52 week challenge: why I don't wear lolita more often

why I don't wear lolita more often

I have the clothes in my wardrobe so why don't I wear them more often? 

First of all I think many items I own are a bit too much for everyday! I own some otome brands which I wear more regularly but the more elaborate peices get saved for meet ups and events. 

I try to wear lolita once or maybe twice a week when I go out at the weekend and in the week if I meet with friends. Even after years of wearing the style I'm not very likely to wear it of I go out alone, although it depends where I'm going and I'd probably wear it if I was going somewhere different than my home town. 

Lolita isn't the most practical fashion, all the layers and petticoats get in the way. When I'm home I like to wear comfortable clothes and if I'm crafting or cooking I don't want to spoil my Lolita clothes.  

This has made me think about lolita aprons :)

I love the idea of wearing lolita with an apron whilst crafting.

Metamorphose used to make a lot of dresses with aprons like this:

Its very cute, I'm not sure if I'd swap my comfy clothes or not. Perhaps if its fully shirred then it would be very comfortable but I like to wear fluffy socks around the house and they would look silly! 

I think what job you do can be very restricting when it comes to being able to wear lolita at work, I can't think of any job I've had where it would have been possible either due to having to wear a uniform or simply for practicality but I can imagine some jobs would be fine but I've never had such a job sadly. 

I wish I could wear it more often but I do get to wear it so I'm happy with that.
