Bibliotheca: Cycles

Some weirdo who calls themself frillSquid made the suggestion of cycles for Bibliotheca's January/February theme, so now I have to follow through. It's far too late to go with New Year's or Groundhog Day as a central point of the post, so I'm going with something that I think about frequently: trends. 

The Ingredients of Sweet

Sugar, spice, and everything nice: these are what belated Bibliotheca themes are made of. 

The idea of sugar, for a lolita, inevitably brings to mind the sweet substyle. I am allegedly sweet-challenged: my coordinates, though sometimes sweet by my standards, never quite meet the expectations of the true-blue sweet lolitas in my comm. So why not create a working definition? This way, I can grade myself on sweetness and see where my performance needs improvement.
