My list of things every lolita should have is a bit... out of the norm. Instead of focusing on main pieces that lolitas need to fill out their wardrobes, I kept my list to the little things people may not even think about.
First up on my list is sunglasses. It's no secret that I love sunglasses, partially because I'm grossly photosensitive, but mostly because they're a great accessory that's really underrated. There has been a recent surge in styles sunglasses are being made in, from the simple to the OOT, so there's definitely a pair out there for every lolita's personal style. Lapin Chocolat did a post on cute loliable sunglasses that you can find here.
My next two items are things that you can't actually wear, but are great to have on hand anyway. A tube of E-6000 glue can make a real difference when the soles of your cute shoes start to peel away from the upper, saving you tons of money, and jewelry pliers will save the day when the findings of your favourite jewelry start to warp.
Two-way clips come in fourth on my list for sheer versatility. Wear them in your hair, wear them on your clothes, wear them clipped to your bag or your shoes; the possibilities are endless when you have both an alligator clip and a pin back.
Lastly, I think every lolita should have a handful of handkerchiefs. Mythbusters may have proven that handkerchiefs are actually really grossly unsanitary for blowing your nose, but they have tons of other uses. From dabbing the sweat away from your brow in the summer, to covering your lap to keep snack crumbs off your burando, to wiping off bus seats of anything icky, a handkerchief in your bag can go a long way to keeping you and your lolita neat and tidy.
