In fashion, the girly woman masters the art to meld childlike femininity with imagination. Short dresses with funny bows, applications in form of flowers, animals, and caricatures, as well as all possible creative accessories will make her quickly happy.

8. “Innocent” Ballet Flats


There is a footwear that can be considered as the absolute must-have for every Lolita look: ballet flats! However, these comfortable, elegant-looking flats should have a special feature: if their tips are not slightly rounded, they should definitely impress with delicate, girlish details such as straps, buttons, bows, cut-outs or strass elements!





9. Fanciful Bags


To match your beautiful ballet flats, the bag that best embodies the idea of the Lolita look should catch the eye with playful details. Ingenuity is absolutely essential here! Whether leather, raffia, pearls, rhinestones, acrylic, or various textiles in unusual shapes and colors, are ideal for bags that give the playful spirit of this girly style a very unique touch.






10. Playful Hair Accessories


The ideal Lolita look comes to perfection with a certain element: hair accessories! Beautifully decorated, with pearls, brilliants, bows, made of delicate, feminine fabrics such as velvet, silk, satin, or fine cotton, with flower prints or just plain, hair bands and barrettes with a girlish flair are absolutely essential for this youthful style.





11. Cheerful Earrings


Earrings with imaginative designs express best the essence of the Lolita flair: fruits, flowers, animals, hearts, stars, tears and allegories of all kinds find a wonderful place in the jewelry box of the woman with a joyful, girlish spirit. Well chosen, these designs combine a refined, elegant flair with a delicate, innocent touch.




12. Fruity Lips


The Lolita beauty look is not exactly known for a sophisticated make-up. It rather radiates a youthful freshness, that can remind of the warm nuances of ripe fruit. The lip gloss remains indispensable for this effect! It is best to choose it in a shiny berry hue, if you want to give your style a beautiful girlish note.





13. Fruity Floral Scents!
