Summer Gothic Lolita & "Rulebreaking"

Summer Gothic is often unexplored. Why? Probably because of all the 'rules' people have to break in order to not overheat. So some people simply stop wearing the fashion when summer comes along. But I say NAY! Gothic Lolita lives in the heart, the fashion must continue! But suffering in sweaty, hot clothes is not necessary. So let's explore some "rulebreaking" summer fashion: sandals, exposed arms, lack of hair accessories, no petticoat, short lengths, and more!
