, I order to keep the post selection process fair and impartial, I have utilized a random number generator. This week, the topic 3 Lolita trends I thought I loved, but now I'm not keen on.

Over-the-top Sweet

​Over-the-top sweet is the lolita style that completely won me over. I finally crossed the line from admiring lolita to wearing it. I had fallen completely under the spell of piles of pastel pastries, carousel prints and wild cotton candy piled hair. My ideal vision of a dress was Angelic Pretty's Milky Planet.

Suddenly my style adapted. Drastically. The Sweet Lolita style I prefer now is entirely different. While I am still hopelessly enchanted with aspects of this style my focus has shifted. I see myself as a lolita with an interest Classic Sweet or Hime Style.

While I do enjoy the spirit of decora and over the top sweet on dolls or in artwork, it now has absolutely no place in my personal Lolita wardrobe.

Split Wigs

A very common lolita fashion trend that complimented the OTT craze was that of the split wig. I was particularly taken with the blonde/pink twin tail combination wig.

Now that I am no longer interested in practicing the over-the-top Sweet Lolita style my infinity for split wigs has deteriorated. My current style is, in my opinion, most flattering accompanied with a natural or solid colored wig.

Once again I find myself taken with split wigs for doll or costuming purposes, but I no longer have an interest in these two-tone wigs for everyday lolita purposes.

Cutsews

When I was first interested in building a lolita wardrobe I believed that the cutsew was the answer to my largest fashion obstacle.

The blouses fit comfortably in all the right places...save for at my bust line. I thought that by eliminating the entire button issue altogether I could be spared.

I was wrong. I could not fall in love with cutsews due to a basic material flaw. Jersey. A cutsew is, essentially, a t-shirt with lace embellishments. Regrettably I cannot adjust to this type of casual fabric in relation to lolita fashion.
