I agree with you there. It doesn't say Loli to me either, but you could probably customise it to suit more of a lolita style. But even then, it wouldn't be exactly lolita.

Lolita started as a very DIY fashion and I'd love to be able to say that I disagree, but unfortunately I can't. It seems now that you do get judged if you go out wearing an old print or something that cost a little less... I really wish that that wasn't the case...
When you find something precious, you have to hold on to it with all your might and never let it go, whatever else you may lose. After all, there are lots of people who die without ever finding something that’s really precious to them
