Black and white dosent always = ita
It seems to me that a lot of new lolitas (or at least 7 years ago when i first started out lol) tend to go for black and white, get horrible scarry black and white lace monsters, and suck.
I think ita is commonly associated with black and white because there are just soooo many black and white tacky/ita/ebay/lace monsters out there. But honestly the black and white colorway is so beautiful! But maybe its just because I've always been in love with what is now refered to as old-school lolita.
My tip for beginers who like me are inlove with the black and white color scheme, may I suggest secondhand older baby pieces? You can get them as cheap as $50 for a black cutsew dress with white lace details, or even one of their many empire waist jsks that they always seem to re-release
Baby is such a lovely brand and their plainer pieces seem to go really cheap second hand, and they are really cute! Paired with some cute cheap secret shop or bodyline shoes and some black, white, or even diamond patterned knee socks, otk socks, or tights leaves you with a stunning outfit for cheap! :] And dont forget a hair accessory which can also be found for cheap second hand, or at a claire's, or any offbrand lolita shop or mainstream store, or even hand made!
Heck you dont even have to be a noob! I've been into lolita for 7 years, getting close to 8, and I
still do this! Nothing wrong with budget lolita! :D
Anyways this silly/stupid rant begun to form in my head because I knoticed even though i have a few sweet prints here and there, almost everything is black, white, or both! 8D And as it is summer noob madness time I also see a lot of black and white outfits. Some good some bad...and im tired of people saying that black and white is ita. Not all black and wbite is created equaly! ;]
Actually, i think now im in the mood to update my wishlist with some moe good ole fashion old-school and old-school looking meta and baby! I really wish angelic pretty stuck to their roots more. Or at least released stuff that was similar to their old stuff! Ahhh...but i suppose it dosent hurt to dream~
