There are various lolita quiz’s going around on the internet, but I thought this one was quite appropriate for the end of the year to “level up”. The original one was posted by parfait doll and then recently upgraded to 2.0 by f year lolita. If you would also like to give it a go, please head over to the f year lolita website for the original post.
The rules are simple, you get a point for every one of these things that you can say you’ve done, add the points up at the end, and you have your score! For the purpose of this quiz the term “brand” is open to your own consideration. If you consider Bodyline as a brand, or don’t consider anything that wasn’t designed by Mana himself as brand, that’s up to you. Questions are broken up into groups of 16 to make counting your points easier!

81-100 points is at the top of the Lolita game. You’ve definitely been active in the fashion for a number of years, or possibly you’ve had a very intense first few years. You’ve gone out there and had the chance to do some pretty cool things that you always dreamed of doing back when you first got started as a Lolita. There’s a good chance you’re a leader in both your local Lolita communities and the online Lolita-sphere. Your next step is probably to kick a few more things off your Lolita bucket list!
WOO Top of my game! It is true that I have done quite a few things that I wanted to do when I first became a lolita, I have gone to Japan and shopped in brand stores, gone crazy in closet-child, attended a brand tea party and fashion show (always a highlight) I am a moderator for a online community… scarily accurate! If you want to find out where you rate in the mix, the blog post again is here.
Thanks to parfait doll for doing the original quiz and F yeah lolita for updating it!
