Does art and Loli mix?

Well for the past two weeks I've been going to University to study art and each time I'm there I'm wearing full Lolita.

Now I've been doing art fully for several years now and only every got paint on myself once. I just happen to be wearing brand new trousers from Next at the time and the paint was Acrylic which most of you artist out there know is a right pain to get out of clothes.
Mind you, I have had careless class mates who had thought it was smart to leave globs of paint on the floor which me and others have stepped in. Mind you they were younger than me and still in their teens. So more self centered on how they viewed the world. Before someone rips me a new one, they would agree with this view.

I'm in a more adult filled class 23+ more of them are between 30-40 so you understand that the atmosphere is considerably different. I do feel slightly out of place as there is only 2 of us that dress more, how do you say not dressed to do the dirty work. Now don't get me wrong, I'm more than happy to walk in their with jeans and games T-shirt on any time but I feel more withdrawn with that look and not wanting to interact with others. While Lolita makes me feel as if I more complete and more willing to get to know people.

Now I should probably not wear my bodyline replica Fruit Parlor skirt, as they don't make it with the lovely lace trim any more. Oh yeah, I love that trim. Then again a simple frilly apron would probably suit and protect the clothes much more easily for those just in case moments.

Now paint is easily sorted with the apron but what about those hand on materials that are more dusty: Chalk, Pastel, Charcoal. Now these are washable but that doesn't mean they aren't the most messiest.
They get every where, before you know it they are on your face and you have no knowledge about how they got there in the first place.
Now lets face it the only way to keep your hands clean is to wear gloves, this way you would take them off before pushing back that loose stray of hair or nudge it back with the back of the wrist. Since you are more aware of the gloves on your hand.

These are simple things but then again, it is dependant on each person and how they handle a brush and such.
I know I will risk my non-brand with my art class. I have no idea what the future will hold when it comes to brand. Knowing me I'll try wearing it with art.
