The still ill blogger

Hey guys it's Laura and yes as the title indicates I am still ill and I feel pretty crummy.. but on with the blog today I will introduce you to two more types of lolita 

  • Country Lolita
  • Wa Lolita
Country Lolita

Country Lolita is derived from the Sweet Lolita style, and is can sometimes be hard to distinguish due to the use of the same sweet patterns, and motifs that the Sweet Lolita style uses. 
The Country Lolita style can be recognised by straw baskets, hats, fruit, and gingham patterns.

Like Sweet Lolita, Country Lolita follows the same modest guide-lines, as well as the full, bell-shaped skirt.

The make-up suited for this style would be very basic, and natural. If you're going outside try some sun-screen, some light lip-stick, and some blush.

Example 

Wa Lolita

Wa Lolita is a style that is often recognized by a Kimono-esque look of the outfits.

Wa Lolita involves long 'sode' or, sleeves, and 'obi' or sashes that are taken from Kimono/yukata outfits, and fused with the bell-shaped skirt of lolita. Wa Lolita fabrics are often very extravagant like most Kimono fabrics, involving detailed flower prints, and cranes. Like all Lolita outfits and Kimono, Wa Lolita should not be made out of shiny fabrics such as those that Chinese qi-pao are made of.

Although this style is quite different from usual Lolita styles, modesty is still a large part of this style, and your skirt should be a reasonable length for lolita. Sadly a lot of Wa Lolita outfits on the market today have very short skirts, causing many people to be turned-off by Wa Lolita.

Traditional Japanese Kanzashi or flower hairclips may work lovely with this style in the place of a Lolita head-dress. Make-up can range from light and natural to Japanese geisha inspired. It's best not to do makeup very similarly to that of a geisha as it will most likely end up

Until next time
