posting some from a facebook contest to get things rolling

>>6557621
Just for reference, old thread

>>6573103
Wow. That is insanely too much.

The thing Coco said? Remove one thing before leaving the house? This one needs to remove 4-6 things.

>>6573163
Yea. I wouldn't wear everything at one. Maybe it's more of a variety map kinda thing? Like, things that work well with it.


Let it be known that I don't particularly care for most of the shoes in these.

>>6573114
Where are those tights from?! I saw someone on Codenote wearing them and I want.

Why do I feel like this thread is a giant advertisement for lady sloth

>>6573249
because these were from a facebook contest for Lady Sloth and I'm trying to contribute something other than the usual CollageAnon stuff

>>6573206
>modcloth.com/shop/tights/pastel-pedalsights

>>6573249
She had a giant competition with a shit load of nice collages. It's not that weird for someone to be posting them from the giant sea of collages that were sent in. Hide the thread if you dislike her dresses.

>>6572987
that shit looks gross

Gonna go ahead and break the lady sloth theme. Sorry if this is ita as fuck. Also, opinions on cat ears with a cat themed outfit?

>>6573424
Oh shit I just remembered I'm not on my own computer. I should stop getting high before going on cgl.

>>6573430
love you bb

reposting stuff i've pulled from the past, sorry if you've seen it before

love this western coord

anyone got any ideas for this?

>>6573440

>>6573466
Damn, I just admire lolita, never thought much of buying it because of cost and just I'd feel embaressed wearing a lot of it out and around on a day to day thing and I'm not a meetup person.

But now I'm reconsidering because I would wear the hell out of these cords.

>>6573468
I would say a chiffon blouse, for sure, and colorful but tasteful (so not cheapo kiddy rainbow) accessories to play up the print. Maybe some tinted glass jewelry. Like pic related.

>>6573479
Disregard haters. Acquire Frills.

>>6573468
A plum colored chiffon blouse, plum tights or something, and gold shoes.

>>6573468
colored man made pearls would suit it. go look for them in small jewelry stores, not like zales or those types of places, and maybe around the fine jewelry section in malls. just look to make sure they have small knots separating each pearl. i've found that the bad kind of cheap pearl jewelry doesn't.

>>6573499
Highly considering it now.

I do go to an art school. I've seen weirder things around campus and those are all so classy...

... what the hell. I got some spare cash from a work bonus. Guess I'm going to get me some frills. Slowly but surely since I'll have to save for good stuff.

>>6573499
...what? is this the high anon?

>>6573513
Anon I'm not the only lolita at my art school so I'm sure you won't be alone either. Go for it!

>>6573519
OH GOD NEVER MIND I GET IT NOW

>Don't listen to what they say, fuck bitches, and get some lolita

>>6573525
It's ok anon. It's late.

>>6573544
thank you, how embarrassing, I am probably just going to step away from the computer

night seagulls

>ohgod

>>6573524
I'm going to go for it, I just need to figure out where the items in those cords are from and see if I can find them/ others like them. And start building a style.

I'm pumped now man.

>>6573553
Well, it helps to specify which one you had your eye on. Perhaps kind people will direct you the right way.

>>6573578
This >>6573452 is the one I mainly had my eye on. I see the innocent world stuff is labeled but it's the shoes I'm wondering about.
And the skirt in >>6573446? Obviously I'm a bit new and feel bad I dont recognize it. I'd assume it's innocent world but I dont see the label on that part of the picture.

>>6573588
hmn. wish I could help. I'm pretty sure CA did both of these. maybe try asking her?

>collageanon.tumblr.com/

>>6573604
Thanks I'll try there : )

>>6573617

I'm pretty sure the majority of her shoes come from modcloth but yea you can always ask

>>6573588
The skirt in the second one is from Bodyline, I'm pretty sure. I've had my eye on it too!

So another question... in general I know lolita clothes tend to be small. I'm fairly sure based on a few measurements I've seen around that my waist and hips will fit fine. But is a C (or D depending on the brand) bust too big for most of the brand blouses? Again I hate to ask new questions but I honestly dont know.

>>6573644
Thanks! I'll check out their shoes.

>>6573663
Thank you! And yeah it's cute : )

>>6573667
Measurements in lolita go by the actual bust measurement, not cup+band measurements. So you'll definitely need to measure your bust (and waist) with a measuring tape, most helpfully in cm, and keep those in mind to figure out what you fit.

>>6573674
>>6573674
Thanks! I think that covers my questions, I'll have to find a measuring tape and hope I fit.
I keep major tabs on my weight an fitness already, but not much one can really do about having a bust too large (besides try and lose more weight I suppose)

>>6573684
Yeah, for large busts I've read it's better to get custom sized blouses or to buy offbrand blouses from western brands that are loliable, and wear skirts with them. Unfortunately many brand items don't fit large busts very well (although there is brand that will fit, plus custom sizing on taobao).

If most of your size is in breast tissue and not your ribcage, you can try to bind your breasts to fit smaller items as well.

>>6573693
I might have to try the binding but hopefully I wont have to. Otherwise off brand is still a good choice.

>>6573701
>>6573693
I wouldn't really recommend binding or trying to stuff yourself into brand because then you get that really awkward boob loaf thing going on. I'm a 36D and I can fit into most brand fairly easily--shirring helps, as does the simple fact that many lolita brands are beginning to cater more toward western brands.

>>6573163
Actually I feel like once all those things were on, it wouldn't be too much apart from trying to hold a parasol and a fan. Lolita is pretty much a full-accessories fashion, and some of the smaller things like the rings/earrings/brooch wouldn't really be noticed too much. However, for me the bag doesn't really go.

>>6573424

>>6573430
I thought I was the only one who did that *tears of joy*
sage for not posting a coord

Can someone coord this skirt for me please? I am in love with the style and the material but now that I have it, I am not sure how to coordinate this color. I dont like the way that JetJ presents it, that white blouse looks frumpy and out of place. And considering how I have an hourglass figure, normal blouses would look bad with that skirt and my big bust.
http://lolibrary.org/node/4927

Any help much appreciated

>>6575232
I'm too lazy to shoop, but I'd probably pair that with a simple long-sleeved pussy bow blouse in a chiffon type fabric. Not sure how those work on your figure, but that's the first thing that came to mind when I saw the skirt (which is gorgeous btw).

>>6575232
Round/square/scoop neck blouse, preferably chiffon with bishop sleeves. Since it's a high waisted skirt you could probably go with it a little loose in the bust to accentuate the hourglass.

>>6575163
I love you anon, be my stoner lolita bestie plz

TO THE FRONT PAGE WITH YOU COORD THREAD!

>>6575232
I agree that a normal lolita blouse will look odd - high waists tend to make big busts look bigger, and so do high collared blouses. A slightly lower neckline would probably work much better for you.

I also like the idea of pairing it with pastels or muted colours, mint green/pink/lilac/sax or dusky pink/rose are the ones that spring to mind immediately. Navy would also be nice.

>>6576342
None of these are lolita blouses.. are you new here?

>>6576394
That's the whole point. She doesn't want a normal blouse, and most of the lolita styles won't suit the skirt.

>>6573285

Do you think corsets like this will look so awkward on short girls (I am 150 cm) with small boobs and short legs? From the coord, I notice that it tends to elongate your torso and make your legs look shorter.

>>6577152
Diff anon, but I own that corset! I'm short with small boobs, as well, I have a long torso already, but I think it actually works out? I guess since it fits my torso without sitting too low on the hips, iunno.

Took out all the hot pink

>>6578624
Sauce on that kitten text necklace?

>>6579161
It's from this seller, but it looks like she's not selling them now? Which is odd, I got the picture from her etsy literally a day ago.
http://www.etsy.com/shop/imyourpresent

>>6577152
>>6577435

Where's this corset from?

>>6579200
haha, hivemind

>>6577152
>>6577435
Source on the corset?

>>6579200
>>6579216
Millefleurs.

>>6579161
>>6579183
Though they have a lot of similar ones on etsy! Just search for kitten acrylic necklace

>>6573693
I have a 33" ribcage and a 38" bust, can you recommend a taobao store or plus-sized brand that may fit me? Binding is out of the question, it restricts my breathing too much.

>>6579379
I don't know about specific measurements, but Maxcimam and Chantilly cater to plus size.

>>6572526
Can anyone help me co-ord this skirt?! That red sparkly detail on the bottom reeeally throws me. I know it's ita but I'm trying to make it work in punk.

>>6579438
Atelier Pierrot (many of their shirred corset items go up to ~39" bust, check on the Tokyo Rebel website as they have better measurements), fully shirred Baby will be totally fine on 38" bust, Dangerous Nude (their items are really short though), Metamorphose fully shirred and back-shirred items...With those measurements you will be fine in most full back shirring/full shirring items.

>>6579379
>rib "cage"
>not rib fat
>2012+1

>>6579807
Oh, totally. The bone itself is only 28.5" or around that (measured when I was anorexic.) The 33" is definitely fat haha

>>6579438
Thank you! I've seen some of Chantilly's dresses and socks that are gorgeous never thought to look at their blouses for some reason.

>>6579801
Thanks so much! That's a lot of good info.

>>6573588
Hi there! The skirt is indeed from Bodyline. If I remember correctly, the shoes are from Seychelles.

Tried making a decent punk loli coord. I hate the mentality that punk=plaid. Thoughts?

>>6580630
It seems like there are too many different redxblue striped patterns. The union jack doesn't really go very well with the skirt, same with the ring. It sounds like a fun idea though. It just is a bit too cluttery.

>>6580630
The tights are a bit much I agree, but I love this idea!

>>6580630
I couldn't see any kind of punk wearing those shoes. Perhaps some kind of black boot?

>>6580630
I like the Union Jack bag, but I think use black tights or something. Other than that, gorgeous. Love the choice of skirt.

>>6580678
Rocking horse shoes were originally worn by British punks.

>>6580694
Really? Are there pics? I'm curious as to what normal punk outfits look like with them!

>>6580643
>>6580655
>>6580690
Thanks! I thought the clashing patterns might add to the whole punk theme, but now that I look at it again later, it does seem like a bit much.

>>6580734
The style is so closely associated with lolita that it's hard to find pictures of the shoes worn in non-lolita outfits, but I did manage to dig up some marketing photos.

>>6580807
I don't think it's really the patterns that are clashing, but more you have, like, 4 different blues in there. It wouldn't clash too much if the colours matched better.

I really like it, actually, and it feels more punk than most shit you see. Only part i don't like is the spiked headband. It just seems so tumblresque.

>>6581287

>>6581290

>>6581294

>>6581297
And here's Vivienne herself styling the famous shoes!

Just out of curiosity.
When coordinating how many colors do you put in max? 2 to 3, or more?

>>6581319
All the colors. Rainbow coord anyone?

>>6581319
It's recommended that you stick to 2 or 3 colors as it's easier to balance and work it through your whole outfit. If you're really good at coordinating colors into your outfit then you could get away with more.

>>6573468
Listen to this >>6573481 anon.

>>6573468
I'd really like to see something gothic/classic with this. Pull out one or two of the colors in the print with accessories, and stick to basic black for everything else. I'm not sure I'd recommend a blouse; I don't think the neckline and straps a suited for it. I picked out a jacket, but a bolero that clasps low on the torso would work as well.

>>6581512
Where is that bolero from?

>>6573468
I recently just received the skirt and it definitely calls for a chiffon blouse. I love that any jewel tones and gold can really set this piece off. I haven't done any proper coord with my skirt yet, but I whipped on a couple of things just to see how the skirt would look worn and I am in love with it. I'm wondering if I should review it, as haenuli only seems to have three reviews on EGL and all for her Sleeping Beauty. Is EGL even the best place to review her? I don't know of any communities that are review-specific, and I definitely go through reviews of shops/products/ect before buying.
Pic related, it's the skirt and wish I had a better photo.

>>6581730
How can I buy this skirt?
It looks so lovely on you. And it really fits in with my style!

>>6581747
Thank you! It really is a versatile piece so I'm looking forward to trying out different things with it.
Sadly, I don't believe you can buy it any more, as there was only a strict amount that could be made. I had a small look to see if I could buy the white colour way also, however it seems like there are no more order places available. My only advice would be to have a look at any sales pages to see if anyone receives an item that might not fit, especially if you are able to alter sizes at all. Here is the specific livejournal post about it: haenulishop dot livejournal dot com slash 4489 dot html

So I found this hat that I fell in love with at a thrift store. I still need to starch the bow and netting.

But I'd love to use this in a lolita coord. Any suggestions?

>>6581845
It made me think of this dress.

For general suggestions, it makes me think more of retro or otome inspired classic rather than sweet or gothic styles, matched with an A-line navy OP and boots in the same colour as the hat it could be quite awesome.

>>6581791
Thanks!

Would anyone mind helping me come up with ideas for a coord for this dress?

>>6581287
>>6581290
>>6581294
Oh I really like those! I love mens style shoes like that.
>>6581300
I definitely like the more boot style that Vivienne has on! I could see that one going with the punk style..not the mary jane style ones though.

>>6578624
Link for kitty ring?

Not sure if this belongs in the coord or lolita general but does anyone have any pictures of coords or lolitas wearing long coats or jackets in general? I think I will need to purchase a coat for winter and want some inspiration

>>6584076
not the one who posted that, but I think this might be it:
http://www.etsy.com/listing/97297610/whe-domestic-cat-head-ring-a0010-r-c15?

>>6582304
I recently did this for another anon - I'd suggest changing the blouse, but I think she already had it.

>>6582304
I realize I'm not breaking any new ground with this one, but I love the classy all-black look. I like the way the dress looks without a blouse, but I think a sheer white top would be very pretty.

>>6573468
I had another idea.

>>6581532
The jacket from the first one is from Excentrique.

I love these both! The ideas are wonderful, and gave me some delightful ideas. I took a bit from both, and came up with an idea of my own. Opinions and suggestions would be loved :)

>>6584208
Could I get the sauce for those the pearl items you have listed?

>>6584358
Sauce on the tights and hair accessory, please? I love the all black look, by the way. Very classic.


The blouse is black, by the way.

This may sound kinda silly, but seeing new outfits after I come home from work is one of my favorite things ever.

>>6578624
change socks to tights

>>6580630
i love the idea but id look for a tartan skirt or salopette and change the tights! otherwise im really impressed

Can I add something to this to make it less... boring?

>>6585169
Maybe boots instead of the shoes and a neat, military-styled patch/brooch?

>>6585169
Try throwing a pop of bright colour into it. Maybe a red bag, shoes and jewelery?

>>6585169
an interesting offbrand purse, i'd say.

>>6585169
Agree with >>6585354. Red looks really nice with sailor everything.

>>6584565
The tights are by Zohara, and the hairpiece is from Victorian Maiden. With a little crafty know-how, you could probably make your own hairpiece for under $20, though.

>>6585180
>>6585354
>>6585408

Great suggestions, thanks~! I have an event on February, so I might just wear it as it is, but I definitely want to try it with boots and red accessories.

>>6585391
I was actually thinking on making something similar to pic related, but I'm not sure if I will finish it on time or if its going to turn out lame (probably the case haha)

>>6575232
Not sure about this one, but I gave it a try.

>>6585072
The whole point was to stay away from tartan/ plaid, since people seem to think it's ~required~ for punk lolita.

>>6586546
Oops! My mistake.

>>6586270
OP here, thanks, I like the combination of gray wuth a bit of blue and that hind of pink

I just bought this dress. Any ideas for what to wear it with aside from black?

>>6588110
How about a dusty rose?

>>6588110
Wine/burgundy? A nice foresty green? Mustard yellow?

>>6588110
The bridge on that string instrument looks nothing like a real one and the strings don't slowly move closer as they get closer to the neck. Did the designer put in zero effort?

>>6588185

>>6588185
Well, there is a term called "poetic license". Not everything has to be literal.

>>6588185
That would make a shitty dress, do you even wear lolita?

>>6588110
Brown? It reminds me of this bag.

>>6588185

>>6588110
Seconding ideas for this dress, especially how to coord it for a taller person. My friend's not a lolita (yet, working on it..) but is a violinist and fell in love with it so I'm trying to help her figure out how to wear it.

got two - suggestions for better acessories for both?

>>6588914

I want to see an ero lolita coord done right

>>6593764
Even when it is done right, they keep it a secret. The ero coords don't get put into the lolita channels, the wearers know the shit they'll get for it.

I went to a meet with an ero goddess, she was ignored.

>>6593827
I still want to see one

I'd really love some help with this coord and some general feedback. Not sure about the socks, they're the mocha Royal Chocolate ones. I've got the ivory Royal Queen ones in the mail if these ones don't look so hot.

I'm really struggling with shoes. I was thinking of Bodyline's super basic patent heels in the brown, the ones with the little bow at the toe.

Apologies in advance for the terribad photo quality.

>>6594808

Here's a photo of the hair accessory, it's a barette.

>>6594808

Also, try to ignore creased blouse, I've just not gotten round to ironing it yet.

>>6594808

I actually love this coord, I like how you've used a couple of different items from APs chocolate serieses instead of just pairing it with everything chess choco. I also really like the mocha details, people tend to just pair everything cc with brown, so it's nice to see another colour combo.

I looked up the shoes you mentioned and if they're shoes274, I think the brown is the wrong shade.

>>6594922

Thank you so much! I was really worried the mocha would throw the whole thing off.

I keep going back and looking at them, but I can't find any reviews of that particular shoe, let alone in that colour, so I have no idea how true to colour the stock pic is.

>>6594808
i like it but that coat+jsk might make you look fat

>>6588110
I know this is a super-obvious purse choice, but I couldn't resist.

Bought this because it was 50% off, but I'm more of a goth so I'm not quite sure what to do with this magical concept called color. Any thoughts, anyone? All I can think of is white tights and maybe white or blue shoes.

Just bought this, I'd love to get some ideas for it. I got the short version, but there are no stock photos of it in this colourway.

>>6599710
>>6598741
These two dresses would look great in a pirate coord.

>>6598317
HNNNG that jacket

I need some bag help.
I'm trying to make my wardrobe as versatile and mix&match as I can, and I want a nice simple but reasonably roomy black bag that will go with as many gothic and classic coords as possible.
Does anyone have any advice? I'm pretty uninterested in purses in general and usually use homemade tote bags outside of lolita, so I'm having a tough time choosing a style. I like the AATP Vampire Requiem bag, but it's long sold out and probably hard to come by.

any suggestions for combining this?

>>6598741
Add a poofy sleeved offwhite blouse with a high collar to what you said and I think that's a simple but nice coord.

>>6599710
This is gorgeous... Also seconding pirate. Try a navy chiffon blouse?

>>6599721
>>6599972
Thanks for the suggestions, guys, I never thought of doing a pirate co-ord with it! I think I'm gonna have to wear a cardigan or something with it as well as a blouse because it's still pretty cold here, do you think I should go for a navy cardigan/bolero or a different colour?

Hard Mode: OTT Sweet coord using this yellow bodyline skirt, unlimited budget.

>>6593764
I tried? I dunno, something about chiffon and semi-sheer material has always seemed very sexy to me.

And yes I know that bustiers are not meant to be worn as tops, thank you peanut gallery.

>>6600245
thanks based god collage-anon

>>6600116
FUCK YOU, you knew that would be way harder than it looked.

>>6598741
I think your instinct towards white is a good one; sticking to a neutral is a great way to let a dress's details really stand out without getting bogged down by too many accessories. However, if you want to add some color to it, I think a dusty rose color would be beautiful. I also really like the blue shoes idea - I'm not nuts about these, but they were the only ones I found that were even close to the right color.

>>6600885
Forgot to add - I would look for a blouse with a low neckline, so it doesn't interfere with the neckline of the dress itself. You don't want your neck area to get too bulked up with conflicting silhouettes.

I'm just curious to see what you can come up with for this. Go as OTT with it as you'd like!

>>6600870
Yes, yes I did. Thank you, you are awesome.

>>6599858
get a plain black purse on taobao maybe?

>>6600903
overload with gold jewelry

>>6600903
Here's one I did a little while ago. I'm thinking it needs more of that neutral greyish-beige, in hindsight.

>>6601722
Do you think you could maybe do a collage with my dress? Including a cardigan/bolero if you can. I'm >>6599710

>>6601722
Perhaps a nice, burgundy color blouse would suit it nicely.

>>6599710
>>6601744
I really wanted to use a navy bolero with this, but I couldn't find one I liked. I tried it with a soft, dusty pink instead.

Suggestions for a creative coord with this? I'm having difficulty moving out of the "Oh, I have basic stuff I can wear and coordinate with things now." to "I can make interesting coordinates". Basically I've done the white/pink blouse, white/pink socks, headbow, jsk/skirt, shoes matching and I kind of want to try something different.

Either sweet, or toned down sweet for more casual wear would be awesome.

>>6603346

I think this could be really nicely coorded casually with some white tights, a little pair of pink heels, a pink cardigan, white blouse and a cute mint/sax (which colourway is that?) beret with a little cat pin on or something. Super simple and paired down, but still cute. I'd do a collage but opening more than one thing in GIMP makes my netbook throw a wobbly.

>>6603363
Thanks! I'll see if I can whip something up in Photoshop. It's Mint, but more on the blue side rather than green.

>>6600870
...if you put some lime green with this it would look like rainbow sherbet.

Just sayan

>>6603346
Not really breaking new ground with this one, but here's a casual take on the dress. I find pairing sweet items with mostly white is a good way to tone them down, then bring pops of color back in with accessories to spice it up.

Also, this is a reminder to submit requests and collages on the tumblr!

>>6604499
When are we getting married? Coord looks delicious

>>6603028
This is lovely, thank you so much! Where are the shoes/jewellery from?

>>6604522
The shoes are from Fluevog (quite pricey, brace yourself!) and the necklace and bracelet are from the 1928 Jewelry Company, which you can find on Amazon. Glad you like it!

>>6600245
This is a fucking hot ero coord. I fucking need all of it.

>>6600885
Not the anon you did this collage for, but do you know where that white blouse came from? I've been on the hunt for a more open square neck blouse/cutsew like that in white for a while now.

>>6604622
Looks like JetJ.

>>6604622
It's on the JetJ website for 15,750 yen. In the blouse section - ル パルファン ドゥ ラ ローズ (Le parfum de la rose)

Any ideas, anyone? I only have the dress not the rest of the set.

Thanks so much! It's adorable!

I've had this for a while but most of my outfits with it have been a little boring. Any ideas for some more fun/interesting outfits?

Also asking for any ideas with the Moonlight night skirt from Meta in black and gold. It's easy to co-ord it with black and goth but I'm sure there's other possibilities.

Any ideas for this? I've been just pairing it with a lot of black, and most other coords I've seen were with the black/navy colorways...

Thanks guys!

I would try mixing it up with some of the colors in the print.

How would you go about coordinating a solid color OP?

>>6606153
I really like how lavender/lilac looks with mint so I'd probably go with mint x white x lilac accents, so mint/lilac floral headdress with pearl details, lilac flower on white pearl choker/matching bracelet/matching ring, white tights, and mint shoes. I'm having trouble finding pics of everything I'd like to put with it but the shoes.

Could anyone link this cardigan or something similar?
>>6573440
Collage anon did one for this dress with mint/ lavender accents and it was darling.

>>6606153
solid colors are fun because you can play up texture and pattern with everything else. I really dislike patterned tights with busy prints, but with solid pieces they look really good.

>>6605691
That dress is perfect for an elaborate classic outfit! I'd love to see it with forest-green accents and vintage jewelry.

>>6606182
That cardigan looks like it's from Modcloth, but I have no idea if it's still available.

>>6606182
PS, it was one of the other collage-making anons who did that one, not me. Just so you know, credit where credit is due and all. :)

>>6606585
>credit where credit is due

How about no? I have no problem with the collage making and showing it to other people but credit taking? Come on now

>>6605647
That skirt does lend itself really well to gothic outfits, but with the right pieces it also looks great with classic outfits. Bringing in beige and dark red give it a distinctly classic look. I think it would also look beautiful with forest green, mauve, and even rosy pink!

>>6606596
Um, I think you're confused. I was saying I DIDN'T make the collage anonymous was referring to, therefore I didn't want to implicitly take credit for something someone else did.

>>6606952
I will play around with it and see what happens. I have a red blouse but I think it's too bright of a red.

>>6605801
Thank you. This is like my first ideas for this dress too and maybe I will give it another shot with a few new accessories I've got lately.

>>6604864
I own this in burgundy and am having heaps of fun coordinating it, so here, have a collage. I also think that the black version would look really nice with burgundy.

>>6605691

I bought the Vampire Prelude bonnet on a whim. Is there anything other than the print itself to match this to? Would a plain black jsk work as well or am I just SOL on this purchase?

>>6607777
a red or grey one.

Does anyone have any ideas as to what to do with this vest? I was given it as a gift and I feel terrible for hardly wearing it, but I'm stumped with what to pair it with.

>>6607798
Wear it over a dress!

is it bad that i want to buy this separate just for the vest?
i like vests

>>6607777
Wear it with either a black JSK + red accessories, or a red JSK + black accessories.

>>6607958
That's a good idea! Maybe a black outfit and rose/red accessories and jewelry.

>>6607936
It's not bad, but wow, I would not pay $53 + shipping for that.

>>6607798
Pair it with a skirt and a sheer blouse for a cute casual look!

>>6573273
What character is that and what series is he from?

Can somebody help me out? I'm looking to put together a classic coord, maybe with some mori elements (but it's not necessary). Of love some input or advice though, if nothing else.

>>6609045
**I'd love some input
posting from my phone sucks a big one.
Oh, budget isn't a factor with this one either, I'm just in desperate need for some inspiration.

>>6609046

Polite bump.
I know this is a slow board but page 5 is a scary place.

>>6610330
I'm attempting to post a coord with cream x brown x fur trim x crochet lace bolero but I think we went over our internet cap as no pages are loading clothes pictures, sorry!

>>6609045
>>6610507
never mind, it started working again

I'm getting tired of wearing this with my limited bordeaux clothes.

Any ideas of bringing in some other colors?

>>6610701
navy, grey, dusky pink?

>>6611084
Seconding navy, it'll offset the orangey tones of that aged-book-color very nicely. Specifically try a navy bolero or blazer, I say.

>>6610561
That's hella cute, thanks! I was looking at a bolero really similar to that one on eBay and I think I'm gonna buy it :) do you happen to have sauce on the boots too?

>>6610701
It surprisingly looks very good with black. Look up close at the print and there's a lot of black in it.

>>6611154
Fluevog, so pricey. forever 21 and top shop had some similar ones but not as nice.

hey guys, I was wondering if you could help me out with a nice coord for this dress! I think it's so fun, and I'd like to get some ideas on what to pair it with before I buy it!

>>6614303
I went with a beige x tan theme and also randomly threw the coat in because I found it and thought it was kind of cool.

Forever21 makes mustard tights and yellow chiffon blouses as well, if you wanted to go with a mustard/yellow coord.

>>6615005
Thanks anon! I love it!
And the mustard yellow sounds delicious! I'll check it out! I also love the coat too, I was looking for something a little different to go with the dress! I think this is a confirmed purchase! I'm excited!

>>6615080
No worries - it's here on etsy but I think it looks like it could be found for cheaper on taobao....
http://www.etsy.com/listing/1013336/2013-spring-new-faux-fur-collarool?

>>6615005
How much is this outfit's running price?

I'm trying to jazz this skirt up a bit but idk exactly what I should do with it... I was thinking of either bringing out the golds or the pinks? I'm trying to make it more classic than sweet.

>>6615005
This coord reminds me of the Disney saloon in frontier land. Mmm, butterscotch sundaes.

>>6615211
I don't really see "classic" and that skirt happening... I suppose if there are dark burgundy/brown tones in there you could try bringing those out? Or the pale blues? Definitely not pink and gold, that will just get garish quickly

>>6615205
The pricey parts would be the jacket and the dress (which is probably somewhere around the 20000 yen mark retail price) - everything else is from forever21 so can be looked up on their website, and the jacket is already linked

>>6615164
I like the idea of pink with gold accents. I cheated and used the stock photo blouse as part of the coord (although meta have some nice blue blouses on sale!) as well as faberge jewellery because it was gorgeous, but etsy turned up plenty of gold egg themed stuff as well.

>>6615323
>if it's pink it must be sweet!!11!!

get out

>>6615360
>>6615205
The jacket and dress are about the same price! IW actually has a pretty good sale going on, lot's of things are 30-50% off!

Could I get help with this ETC skirt please? I'd worked out a couple of ideas, but the background for the strawberries has turned out to be offwhite, not white, and that's kind of totally thrown me off for some reason.

I'd prefer tights over socks as I'm 180cm and I need the extra coverage. I'm also more into casual otome styles, but any help would be great, thank you!

>>6615005
Do you think you'd have time to do one with mustard/yellow for me? I'm not that good at coords and I'd muck it up

>>6615872
Diff anon but just a tip when you're looking for mustard, HUE makes some nice totally opaque tights in mustard that are like $13.

How do I coord this skirt? Saw it for sale but not sure if it would look good on me. I think the colour is a lot more subdued irl. It looks like a odd shade of "pink" and I don't even own anything pink. As it's a skirt, I feel like it needs some balance to make it work. I could get the dress instead but it's more expensive and I'm not too sure about bustles.

>>6615925
Cream tights with a texture, cream blouse, brown bolero or jacket and shoes. Try to match the pink in a hair accessory and in something like a brooch.
This is a basic easy coord but there is a lot that can be done with that lovely skirt.
I could see a boater hat looking adorable in a coord with it also.

>>6615925
That's a beautiful skirt anon!

halp

>>6616237
Helped

>>6615925
dying for this in the dark brown JSK :(

>>6616237
That dress is gorgeous. I'd try coordinating it with a white lacey bolero and gloves or if you'd prefer to go darker, a billowy navy blouse and tights with maybe some brown/tan accents?

>>6616264
Is it really that bad? I mean, obviously the choker-thingy goes right in the trash, but the dress itself isn't that bad...right?

>>6616359
no that anon's just an asshole who can't accept people have different tastes.

I personally need that dress on my body.

>>6616389
oh gosh thank you! I thought I might be more ita than I realized; I'm pretty new.

Here's the link to the dress, if you wanted it! http://www.fanplusfriend.com/servl/the-2270/%22The-Lady-Marine%22-Roco/Detail

>>6616389
Same, I think it's gorgeous. Is that one of their dresses with built-in boning?

>>6616401
No boning, I'm afraid. I wish.

>>6616315
Thank you!!! That sounds so perfect I may die.

>>6616237
So stereotypical, but there is so much cute sailor-y stuff that I couldn't resist. Navy x royal blue x white x gold with a teeny bit of red, that choker thing could possibly become a rectangle headdress :P

>>6615737
I know that feeling. Offwhite throws me off so much! I've used "cream" tights here, and the hat band is far enough away that it shouldn't even matter. If you aren't into wearing heels, those shoes come in a flat version too.

>>6616264

>>6573204
Would this work with a pale purple like the flowers in the print?

>>6615872
eh, I'll bite. it's probably better with all mustard or all yellow.

>>6616567
:O yiss!

>>6615925

>>6616605
Thank you! This is amazing - I love the shoes and the colour of the blouse. Where are the shoes from?

Currently kicking myself because I actually own cream tights very similar, yet just didn't think of putting them together. Thank you again!

>>6585778
source on the bag?

>>6616670
Thank you! I thought I'd like the mustard better but I actually think I like the cream better hmm...
Also
>dat file name

>>6617128
Wow, that coord is ...bad. WTF, IW?

>>6617939
I believe it comes from that one taobao shop that ha all the crazy-shaped purses, but I cant seem to remember the name/link...

>>6617949
Okay, thanks!

>>6617561
They're made by pleaser,I think the funtasma sub brand.

>>6616655
I would assume so? But I would ask CollageAnon just to be sure
