Is fashion outside of Lolita worth the $$$ any more?
After getting into Lolita, I can no longer warrant spending $300-$500 on simple dresses like I used to. Lolita has often much more time and effort put into it, and typically for a much lower price. As much as I like these clothes, I just don't have the heart any more to spend so much money on a simple one-layered, non-print dress, even if they might be fashionable and unique. Lolita has changed my view on buying clothes far too much, I think.
$469
$259 for the shirt on the right
$319
$439
Right before I got into Lolita I bought this simple one-layer tunic dress for $290. It is really lovely, and you probably can't tell from this photo, but the sleeves are chiffon and the collar and cuffs are white lace over pink. I've been disappointed with it since for having spent so much money on it. There's really not much more to it than what you can see here, the collar doesn't even continue onto the back, it just cuts off at the shoulder seams.
Do many of you feel much the same? Or you don't bother too much with other fashion styles outside of Lolita? I know a lot of you wouldn't fathom spending so much on clothes of any form, but for those who do still keep up with the fashion world, do you still see the value in these after spending half as much on a detailed Lolita dress?
