You can pretty much stop looking. This particular pink skews slightly peach or salmon, very few lolita brands use it, and even when they do it’s inevitably some other shade of peach. And trying to do a pastel pink x peach pink coord when the skirt’s pink is obviously a different undertone than every other pink in the coord is going to make the skirt stick out like a sore thumb as the one thing that doesn’t match.

Ironically enough, normie brands use this kind of pink far more often, so if you stubbornly want to find matching things, your best bet is to actually head down your local department store with the skirt in hand, you run a fairly good chance of finding something that matches. If you get just a matching headbow and matching shoes, you can probably add an ivory lolita blouse, some accessories and still end up with a fairly lolita-ish coord.

As an alternative, I’d advise that you chose another colour to focus on — wine, red or brown are good colours to focus on. Sprinkle in some ivory or white, throw in some themed brooches and hairpins, and it’s a decent colour scheme. Just watch out for the colours — brown is probably fine with some slight mismatch, but if you’re doing red x ivory with the skirt, try to make sure all the items are red and not wine (and vice versa) — wine usually has a colder purple undertone that clashes with red.

For the blouse, if you want breathable for summer, I’d suggest cutsews instead. If you’re doing casual lolita, a camisole + bolero combination also works (just make sure you use a suitably girly, frilly camisole together with a lolita bolero), although this might be slightly too casual depending on what your meetup is (it’s usually fine for a picnic, but a bit too toned down for a sit-down tea service). If the bottom of the cutsew doesn’t have a nice frill though, you can add a wide belt or waist cincher so that the shirred waistband is not visible.
