September's theme is...

work/school

September is the time for school and those of us that work it’s just another month on the job. So this month we’ll celebrate lolitas at work and school. What things do you do to lolitify your school/work space? Do you deco your binders? Have a locker that could double as a page in the G&LBs? Is your cubical a ( Read more... )

For a while, I've kind of felt like I was on the edges of the lolita community because I don't get very many chances to wear lolita. I have a full-time office job that requires at least business casual, which meant that I pulled my suits and matching skirt and blouse sets out from the back of my closet and put my lolita in the back instead ( Read more... )

I personally work in an electronic retailer and have done so for about two and a half years. It's not a great job but at least it's something better than unemployment. I've been thinking about what career path I can take for too long and I still haven't decided ( Read more... )

Next year I will begin graduate school, and I am debating whether I should avoid wearing Lolita to school once I reach that level of education. I'm concerned that because graduate school is the final level of schooling and the one which is most relevant to preparing people for a career, there will be more of an expectation on the part of the ( Read more... )

This has been a concern of mine since I graduated with my B.A. and started looking for a "real" job. For my final goal in this field, which would be something involving psychological counseling, I would pretty much have to leave it altogether ;___; If I run into a client or a parent of a client (if I'm working with kids) dressed in lolita or ( Read more... )

First up, this is NOT a "how can I be more Loli at work" post. I know that has been done to death, and that's not my question. I'm really more curious about people who have "career" type jobs. Jobs that are a 9-5ish, where you are working full time, on a career path, and must, absolutely MUST wear a conservative suit. I am starting to look for jobs ( Read more... )

A lot of us wonder how we're gonna make our lolita wardrobes to work for our jobs... and then we find how this doesn't work very well with the food industry... so the answer was to make the place sweeter, cuter than ever before, while finding a uniform alternative to an OP that may not flatter everybody...

Also, apron from skirt tutorial ahoy!!( Click here for Ice Cream!! )

Well I don't know about everyone else, but I had the same day on lolita day I have every Saturday.  I had to work.  D:  However, my work has uniforms and I had to adhere to that.  That didn't mean that I couldn't accessorize!  XD  I'm curious what other loli's did if they had to work, especially those who are forced to wear a company shirt with ( Read more... )

Will the Lolita who asked for me at my work (Pop's) after dropping off shoes for Graduation, please stand up?

>:3 How'd you figure me out? You talked to my manager! I wonder if you even participate on EGL.

;_; I thought I'd try.

(I'll delete if this isn't allowed)

So, I'm just curious as I've been job hunting lately, and while I have a job already pretty much lined up, I will again be looking later in the year as I'm moving back to Austin. This got me thinking...what kind of jobs do you think one could get that would have an environment where it was suitable to wear Lolita ( Read more... )
