I'm quite new to the fashion, I've only seriously been into it for about 6 months now, wearing for four. In that time though, I've spent a good majority of my free time lurking the various active online communities, primarily /cgl/, as it is the most active.
I love sweet, but in darker/more neutral color ways. I have yet to try classic, but I have a handmade skirt in my closet waiting to be coorded. At the moment, since I am still fresh to the fashion, my favorite brand would have to be Baby, but I absolutely adore AP's more toned down pieces. I love to sew my own clothes, so I have a few pieces that I dream about making a reality.
Aside from Lolita, I love sewing, crocheting, knitting, and other crafty pursuits. I also enjoy drawing, watching girly anime (Sailor Moon is a fave), and playing video games.
ETA: Nerdery and interests aside, I forgot to mention some basic facts about myself. My name's Erin, I'm 26, live with my husband and 1 dog, 2 cats, and 2 ferrets in a 2 bedroom apartment in Florida. After graduation from college with degrees in Art Education and Studio Art I found employment at a childcare center where I work full time, and I have a part time job at a church nursery as well. I'd really like to meet and talk with some older lolitas!

Hello! I love sweet, but in darker tones as well. I've heard it called "Bitter Sweet" before. I love prints that include chocolates or coffee, things with really warm browns. ^_^

Yeah, I feel like those really warm browns are a nice way to tone down sweet styles so they look a little more mature. I don't have anything against pastels, but since I'm in my mid 20s, I feel I wear darker sweet a little better.
