coord concept: throw on as much black raschel lace as I own





I'm very proud of myself, I finally got round to making a black raschel lace headdress, with this coord being the last bit of motivation I needed to get me moving. I've been meaning to make one for months but been too lazy, and too cheap to just add one onto a Mercari order because I'd always think to myself how easy it would be to make one for myself.

the weather turned out to be far hotter than I expected so I only wore it for a short time before getting changed into a comfy (and kinda ugly tbh) putu coord

coord rundown:
headdress: handmade
blouse, socks and bloomers: metamorphose
cape: bodyline
skirt and bustier: marble
shoes: tokyo bopper

(is it the thing to do to list bloomers in your coord rundown? idk. I guess if they're peeking like mine are then it's ok)

hi! so recently I've been working on a 7 coords 10 items challenge and I've finally got it finished ^^

I stuck with a bxw colour scheme, plus one floral piece, so they could all be mixed and matched easily

I chose an apron and a bustier because they're my go-to layering pieces. ( Read more... )

I had fun wearing this coord two days ago, with a new bustier from my recent order. I had to cut out the panel behind the lacing to make it fit over my bust and I don't regret it at all. I also re-laced it the way you would a corset, and it now fits beautifully. never feel bad about altering brand; they're your clothes and you deserve to have them fit you

anyway, I find it oddly satisfying to match brands so I paired my heart e blouse and skirt, then threw on my favourite blackxwhite headdress to tie in the colour scheme. I know I wear this headdress with every other coord and I suppose to some people it might be boring but I don't owe anyone originality ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'm still thinking about making a haul post but it would involve taking a lot of photos I really can't be bothered taking so I'm not sure if it will ever happen. let me know if you do want one though and maybe that will motivate me to do it, who knows?

just another cute casual coord from the other day ^^

I recently realised that I've never taken photos in this dress, despite wearing it almost constantly. From the Chinese indie brand Boguta, it was actually my very first lolita purchase. It is a light, summery cotton karami fabric, and it's held up well to four years of wear, although the original buttons have broken.

I'd been planning to wear this dress so that was my starting point. I often come to a coord with an item or combination of items already in mind, even if it's something as small as an accessory or piece of jewelry. I considered various blouses but decided they'd be too hot and went for this crocheted cutsew I'd made two years ago and have barely worn since.

I skipped a petti due to the heat, so combined with the longer silhouette and the lack of a traditional blouse I wanted the rest of my coord to look more stereotypically lolita. When I break the "rules" I tend to balance it out with some pieces that are distinctly lolita to keep the coord straying too far. My favourite ways to do this include parasols, bags, shoes and hairstyles and I find that this way you can skip things like headdresses, petticoats and blouses (though probably not all at the same time), while still maintaining a recognisable lolita coord. Or maybe I'm just ita idk :p

anyway, to get back to the point, for this coord I added one of my favourite headdresses, did my signature (translation; lazy go-to) twin bun hairstyle, and went with white pieces for the rest to keep the colour scheme simple. I used an embroidered ex-potpourri sachet requisitioned as a coin pouch when I'd gone into town for errands and it matched nicely so I decided to add that. I then managed to get one decent photo before the march flies attacked too vigorously and I ran back inside.

and that's it! it was just a simple coord but I liked it and I wanted to give this dress the love it deserves ♡♡♡

I wanted to write a goodbye post for this Miho Matsuda jsk so here it is (╥︵╥)
