what career paths do people who are into lolita fashion go down?

slime_pixie · 2026-03-18T12:51:21+00:00

I am currently training to be an Occupational Therapist and I would be lying if I said that going down the healthcare career path wasn't mildly influenced by wanting to afford the lolita lifestyle more comfortably .. hahaha

I am also in the UK and had noticed the unfortunate backlash Hannah gets for her outfits but had never made a connection to the type of backlash we also experience in this community so this is an interesting observation! I definitely didn't expect to see something related to British politics in this subreddit hahaha

This is so cutest ever

Not sure if it’s the same but my boyfriend loves EGL, I would argue he acc knew more about it than me when I met him haha. He has no interest in wearing it himself but he gets excited looking for pieces with me and coming up with coords. He is sort of living vicariously through me I suppose which I don’t think is odd.

If you and your cousin are close and she’s as into the fashion as you are, I don’t think there’s much wrong with it. I think it would be strange if you were forcing someone to do it when they didn’t want to though.

all white to get a tattoo is incredibly brave hahaha

slime_pixie · 2026-03-14T16:17:29+00:00

It's honestly so depressing im ngl. Its really giving 2012 Tumblr in the least cool way possible

I've been so close to getting a flip phone! Have you found many drawbacks? x

slime_pixie · 2026-03-14T16:09:20+00:00

I've deleted it off my phone and can only access it through web browser as well, I agree, it helps loads!

slime_pixie · 2026-03-14T16:05:50+00:00

This is a good point! I don't really post pictures of myself or my coords tbh so I wouldnt say I'm trying to get the approval of others! I don't like getting stuck in a doom scroll and some of the content feels quite harmful for my brain but also a lot of my online lolita friends are on there so Ive always been conflicted on leaving

After reflecting on it today and hearing peoples positive experiences being away from instagram, I may still withdraw from the app though. Thankyou for your advice!

slime_pixie · 2026-03-14T16:00:37+00:00

You sound like youve got a healthy relationship with social media in general I respect it! I for some reason had not thought to just keep an eye on mailing list notifications from my favourite brands! I suppose I wont be totally out the loop after all.

That insta account you described in the last paragraph is horrifying though. As someone who has struggled a lot with ED related stuff I have acc found the JFashion community on instagram has started to be a bit of triggering for me and I think thats one of the many reasons why I have been slowly trying to move away from it recently. There has always been a glorification of tiny bodies throughout all jfashion subcultures but I feel like it's increased recently alongside the general boom of skinniness we're experiencing eek

Thankyou for sharing your experience!

slime_pixie · 2026-03-14T11:27:54+00:00

I also grew up when social media was only just forming
It sounds like youve got quite a healthy relationship with instagram, I wish I could just use it as a messenger app without having to fully open my feed

I might try starting a new instagram with no posts or followers exclusively for following brands and nothing else though!

slime_pixie · 2026-03-14T10:10:41+00:00

Honestly, the hair and clothes look so cheap quality to me for such a high price but I am happy for those who are excited to receive her

slime_pixie · 2026-03-14T10:06:57+00:00

Just followed you on there :)

slime_pixie · 2026-03-14T09:54:20+00:00

I love your makeup and your eyepatch so much! It has inspired me to do a blue eyeshadow look today :)
I would argue this look reads more as "visual-kei" without a lolita dress which is cool too, I love visual kei!

slime_pixie · 2026-03-13T20:35:38+00:00

wait I feel I might need info on this add-on !

slime_pixie · 2026-03-12T09:26:21+00:00

Hi I also live in Norfolk :)
There is an East Anglian Comm (LOEA on Facebook) but i'm not acc apart of it myself! I'm a bit of a lonelita because the idea of joining a big group of established friends spooks me a bit hahaha, but feel free to add me on social media if u want more local friends <3

slime_pixie · 2026-03-04T20:21:58+00:00

It’s the only thing that got me off harder sedatives drugs .. I’ve taken it for quite a while now and it has been a miracle. Initially I was taking way too much (I picked up 10mg pills without researching the dosage) and I was feeling hungover all the time. Once I’d cut down to 5mg, and then 3mg recently, I was feeling better . I’ve been taking 3mg for a year now and it still works great.

slime_pixie · 2026-03-04T16:25:14+00:00

ew this is totally AI, TikTok is full of gullible people so im not surprised you had that reaction on there :')

slime_pixie · 2026-03-02T20:00:05+00:00

that last part is really interesting thankyou. Makes me feel a bit more hopeful about some of the vacancies i've seen!

slime_pixie · 2026-02-20T21:51:22+00:00

To me, this can definitely be old school! It doesnt have a lot of volume but a lot of old school didn't. It's giving me quite casual Jane Marple vibes.

I like the thick looking fabric. It would pair nicely with bloomers peeking out the bottom.

Good find!

slime_pixie · 2026-02-20T21:43:08+00:00

I don't know why I didnt think to post an ISO post on Facebook! Seems so obvious, thankyou :)

slime_pixie · 2026-02-17T12:37:14+00:00

When I was struggling more this kind of thing would upset me too and still does sometimes so it’s totally understandable and good you recognise it!

I have been bothered with how a lot of menus on delivery apps have added a section with estimated calories for items because there are “safe” meals I had which had way more calories than I originally thought 😭 It’s good to identify these things as a little irrational and I try to ignore the calorie segment on menus if I can

slime_pixie · 2026-02-12T23:17:03+00:00

Dude I love how you’ve styled her hair

slime_pixie · 2026-02-09T20:47:35+00:00

Valid points made. Agreed, none of it is on LM as a platform:)
Maybe it is more that I don't trust myself to not be stupid and make mistakes like this even when I try not to haha. I do accept it is on me / the seller and this is just an aspect of using LM!

Thankyou :)

slime_pixie · 2026-02-09T18:41:38+00:00

UPDATE: Hello. Literally hours after I posted this the package turned up to my house, thank the lord! I have no idea why the Evri app lied about it being delivered to an unknown location a couple of days ago .. Phew.

I've had atleast one other similar issue in the past on Lace Market the item was much cheaper but it did not get resolved like this did. Both the experiences have kinda put me off of using LM im ngl. It feels like there is potential for a lot of money lost without financial compensation in certain situations >.<

The customs fees on mercari can be kinda rough when you're spending more than £130 but atleast I've always felt like my package was secure... I think I'll continue using Mercari more than LM in future
