What I'm basically saying is, it's not about what the style looks like. It's about HOW you wear it. If you wear what you wear confidently, then you'll be fine. If you walk around looking insecure in what you're wearing, you're going to get crap from people.

Hmm, I semi-agree. Sometimes you can't help getting abuse from ignorant people no matter how you carry yourself. To be frank, if I wore something like sweet lolita and walked around outside, I would probably get my head kicked in regardless of anything else.
Ignorant people don't really care how you carry yourself. They just look at you, think you 'look funny,' and take it as a reason to hurl abuse at you.
It's a lot easier to avoid trouble if you are with other people who dress in the same style, but when alone people think you are an easy target. It also depends on the setting, the area, the popularity of the style etc. Around here, gothic lolita maybe you could get away with if it's casual, people will just assume it's goth [though still expect problems with THAT] - but ganguro/decora/sweet lolita - good luck to you.
