The Curator's Lolita Checklist

 Hello my darlings ~!

The Curator has returned. It has been quite some time since my last post, so wanted come back with a short post inspired by one of my favorite old school lolita bloggers, Her Lumpiness. She wrote a post describing what her style of lolita looks like. It has been over half a year that I have been wearing lolita fashion so I think it has been enough time for me to get grasp of my own style. Here is a list of inspirations and preferences I have when it comes to my brand of EGL.


The Curator's lolita...

  • Is gothic, classic, or old-school sweet
  • Is vampiric (regardless of sub-style)
  • Prefers to be fashionable over functional
  • Heels > flats
  • Consists of mainly offbrand dresses paired with brand accessories
  • Likes to follow traditional "rules" of lolita coording (do not fix what is not broke!)
  • Has long nails (claws perhaps, who needs to type?)
  • Shows off her brand items because she is proud of her collection
  • Has everything in her purse because you never know what you might need
  • Wears glasses chains with (almost) every coord
  • Always wears bloomers (even in Arizona heat)
  • Finds inspiration through fashion history & historical films
  • Short-sleeve blouses & boleros > long-sleeve blouses
  • Likes to make a statement through the structure of a garment versus the print
  • Wears long pendant necklaces, silly statement earrings, and lots of chunky rings
  • Believes a look is never complete without hair and makeup done (at least minimally)
  • Knitwear > jackets

Love & Lace,
