52 Weeks of Lolita ~ What do you think constitutes Lolita etiquette or good manners?

 Hello my little shortcakes! :3

I'm back on my blog today because I felt like I haven't written a prompt from this challenge in a whiiiile! XD; I've been missing blogging more regularly so I hope you enjoy my written content also! ^w^ The subject for today will be...

What do you think constitutes Lolita etiquette or good manners?

I think that this is something very personal to each and every Lolita! I'm going to try and share some that are the most important to me or that I try to preach personally! :3

Do your best to keep your underwear (bloomers, petticoat) hidden, have a nice posture, try not to slouch!

I know it's not easy for everyone to do for multiple reasons... But in formal situations, especially during meetups and when you take pictures I think that you should try to keep your underwear hidden and have a nice posture. It will help your clothes look suit you better and it will definitely look more elegant! ^^; Sometimes accidents happen *thank you, windy days* but when in Lolita I always try to keep my legs together or at least make sure that we don't see my bloomers or petticoat when I sit down! :3

Do not critique outfits, except when asked!

As goes the saying; if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all! And if someone asks for critiques on their coords or how to improve I always try to point out the things they do right instead of only pointing out their mistakes! Sometimes it can be hard to get a grasp on the fashion at first and it's easy to get discouraged because of that... So I think it's important to also celebrate the good points instead of just bringing up what isn't quite right yet! ~

Always try to be friendly to other Lolitas and especially newcomers!

You never know how far someone is on their Lolita journey or how they discovered the fashion! I think it's important to make everyone feel welcome and at home in your community, especially when it comes to local communities. Give everyone their chances to learn and if you have experience in Lolita fashion I think that you should try your best to be a great ressource for our little sisters/siblings! ^w^

On the same train of thoughts...

Try your best to be kind to strangers when going out in Lolita!

I'm always trying my best to be polite with strangers that asks questions about my style, our Lolita community or kindly ask me for pictures... But my kindness drop when their respect do! XD; If people are polite with me, I'm going to be polite with them... Otherwise they are going to get my death glare and nobody wants that isn't it? ^w^''

I think that is all I can think of at the moment! :3

Do you have any other in mind? ~ Please tell me about them in the comments, I would love to hear your thoughts on the subject! ^w^

Until next time my little shortcakes, stay safe and take care! <3
