't wear it to uni as it's impractical and takes AGES to get ready. And definitely not to work.
>Name one or two of your favorite pieces.
My AP Triple Tart JSK in lavender. I haven't seen much of this dress at all but I love it lots. Also polkadot chocolate JSK or OP in mint which I am yet to aquire

>How long has it been since you began wearing lolita?
5 years now, I think, maybe 6.

>How often do you wear lolita?
For a while I was wearing it at least 5 times a week. Then I moved and got out of the habit. Fora while it was nothing. Right now it's more like one or two.

>Where do wear lolita? Or where do you NOT wear lolita?
Everywhere, pretty much. Had the luxury to wear it to work, too.

>Name one or two of your favorite pieces.
All of my favorites are boring pieces, heh. I like old-style sweet and classic ones. Probably my favorite is a gorgeous minty Mary Mag OP, but it's a little more fancy than my daily wear. Along with the AP Birdcage OP, too.

9 months

Wear it at home to sit around or throw something on when I'm messing with my other clothes. Occasionally go to a meet.

>Name one or two of your favorite pieces.
Out of what I own? AP Pure Doll OP and all of my Meta sailor stuff. I love sailor but it feels a little ridiculous to wear it out, if anything can be accused of looking ageplay, I think sailor has a better claim than sweet to be honest. So, just wear it at home, alone.

>>6566673
>How long has it been since you began wearing lolita?
Almost 3 years.
>How often do you wear lolita?
I took a break from lolita for like 6 months because I lost interest, but I didn't sell any of my clothes because I wasn't ready to give up completely. I've recently become interested again and started wearing outfits at least once a week.
>Where do wear lolita? Or where do you NOT wear lolita?
Out to do errands, to school (community college), to the mall, on dates with my boyfriend sometimes, to conventions. I don't wear it to family get-togethers or when I hang out with non-lolita friends (I don't want to make them uncomfortable).
>Name one or two of your favorite pieces.
It's hard to pick favorites because I love all the dresses I own. I guess my favorite would be pic related.

10 years

1-4 times a week, depending on what I'm doing.

>How long has it been since you began wearing lolita?
4 years or so.
>How often do you wear lolita?
At least once or twice a week.
>Where do you wear lolita? Or where do you NOT wear lolita?
My wardrobe is 40% work clothes, 50% lolita, and 10% "other" stuff. Lolita makes up the main portion of my non-work or casual wear, so I wear it whenever it doesn't matter too much what style of clothing I'm wearing e.g. house parties, grocery shopping, dinners out. I also wear my lolita items in non lolita ways since if I paid that much for it, I may as well wear it. Obviously I don't wear full on OTT sweet lolita to work.
>Name one or two of your favourite pieces.
In my wardrobe: Moitie Lace Flock Chiffon JSK

Not so often anymore, maybe twice a month.

>Where do wear lolita? Or where do you NOT wear lolita?
Wherever I feel like it, but usually just to meets and cons nowadays. I used to wear it to class or whatever, but it got tiring. I still will wear otome to class though.

>Name one or two of your favorite pieces.
My AP Wonder Party skirt in pink x sax is my ultimate favorite. I adore the print and want the black bustier jsk too.

>How long has it been since you began wearing lolita?
Been wearing it since I was young but only really started wearing it daily when I was roughly 14 years of age.

>How often do you wear lolita?
Daily but I keep my best pieces for special occasions.

>Where do wear lolita? Or where do you NOT wear lolita?
I where it everywhere and anywhere. However I do tend to change the type of lolita I wear depending on the place. Example if I was to do grocery shopping I'd wear bodyline, but if I was to go to a meal out or an event, I'd wear a brand piece like BTSSB, AP or Meta

>>6570001
Dude, why did you copy my answers and then modify them slightly? That's fucking weird.

See >>6568529

>How long has it been since you began wearing lolita?
A year, I think. I've been interested in the fashion for years but didn't take it seriously until now.
>How often do you wear lolita?
Once or twice a week. My style crosses Otome and Mori fairly often, so I'm really more about owning versatile pieces.
>Where do wear lolita? Or where do you NOT wear lolita?
Classes, fancier days, any time when it's reasonable to wear something nice. Definately not at work, curreny job requires a uniform.
>Name one or two of your favorite pieces.
MM's Ekaterina OP and Meta's Pinktuck JSK. I adore everything I own, but Ekaterina will always be my favorite and Meta is amazingly comfortable.

>How long has it been since you began wearing lolita?
4 years ago, but something horrible happened to a lot of pieces I used to own.

>How often do you wear lolita?
I make time to wear it once a week, twice on a special occasion, but building my wardrobe up again has been difficult and it makes me a bit depressed. I used to wear it every day.

>Where do wear lolita? Or where do you NOT wear lolita?
I don't wear it hiking or on an outside outing unless it's a picnic or some such. Pretty much anywhere I wouldn't want good clothes getting dirty.

>Name one or two of your favorite pieces.
Victorian Maiden Rococo Bouquet JSK and my Innocent World Birdcage JSK(along with that amazing neck corset thing)

Also if anyone asks I can explain what happened to my wardrobe.

>>6570858
I'm curious!

On a side note though why didn't you just say what happened up front? It's obvious that people might ask, you even acknowledged that in the last sentence.

I'm not >>6570858
but I'm pretty sure I threw most of my wardrobe in the donate bin by accident when I moved cross-country.

At least 5 grand, MIA....

Crossing my fingers it's buried in my mom's basement and I wasn't honestly stupid enough to store my shit in plastic trash bags....

>>6570866
Didn't want to type it out and seem like I wanted tons of sympathy.

Anyway, a few years ago I was living with my boyfriend and his really close friend. His friend's girlfriend would hang out alot but turns out she was a huge overbearing bitch, she thought I wanted to fuck her boyfriend when she really wanted to fuck mine(guess she thought everyone was like her) Well, anyway, we lived in a small town so there weren't lolitas other than me, though I traveled to the city for a meetup every once in a while, but she took an interest in it. She was pretty well off and she got into gothic lolita really quickly with plenty of money to blow on moitie. We had been pretty alright friends until she started acting like a huge bitch to me and in general for no reason but she still hung out a bit.

Then one day apparently while I was at work she tried to seduce/fuck my boyfriend to no avail and she stormed out and then the drama started. She got her boyfriend on mine saying he tried to seduce her. And basically while they were outside arguing and distracted she locked herself into the apartment and literally started trashing everything inside. My stuff, my boyfriend's and even her boyfriends stuff. Shit like my high school year book and family gifts.

She called the police afterwards saying there was a huge fight upstairs that broke out and blaming my and her boyfriend on it which ended up in us getting kicked out of the small apartment complex even though no charges were filed, but friendships were ruined.

And the worst part is that he is still with her after all of that crap.

I ended up moving to a bigger city once I got my new job and needless to say I've been a bit put off from meeting other lolitas, so I basically stay to myself in that regard. It's really troubling because it's not so much the dresses or the items I miss, it's the fond memories I held with them. All ruined by someone so immature.

>>6570879
Ouch!
Some family members recently binned some of my stuff despite me telling them to leave it alone. I was pissed purely because of the principle of it all (don't touch people's stuff when they tell you not too.) I was just lucky that none of it was valuable.
I hope your stuff turns up anon!

>>6570891
holy shit

I would of murdered her right then and there with my cold hands. Is there a reason why would didn't ever press charges?

>>6570902
The cops basically believed her over everyone else(small town rich bitch privilege) so it was more of charges from my boyfriend against hers or vice versa. I did get revenge on her in a way, she tried to street race me once and ended up crashing her car and breaking her collarbone.

>How long has it been since you began wearing lolita?
3 years

>How often do you wear lolita?
Once a week or more if its around an event. I never planned on wearing it this much but eventually I started buying less & less casual clothes..

>Where do wear lolita? Or where do you NOT wear lolita?
Everywhere except to bars & clubs. Once I wore AP to a gay bar & my dress got touched on constantly. I was too flattered by the praises I tried to not let on how booze dampened fingers grazing my $400 dress irritated me.

>Name one or two of your favorite pieces.
oh man. This is a hard one! I would probably say IW's Antique book JSK, specifically in Bordeaux. It was my first brand purchase and I love it even when it's a pain to coordinate sometimes. My favorite sweet piece currently is my A La Carte white JSK, mostly because it's super easy to coordinate.
