Lavender is one of those colors that’s easy to provoke a synesthetic response – the soft, relaxing scent of lavender.  Just browsing these beautiful, softly ruffly ‘casual princess’ clothing pieces is like aromatherapy~

All of these come from the TaoBao brand Candy Rain, and are listed by LoliLoli Shop for Lolita Princess!

Soft Chiffon Princess Overlay Lavender Skirt

Ahhh, lately I have been trying to look up what that draping ‘princess bustle’
is called by name, and can’t seem to find it!
There are definitely some sewing projects I want to do that include it. c:

–

Soft White Chiffon Overlay Lavender Blouse with Big Bow

That’s a BIG!!!  BOW!!!

White & Lavender Sailor Collar with Candy Rain Embroidery Blouse

I love when bow tails are cut like that!!
This is a perfectly nautical-themed top to go with that mermaid skirt~

–

Soft Floral Chiffon Ruffle Skirt (Lavender or Pink)

Have I featured this skirt already? oAo
OH GOSH I DON’T KNOW!!
It’s so beautiful, like soft flower petals~
Really, it couldn’t hurt to cover it twice, could it?
Edit:  Oops, I also told a little lie in the intro. nn;
This skirt is from BoBon21, not Candy Rain~

I don’t really have a theme for today’s selection of features, these are just some miscellaneous cute tops, skirts, and dresses!

Pretty Heart-Shaped Keyhole Top

This is!!  So pretty!!!
I have been seeing this top a lot in a lot of bloggers’ outfit posts.
I’d really love to have it myself!!

or just to crawl the mall or lounge around at home.

for added dreaminess!

Cute White/Navy Sailor Tie Blouse

A cute variation of the sailor/seifuku blouse theme!

–

Galaxy Seifuku Top Dress

Speaking of sailor tops, look at this galactic interpretation of the classic sailor collar!
These designs decorated with long tails or cutesy wing shapes
remind me of something that would be a part of a magical girl’s uniform!

Yay! \(^o^)/  Here is a selection of soft and pretty styles, typical of my fave TaoBao brand Candy Rain~  Lots of top + skirt sets in this feature!

Sky Blue Plaid Off-the-Shoulder Rosy Ruffle Top

Ahhh!!  The ruffle across the shoulders is SHAPED LIKE ROSES!!
Gosh, this light Cinderella-blue is so gorgeous.
I’m seriously in love with this so much.

I really fell in love with the hairstyle the model is wearing, haha///

–

Short Puff Sleeve Keyhole Shoulder Hoodie Jacket

This listing is for the jacket!
Sometimes I like to cover up with a jacket layer even when it’s warm out,

Offwhite Cream & Lace Long Classic Lolita Skirt

And after featuring all of those fun prints,
here is something that is simply elegant~
Soft ruffles in this creamy color always makes me think
of buttercream icing on a cake!

As I’m sure you’ve discovered for yourself already, searching for “Lolita” in many marketplaces brings up many un-Lolita clothing items.  On Aliexpress in particular, the Lolita keyword often brings up the Candy Rain and other gyaru items that I feature frequently.

HOWEVER!!  One of the sellers in my Favorite Aliexpress Stores guide, PRO-G Deal, recently began listing ACTUAL Lolita skirts, and even a few JSK’s!!  Let’s look at some of them!

Pink Cinderella Lolita Skirt

Pink and white prints will always be so dear to me!
The print around the border of this skirt depicts Cinderella themes!

–

Magical Star Midnight Skyline Lolita Skirt

This just looks magical and pretty!
It’s snowing beautiful stars!

–

The thick, fuzzy fabric of this skirt
looks like it will keep you happily warm in Winter!!

–

Deer Forest Lolita Skirt

This looks mystical, like a magical wood that a fairy tale
would take place in, filled with tranquil deer~

–

Moe Anime Maid Girl Lolita Skirt

Okay, I will be the first person to admit that this is goofy as heck.
Generic moe anime maid girls are a bit removed from Lolita’s aesthetic.
But GOSH do I love cheesy.  I actually love this.
It’s stupid and wonderful and channels *my* inner moe maid wishes, LOL.
