Before I order some of their beautiful clothing or a wig, I do a little wishlist thingy - to get my readers familiar with sololita.com fashion and also to help myself decide what to order.
I don´t wear lolita fashion as much as I used to and I have changed my lolita style a lot. I´m not anymore searching for casual, because I don´t feel the burden of "having to wear lolita because I am a lolita". When I need comfortable and casual, I just don´t wear lolita. I also left sweet substyle behind me. What interests me the most about lolita these days, is the historical link in this fashion. Baroque, rococo, victorian. Very frilly, classy, decadent, almost haute-couture-looking and even over-the-top. This style is a perfect playground for my favourite playing with makeup, styling and a camera.
Now to my wishlist. I have chosen one (max.two) item from each category at sololita.com. store. Only category I left out is "punk" because it is not exactly my cup of absinth :)
Sorry there are only links, no direct pictures of clothes - On sololita.com the pictures are not downloadable or directly linked to a picture URL. Just click the links and see my inspiration pics and videos :)
Dresses - sweet
BLUE CAROUSEL
Lolita Elegant Pink Long Sleeves Blue Cotton Stand Collar Lace Hem Sweet Dress
In this category I pick this beautiful dress, that i feel more like "classic" than "sweet", but whatever. I love the colourway, not to mention that i love carousel horse print. I would wear it with my pink wig.
Dresses - classic
ROMANTICIST
Original Retro Alice long sleeve Wine Red Flounced Classic Lolita Dress
Original Retro Alice long sleeve Wine Red Flounced Classic Lolita Dress
From classic dresses I love this one the most. So frilly and all red, it reminds me of a Little Red Riding Hood walking though a winter woods. I think of german romanticist painters, the Grimm brothers and also of this music video by Rammstein:
I would definitely do a photoshoot inspired by "Du Riechts so gut" in that dress. I would sport them with bald head or black long wig.
Dresses - gothic
VAMPIRE BRIDE
White Cotton Stand Collar Feifei Sleeves Lace Trim Gothic Lolita Dress
White Cotton Stand Collar Feifei Sleeves Lace Trim Gothic Lolita Dress
With this dress, my thoughts stay in romatic visions. This beautiful white lacey dress with stand-up collar and interesting sleeves reminds me of the bridal costume that was worn by Coppola´s vampire beauty Lucy Westenra in Bram Stoker´s Dracula.
But it can be worn many more ways than a gothic way with pale makeup and grim atmosphere. I can imagine this dress combined with natural looking flower wreath and pastel colours in a cult-party kei outfit.
I would do both and more. I love that dress.
Dresses - gothic victorian

Well, this is a princess stuff. I love big dresses and these two are perfect. If you insist on another cultural reference, here it is: The Phantom of the Opera.
Skirts
Kawayi Sweet Pink Lace Multi-layer Lolita Skirt
From skirt section I chose two completely different pieces. The first one is suitable for everyday look, I can imagine myself sporting it with black biker jacket and a pair of docs for workday, or with silver leggings, a bodysuit, high heel boots and big wig for more glamorous opportunity.
White Corset Multi-layer Pleated Lolita Skirt
This white one is a full lolita again, wonderful and frilly in pure white. Thinking of brides and creepy photoshoots again.
Blouses
A LADY OR A DANDY
My favourite blouses at the store are these. They all are very victorian. I like this type of blouse both with skirts in proper historical way or with skinny jeans, oxfords and a jockey jacket for everyday fashion. Lady style or dandy style.

Accessories
Lolita Vintage Black Lace Pearls with Butterfly Bracelet
I LO -O-O-O-VE THE BUTTERFLY THERE!
Lolita Vintage Court Bride Lace Floral Cameo Drop Necklace
Gorgeous accessory.
Shoes
STRANGE BUT CUTE
Blue Lacing PU Sweet Lolita Shoes
These shoes are the first that really hit my eye. The shape is weird - but i love it. Want them, so I could explore the ways how to coordinate them. They are screaming for lace-top socks and a satchel bag.
FAVOURITE PAIR
Black Lacing PU Sweet Lolita Baba Shoes
And these are something I would wear all the time as my favourite shoes. I love platforms, but I don´t like walking on heels. This is the right option - cute shape, few centimetres added to my hobbit-like figure, comfortable walking, match with variety of styles I like to wear.
Wigs
Dream Girls Curl Sweet Roleplay Lolita Wig
This one has such a pretty colour. I love the cut too, perfect for a flower wreath or simple bow. The hair seems thick and good quality.
Queen Pink Long Curly Yellow Gradient Lolita Cute Cosplay Wig
This one is like vanilla/strawberry whipped ice cream and would perfectly go with my crazy drag-queen inspired stylings.
Purple Cute Roleplay Lolita Wig
And this one is purple and I love purple! :)
So that´s it, hope you enjoyed both the long article and the clothes. Which of these would you like to see on me the most? Which would YOU pick ?:)
