I used to mostly wear gothic clothes for years, but then suddenly, I got really fascinated with lolita clothes and somehow it has gotten so far I have actually purchased lolita clothes :) Myself, I like the style to be clean, though, lots of genuinely vintage things (maybe having a babyssb dress, but vintage blouse, apron and socks) and also I have gotten really fond of guro lolita... I don't like the "broken doll" theme (hospital stuff), but I more like the look of a "murderous porcelain doll", you know, looking like an angel, holding a bloody knife with a look that says "oh you're not suspecting ME are you?" haha either way, it's so cool that we are all so different and that there are many different clothes available out there! <3 I suppose you are right, there will always be the more old-fashioned and the more modern, just like with everything else.

However in Classic lolita (Innocent World mainly, continue to make headdresses in the traditional sense of the item) this is not so much so. This article focuses mainly on the sweet and gothic lolita brands and fashion followers. Cutesy is in - Classic will remain something of a fringe style or what lolita "uesd" to look like before Angelic Pretty injected a cocktail of glitter, plastic and neon pink into the vein of the greater Lolita body. I personally don't mind AP (though am amivivilantt about their cookie cutter cult followers) I feel that this is so due to the prevalence and popularity of sweet lolita that through Maki and Asuka’s aesthetic rethinking of what sweet Lolita and Angelic Pretty means to lolita – the modern has be come one of the mainstays of Sweet Lolita.

First of all, I have never heard anyone say a headdress looks like a maxipad and they don't. Also, though I don't own a headdress, I think they look very beautiful and classical. Bows look a little more modern and "cutesie" to me, especially if they are attached as hair clips or head bands and aren't actual ribbons. I don't usually dress lolita myself, though I've become fascinated by it, but I don't get the lolita trends that are modern, such as high platform/rocking horse shoes and the little tiaras and plastic purses... Lolita is supposed to look old-fashioned and time-less, right? In my opinion lolita is best when very old-fashioned, I don't at all like the modern, plastic-y details. Either way, I'm glad we are all different. You don’t know how much I disagree. First of all, I have never heard anyone say a headdress looks like a maxipad and they don’t.

I think it's because it seems more unique to me... You could probably find something that resembles an Alice bow in the children's accessories department at Wal-Mart, but good luck trying to find something that resembles a headdress. Headdress are more unique to Lolita fashion, I think. Also, I've found that to escape the "maxi-pad" look, you should aim towards headdresses that have patterns and ribbon on them (and lace, but not too much or else it looks like some odd piece of lingerie), because last time I checked, maxi-pads don't have ribbon or patterns on them :P This is sad :( I love headdresses!

I looked around the table and all of us either had hair bows (those elastic types that Meta sells), berets or flower clips. There needs to be more round headdress love. I have a few. Those things look neat~ I still love those skinny headdresses that Innocent World has. Yeah, I noticed the death of the staple headdress recently when my friends and I were having tea.
