/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Sweet isn't my thing, but I instantly thought of the star lori bag. Pic very related.

>>6798713
Just curious, but has their quality improved at all? I just remember the EGL reviews a while back where the bag straps broke after one use.

Help? I'm new to the more sweeter styles. I'd love to make a nice coord without going ott sweet. I'm thinking about something with a touch of hime?

So my friend has this skirt, and wants to sell it because she has no idea how to coordinate it. However, she loves it a lot, so it would be nice to show her some dark/gothic coords with this.

>>6798725
I have a shoulder bag from them, have had it about a year and it's incredibly sturdy. Their quality improved tons.

http://lolibrary.org/node/13293

I'm thinking about buying this Innocent World Birdcage JSK (in cream) from a comm sale, but I'm not sure of how to go about making a coord for it. Any suggestions?

>>6797358
My advice is be careful to watch the tones of your purples. Because right now from what I can see from the photos, you have the dress and blouse taking from a warmer, pinkish-purple lilac and sax, and your accessories/shoes look like a colder lavender. Switch at least one of your accessories for a warmer purple I would say, or maybe sax (the wristcuffs maybe).

>>6798830
I don't know about 'dark' but you could try doing a cream gothic coord... I'd say long sleeve blouse, a veiled headdress, tights and heeled shoes for starters, maybe lace gloves as well.

>>6798960
Coording mainly with black for obvious starters; for accent colors consider gold and bordeaux. Dark green would work well too, I think.

Saw the pictures, contacted my SS and realized it's not what I usually wear. So I come to you for help coord wizards of cgl

I feel like I've got too much lace going on...

>>6799174
Looks like you improved this a lot! The only thing I'm a bit iffy on is the choker, for some reason I can't put my finger on it feels off from the other accessories, but it's not too bad. I think overall you have a good coord going here.

Sauce on the shoes?

>>6799201
Thank you! Yeah, the chokr is the one thing I'm kind of stuck on. I can't really find what I'm looking for and the ones I find that are close, like in the picture, have one thing that's off about it!

Here's the link for the shoes: http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=19270668494

>>6799201
>>6799229
The choker is pure white, while the dress is more of an off-white. More importantly, the lace of the choker doesn't match any of the other lace/frills. It's too dissimilar and would stand out.

>>6799201
>>6799229
I think the thing with the choker vs other accessories is that the other accessories are more nature/flower themed, while the choker doesn't really reflect that sort of theme and instead looks a bit too fancy compared to the others.

>>6799174
sauce on the bag please?
I think that the coord is pretty. I would love to see a lace tight instead of the dote, but for me there is no such thing as too much lace and it looks like you were aiming for more sheer.

>>6799233
I don't know how I even overlooked the color difference! I'll be sure to keep that in mind while looking for something else.

>>6799238
I think it might also be the fact that it has the antique metal detail too? Would pearl detail still be considered too fancy?

>>6798816

>>6799143
oh man this would be gorgeous with lavender...I'm thinking a lavender x sax x white coord with lavender chiffon blouse/lace tights/lavender or sax heels.

What this threads really means: "lolitas" fantasizing, as usual, about shit they don't own and never will.

so
finally caved in and got a dream dress
problem is I got NOTHING to go with it.

if anyone could help me accessorize this with wristcuffs, hair accessories, or shoes I'd be forever grateful

>>6805813
I feel like just simple navy lace wristcuffs would go perfectly with this, maybe with a silver star charm on them? Navy teaparties, and for some reason I see this being cute with a high ponytail in a navy scrunchy. And silver jewelry of course. Just off the top of my head!

>>6805856
ooh navy tea parties?
Which color would the socks be then?
I was thinking white socks but short ones with a little decoration on them

>>6805865
I think those sheer socks that are popular lately would work, either navy or in white maybe (I don't think I've ever seen them come in silver). Especially for summertime coming up, if you're in the northern hemisphere.

>>6805883
Is there any picture references to that? I've never seen them but they sound really cute

>>6805900
Pic related! I'll see if I can find a few more too... I know they were popular in Japanese offbrand shops too last year.

>>6805933

>>6805937

>>6805939

>>6805940
Stuff like this!

I'm not sure if the brands made them in navy, but they did do white/ofwhite.

oh! Man thank you! I think i see the second ones you linked and you're right, that would be really cute!

Thanks so much, anon!

I posted this in the last thread but didn't get any responses- any help would be great! This JSK is cute but stumping me. The lace is this odd tan color rather than the normal beige...

Not exactly Lolita but. . .
I purchased this dress just to wear for fun in the summer, does anybody have any good ideas how to coord it nicely?

>>6806420
you definitely want to age that up to keep it from looking too childish, unless of course that's what you were going for
maaaaybe define the waist with a belt or something as well, but that all depends on how it fits on you

idk, call me tumblrcore but I'm really seeing brown oxfords and a sunhat type thing with this, plus a cute satchel. the dress is a really nice colour and I wouldn't detract too much attention from that

>>6806420
Getting brutally tortured on a cross? Sorry my Higurashi senses are tingling

>>6806358
This is really cute! And I definitely know the difficulty of color matching IW... Since it's such a strange color, this is a weird idea, but have you considered matching your makeup to it? Maybe paint your nails that tan-mocha color, or use it for a tan/brown smoky eye or something like that. Or maybe if you're crafty, see if you can find some poplin or sateen, something in that color and make yourself a matching bow pin to put on your hat?

You could also see if you could find a tan handbag to match.

>>6806437
That sounds adorable!
>>6806483
Aaah, you caught me. I'm a huge Higurashi fan and I adore Satoko's dress.

>>6806358
Unfortunately I'm not crafty at all, but I like the idea of the handbag! I'll keep a lookout for something that is a similar color, thanks!

Does anyone have any coord ideas for this? I

>>6808695
I would keep it simple.
White blouse, White tights, brown wig (with a matching bow?)
can you take the one on the dress off?

>>6808708
I'm actually not sure yet, the dress is yet to be in my possession, to be honest. Do you think it would look tacky with either black tights or black knee-highs with white lace trim? I'm not the hugest fan of white tights...

What program does one use to create a coord, I got all the pictures but unsure what I can use. I really would like to contribute to this thread.

>>6808713
DA and I think black would be a bit out of place to be honest. Maybe dark green tights and blouse?

>>6808715
I either use a screenshot from polyvore or photoshop

>>6808717
Sounds very Christmas-y, would look really cute for a holiday party

I'm wearing this out to First Friday tomorrow. It's my first casual coord, but I can't help but feel it's extremely boring.Any tips for improvement would be greatly appreciated.

>>6811209
petticoat!

>>6811209

I know it's casual, and I know pettis seem to make it super dressy but you need to have one no matter what.

The dresses always look so sad otherwise

Thanks, I'm wearing two, but I'll switch them for a fluffier one.

>>6816611
would wear/10

Just got Chess Chocolate in mint with no headbow. I don't really want to match it with a headbow anyway and do a more mature/classic coord. I was thinking of just wearing some brown flowers in my hair but the wig I plan to wear is dark brown and they'd blend too well. I can't find mint flowers anywhere.

Ideas for possible head pieces?

>>6816824
Headband? http://www.forever21.com/Product/Product.aspx?BR=f21&Category=hair-accessories&ProductID=1000049786&VariantID=
There's also these spiked hairbows, which would pick up on the gold in the print

>>6816824
Sweet Mildred on Etsy makes a chocolate-bar headbow with gold trim to match AP's chcolates series. Her work is really good! Pic related. :D

>>6816763
Too much brown on the bottom half. Switch out the brown tights for white and add a blue accent to the hat.

>>6811209
I don't think mint looks very good with that dress tbh, but if you're intent on wearing it, I'd say you should add a black/brown (whatever color the bows on the dress are) accent to your head. Also, wear more jewelry, definitely wear a petticoat. What do you have on for socks/tights and shoes?

Suggestions and critique pls

I can't find a headpiece I like, and I think I might be taking the fairy tale theme too far.

>>6816895
These shoes would be better, in retrospect

And I agree with >>6816909
The shoes she linked are more suited to the outfit, the gloss on the others feels a bit out of place

Squirrel Party JSK in lavender coord help?
I don't know what colour of shoe to go with, as I feel both light pink and deep pink look a little off.
The lace all over the top of it is atrocious, but the print is so cute.

>>6816960
sax?

Help? I've never done this before.

>>6818787
I think you need to match the browns a bit more, the lolita aesthetic is currently very matchy-matchy and the bag and shoes are entirely different browns to the dress, let alone each other. The shoes are tan, the bag is closer to the dress colour but it looks like a 'blue'/cool dark brown as opposed to a warm one (although that could be lighting, and the trim is white whereas that dress is very much ivory-beige which you've picked up on with the tights. It's fine to go for a contrasting brown but when none of them match it looks like you just chose the first brown things you could find. I'd either stick with tan or try and find warmer browns, possibly with some cream or even dusky pink.

>>6818787
Okay, so I went with dress beige x ivory (like the tights x brown. That dress seems like it will go with a lot of different muted colours, but if you're pulling colours from the dress itself match those as closely as possible.

>>6818813
I don't agree with this advice. I think the dress has enough brown tones to support the differing browns of the accessories. If it was a solid colored dress it might matter more but I think it's fine with this coordinate.

>>6818825
>>6818813
Okay thank you. I didn't pick up on the different shades of brown at all. I think my main problem is that I have no idea where to look to find nice things, I feel very limited in what I can actually put together to make an outfit.

Thanks for the help though, I'll keep the matching all your colours thing in mind.

>>6818844
I feel like it's more beige than anything - my rationale was that the only true brown in it is the bows and the lace on the bottom hem, thus having accessories/shoes in brown looks best pulling from the brown in the dress itself and would look a bit random (kinda like you went with the first brown thing you could find) without either the shoes and bag matching browns or them both matching to the dress. Aside from that, the other issue I had with the brown bag was that there was white trim with a beige dress. I find I demand more matchy matchy of collages compared to actual outfits though because you see all the items right up next to each other, so I guess it probably doesn't matter as much in an actual outfit and I'm just anal about matching.

>>6818855
I would agree that it's preferable to match browns perfectly if possible, but it's not essential to me. But I also don't mind the dreaded brown/black combo in my coords so maybe I'm not the best at giving matching advice.

help i don't know how to salopettes

pink/yellow/sax I guess? I was thinking of getting rid of some of the sax, I have a pink bag to replace the blue heart bag and the same top in pink.

and hell if I'm ever finding the headbow for this so I'm settling for shitty DOL after I add interfacing and make it look decent. I might add some glitter fabric paint to accent the print on the headbow and maybe some rhinestones or something. anything to make it look less shitty.

Not entirely sure if this belongs here, but is bodyline really frowned upon? I just want pretty straight answers here. I'm getting my first coord soon and being poor, I was thinking bodyline would be my best bet.

>>6819719
Not if it's of good quality.

>>6819724
Meaning.. a good coordinate? Or the actual dress/items?

>>6806420
I second the belt idea. You definitely want to age this dress up a little, so leave your legs bare and maybe forgo a hair accessory (unless it's a very simple, or a straw hat like the other anon suggested). I also wouldn't stray far from the established color palette; I added a little gray to sober it up, but other than that I'd stick to yellow for your accessories. Cute dress!

>>6806358
This looks really cute! Honestly, I wouldn't worry too much about matching that tan, but I really like the way you've tied it in with a straw hat. People often say that perfect matching is mandatory in lolita, but I feel like... it's not. If you get too close it just looks like you tried and missed, and if you put off wearing the dress until you find something that perfectly matches that shade the dress could be hanging in your closet a very long time. That taupey color is fairly common in handbags, so that's where I'd start looking if you really do want to match it. Good luck!

>>6798830
I'm not very good at gothic but an attempt was made

>>6819838
pls no

Could the person who did this IW jsk for me post it again?
I seem to have lost the file

Though is there anyway I could work this into a mori outfit?

Any help coordinating this dress? I'd prefer something summery and any wig or handbag advice would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

>>6819859
Here ya go.

>>6819730
Both.

>>6819671
Just pink x yellow would be SUPER cute, if you suit yellow a yellow top? I'm not a fan of ankle socks over knee socks simply because unless you have super stick legs they make them look huge due to being cut off at two points, I'd go for the short yellow ones.

>>6798830

I sure do love offbrand. Should I add more black?

>tfw not enough money for brand

>>6821788
The top left is an IW embroidery replica and the shoes are VM replicas...they're not really offbrand in the true sense.

>>6821405
That sounds like a good idea. I could probably get away with a cute yellow t-shirt or cutsew because it's a salopette.

there's not enough pink x yellow coords.

oh and haha I didn't mean both socks, I just listed a few that might work for it. the short socks are on AP USA's website right now so I might pick them up. thanks for the input!

>>6821672
Source on socks?

I just bought Moitie's Silent Moon OP in black with white print to try out Gothic style, while I'm usually OTT. Does anyone have any ideas how to make it look nice without over doing it? Any time I think of what to wear with it, I end up thinking of a million white-lace accessories and it just looks bad/silly.

Thanks for any suggestions.

How do I this dress without going goth loli

>>6821834
About to go to bed, so can't do a collage for you. Sorry, anon. But. Keep it semi-casual and shoot for classic. Play up the white with the blouse or bolero, and avoid anything with crosses. Maybe wear a Peter Pan collar with a bow died underneath? A white rose hair comb or corsage in a simple up-do or half up-do is also good with some wavey, loose curls. Keep it sleek, avoid big hair or heavy curls. A cute side bow would also work.

For shoes, avoid anything with buckles that doesn't look historical in nature. Ankle boots or mid-calf boots like IW would be really cute.

>>6819863
Hmmm, a long-sleeved OP summery style? I tried and ended up with 'trip to go shopping style'. I was trying to go the route of espadrilles/straw hat/straw tote but couldn't quite get that to work.

>>6821823
Polonova.

>>6821831
Keep it simple, let the print be the focus. If you must go with white accessories, white lace tights, otherwise leave the print to be the focus.

>>6821834
White peter pan collar blouse, then find a third colour like grey or dusky pink for tights/bolero/hair accessory, black shoes.

I need help to figure out what hair accessory, tights and cardigan/bolero to wear with my wonder party jsk. Pretty please anyone?

>>6821834

introduce a new color into the mix and repeat it in other accessories.

Depending on your coloring you can choose light or cornflower blue, celadon green, dusty rose.

Match your top, get printed tights that have the color you chose in it, match a hairbow.

Hell, you can even have a velvet sash made to order so you can switch it out for what color you feel like that day.

>>6821885

That's the OP

>>6821936
I really like the idea of throwing in some light dusty pink and maybe even a bit of gold.
Just wish I could find printed tights that fits me right. Thanks for the ideas! Very helpful!
>>6821940
Nope, it's the mini sleeve JSK. Pic related is the OP.

Advice please anons. I'm creaming over this blouse, but do you guys think it can look good with a skirt? I worry that the bodice is too plain. I only wear skirts, hence why I ask.

>>6822014
I think it would look gorgeous with a skirt, anon. If you are worried about it being too plain, dress it up with some well placed accessories.

>>6822014

First, the blouse is sheer, so you'll need something under/over it. Second, that empire waist shirring is going to look funky on top of most lolita skirts, unless you're really lanky.

You can make it work by wearing a bustier or a corset over it to get a more figure-hugging shape, and if it's non lolita you could probably wear a tank top underneath with some jeans for a dressed-up-but-jeans-casual sort of look.

>>6822035
>that empire waist shirring is going to look funky on top of most lolita skirts
What? That's why you tuck your blouses...into your skirts...

>>6822037

This style of blouse has a lot more fabric under the bust than a princess-seamed blouse, you can see how it doesn't follow the body contour, but falls loosely around the mannequin's torso. So when you try to tuck it into your skirt, the excess fabric will become a fabric balloon between the shirring and where it's tucked into your skirt.

>>6822047
Different anon. I have a blouse similar to that one, and I have that ballooning problem when I wear it with skirts. My solution was to take shape wear like spanx or just tight shorts and tuck it in to those.

>>6822048

(I'm >>6822047)
Doesn't the blouse still balloon a little when you shrug or something (since moving your shoulder increases the distance between your shoulder and your waist where it's tucked in, I expect the fabric to slip out and still do at least a slight balloon).

By the way, I did suggest bustiers, corsets and wearing it over jeans/pants in >>6822035
So I'm saying you should not buy it, rather that it needs to be coorded differently than the more common princess-seamed blouse.

>>6822062

*I'm NOT saying you should not buy it.

>>6821788
Sauce on the purse?

Can anyone help me with colour schemes? I have a pretty plain mint skirt with white detailing and I have no idea how to plan other colours into the outfit. I normally wear gothic or heavily printed pieces so I know how to bring the colours and textures out in them. Colour is a new thing for me. So if anyone has any ideas of maybe another colour that would work with mint and white or, generally how to balance the outfit a little better, that'd be amazing. I plan on wearing the skirt with a mint fur capelet by the way.

>>6822686
There's a few ways to go with adding colour, you can add colour just in the accessories; you can add another colour into the coord and make it mint X white X other colour, or make it mint X other colour keeping the white relevant by having it as a trim in some of the accessories. Other pastels are nice with mint, such as lilac and pink, so for example a pink blouse, white tights, mint shoes and cape, and pink and white floral hair clips would work with the skirt.

I need a few ideas on how to incorporate fairy kei elements into a Lolita outfit. I'm going for Kyary's concert so I want to try something cuter with brighter colours, but I usually dress goth/classic. Any tips?
I have this wig and skirt and a few of those fuzzy choco mint accessories.
Help will be much appreciated!

>>6823949

I'd suggest lots of pastel layers and maybe some cute, eyecatching tights, brooches, some attention grabbing shoes etc.

>>6823899
thank you so much, that really helps, I think I'll go with the accessories, I was thinking of having a white or pink blouse, mint and white skirt, mint shoes and cape and lilac and pink accessories? I have lilac tights, would that be too much? a friend told me to use pale yellow and blue but I think it'd look too eastery.

>>6821831
I tried

>>6822014
Wow, gorgeous blouse! My biggest piece of advice is a high-waist skirt. And the blouse definitely isn't too plain; there's loads of visual interest from the pleating alone, blue the bow and ruffled neckline. Repeating a bit of pleating in a solid skirt is a great way to carry that interest throughout your outfit. This blouse would also be pretty with tailored trousers, for a more every-day look.

>>6824527
"blue the bow" = "plus the bow"
go home collageanon you are drunk

I have this coming in the mail, thinking of doing a nice summery sailor-ish coord, but I'm stuck on the neckline. Do you think I need a blouse, and if so, what kind?

Since I'm not really sure where else to ask this; is qutieland.com alright to buy lolita items from?

>>6824961
I'd personally wear it with a light bolero so it could be tucked under the collar.

>>6824961
You can, but I don't think you have to. MM's stock photos show it with one, but VM and Meta both have a fair few similar dresses that are intended to be wearable without a blouse. I would wear it with sheer tights, maybe lace wristgloves, and a straw hat or marine-stripe bows. Especially since it's for sailor, where you do traditionally have a little more leeway for no blouse due to being a summery style.

If you do wear a blouse, I think a high neck would work best with that collar and I would not use one with puff sleeves, as it looks like the collar would flatten them (same as with a peter pan collar). Cap sleeves especially might work well.

Pic related 1/2, no blouse

>>6825032
Pic 2, a jsk with a cap sleeve/sleeveless w/ ruffle hem blouse.

Also seconding what >>6825022 says about a bolero/cardigan.

>>6825036
And a Meta coord with no blouse again

>>6825011
Not a scammer but they are probably the most overpriced store you could buy from. It's much cheaper to use any average Taobao shopping service to purchase directly from the Chinese brand stores.

>>6822014
Do you know if Krad Lanrete is still selling this?

So, I'm trying to make a coordinate for the first time... does it look bad?

>>6825055
Nope, looks cute to me! I would consider matching the color of your bag to your hat though, or maybe choosing a different bag, since the brown isn't present anywhere else in the coord.

>>6825059
What kind of bag should I consider? I've been looking at a lot of sailor coords and they all use chests as bags, but I can't find one in my price range any lighter of a color. It'll be my first time wearing an actual coordinate, and I dun wanna be too ita-tastic.

>>6825077
Well, the bag wouldn't be ita or anything and to be honest I think it does work. But just something to think about as far as everything matching perfectly.

An alternative might be a simple navy or white purse with a cute bow detail, lolita or not.

>>6825086
Ah okay, Thanks~ I might try to go for a white one since there's more navy than white. I appreciate the input!

>>6824029
lovely!

>>6825040
That Meta coord looks like the style I might go for. Thanks!

my first try at a coord. Any help?

>>6825055
Where's this hat from?? So cute.

>>6826787
I feel like the bottom is too black-heavy, if you're wearing a white blouse. Try going for white socks with pink accents?

>>6824527
Diff anon, but regarding sheer blouses and skirts, what do you think would work as a layer under the blouse? Obviously I can' just have my bra hanging out, but would a camisole look awkward? I've only ever seen people wear sheer blouses under dresses.

>>6824961
Definitely no blouse! If you feel like you need something on your arms, go for dainty crochet gloves. Classic shoes and a delicate necklace will complete the look. I think I have another sailor-ish collage, let me dig it up.

>>6826833
I think a cami will work fine, as long as it fits well and isn't bunching up. Ideally I'd look for a sweetheart neckline. Make sure it isn't too close to your skintone, but you also don't want it to be too stark against your skin or it will draw attention away from the rest of your outfit.

>>6827322
Found it.

Made one for funsies. This blouse and jsk were meant for each other.

>>6797358
So I'm crossing my fingers I get this in for a Fashion Show I'm attending on Saturday night (not lolita). Any good ideas?

So I bought this dress on a whim off the sales community and I'm having difficulties putting together a coord I like with it. I'm still new to the style, any more experienced folks with better fashion sense want to help a scrub out, please and thank you?

This was a dream print of mine but I was only able to get the JSK instead of the OP. So now I'm not sure what color blouse or anything else would go with it since it is a lot more beige than I was expecting. I know this is a dream print for some other girls on here so maybe you all wouldn't mind sharing some general ideas of how you would co-ord this?

>>6828415
Aww, that's my dream print haha. I'm also not as fond of the JSK, great catch though! Do you mind if I ask if you got it from Japanese secondhand or a western sale?

My coordinating plans have been for the black skirt mostly, but off the top of my head I would use an ivory longsleeved georgette or chiffon blouse or something like that- not a very sheer one, but floaty with just a slight bit of sheerness to it. I think ivory slightly sheer (low den) tights, maybe with a long rib/stripe pattern down them would go nicely too, and matte gold shoes. For the hair I like the classic look of a gothic headdress, so if you can find an ivory one with gold accents I think that'd work perfectly. And gold jewelry, of course.
As for different accent colors- ruby/bordeaux would be perfect.

>>6828602
Thank you for the ideas! I got it from the sales comm actually, a response to my wtb. Good luck with your search, I know you'll love it when you find it, the print it even prettier in person!

I'm gonna get some lacey socks to wear with this, but after that I don't know what I can wear for the actual outfit. I ordered some cute shorts but my thighs were too big.
Help?

I need an honest opinion.
I'm not very good at this coord thing, and I'm caught between getting an AP royal chocolate salopette and the toy parade salopette. This is the only kind of coords I can think of with Toy Parade, as I don't really like tea parties in pastel colors. And if I were to get the Royal Chocolate salopette in Ivory, what would you coord it with?

Honest attempt and honest question. Sorry if my first try is ita as fuck.

>>6829585
Cute, yes.
Lolita, no.

>>6829585
this is so ita it literally pains me to look at

>>6829425
A skirt; a different pair of shorts, bought at a physical store so that you can try them on before buying; a dress.

Those are your options. Your question is really extremely general, because you don't even say the style you're going for. Looking at this, I doubt it was boystyle.
If you want people to help, throw them a bone.

>>6829585
Those tights are completely random.

>>6829602
>>6829612
>>6829618
Thanks, what can I do to fix it? I didn't plan for it to be ~*~supahlolikawaii~* or anything, since I'm pretty shy about going outside of the house in an outfit. I've always liked classic since it's toned down, but doing anything with a sweet related piece makes me a bit nervous. I think I can coord pretty decently, but what makes this ita?

As for the tights, I thought about them last and I don't know what to fill them with.. suggestions please? Also lol i forgot a blouse. I was thinking black shortsleeve with a peter pan collar.

>>6829636
you can do plain white tights or ones in one of the pastel tones of the print. my advice for you on coording is to look at the major item (a skirt, dress, etc) you're working with and look at the colors in the print (if applicable).
those shoes and the bracelet really read too clunky and out of place with the super sweet print. if you're dedicated to making it punk, i would look for spiked bracelets and things in a pastel tone. that black necklace will not be seen against the dress or the blouse you plan to wear (and that i would switch to match one of the major pastels, same as your tights), and generally random romanized japanese words read as very "weeb". the shoes... this is going to be offensive, but they look very clunky and i think the effect with the kid-style salopette will make you look retarded. strangely, i like the hat, but a hat like that is not lolita. your coord overall would be closer to fairy kei (as salopettes are understood to be closer to, overall) or spank or deco or whatever the kids call it these days. the wig is a natural color and styled to look like real hair, so it doesn't go with the overall candy-sweet appearance of the rest of the outfit.

>>6829636
Just any tights that are currently "fashionable" that aren't painted/classic-looking.
If you're going for an edgier, street fashion, sweet look, go for something with a geometric or symmetrical pattern, ie: stipes, zig-zags, polka dots, "garter" tights, cross-bone printed. I would say something that has a black base, at least.

I just don't like those hats overall, but it's a personal preference more than anything. I'd go for a head-band. Maybe a spiked one to reiterate the ones on the bracelet.

>>6829653
I don't take offense to that, those are actually my jeffrey campbells, which I understand to be clunky anyway. I'm thinking about parting with them soon since I don't know what to really wear them with anymore. What kind of shoes would you recommend me to wear with a salopette? I rarely see them in coords and my large feet make teaparties look foppy and huge.

You're probably right about the necklace though.

>>6829653
>and generally random romanized japanese words read as very "weeb".
stop with this shit. trying to run away from things that might make you 'weeb' changes nothing

Can I please have some help on coordinating high-waist skirts ? I have this IW skirt in chocolate, and the AATP End Of Immortal Eden skirt in bordeaux, but I have no idea what kind of blouse/cardigan/bolero I should wear with them because their high waist confuses me.

tryed so hard.

Ok, so I gave it another shot and took what you guys wrote in consideration. The wig is just the buns and wig, no eyeball hair clips. I was going to do plain black bows instead.

I apologize if I'm destroying this thread with my ita but at this point if I can't make a good coord with this then i'm just going to give up on getting this salopette and stick with something simpler.

>>6829612
I suppose that's a good thing, since that's what ita is supposed to be (not just, OMG HER SHOES ARE A SLIGHTLY OFF SHADE OF PINK)

>>6829722
You can wear.. pretty much any variety of blouses with high waisted skirts, really. Any blouse that has an undecorated waist will work fine. Blouses with waist ties might give you trouble since the skirt waist will interfere, as would a long blouse like one with a swallowtail, but that's about it.

So this will be my first co-ord, really. I'm a bit lost on what to from here. I'm not really interested in a wig though. I was thinking maybe some white/sheer tights with pink teaparties. Would that be too boring?

>>6829758
omg where is the wig from its so cute.

Looking for feedback on this.
I really want to dress up this print with a bride-ish theme. However I can't figure out if I should wear lace gloves, regular gloves, like in the picture, or plain wriscuffs.
Help

>>6830147
Personally, I dislike the shiny satin because that texture isn't really anywhere else in the outfit (the shine of satin and the shine of the metallic bag is different, in my mind). I personally would go with wristcuffs (that would mimic the texture of the headdress), or lace gloves. Or, if you can find matte gloves.

>>6829758
much cuter anon!

>>6828261
Would a Bordeaux go Ok with a lavender like this? I was thinking of doing a Bordeaux hat/purse/boots and offwhite tights and blouse (sorry I am on phone can't do a picture)

>>6821788
Where is the blouse from?

>>6830391
Looks like Infanta

any suggestions for jewelry?

Having a difficult time with hime. Maybe I should do sweet for my first coord and work my way up.

Just bought this. I'm kind of not quite sure how to accessorize this. What do you guys think of a dark blue blouse? Unsure of what to do for legs and shoes. Also, mini hat or beret? (http://lolibrary.org/node/15808 / http://lolibrary.org/node/15972)) I'm not sure if I like the mini hat or not.

>>6832651
I think a cream or even white blouse would look good here, anon
dark blue would work as long as the colour was close to the dress and didn't clash too much, although a bit of contrast with a lighter blouse would look nice too.

any suggestions for this?

>>6833138
Burn it

>>6833138
I would keep the bolero and chuck the rest, tbh.

>>6833190
This

>>6833138
Are any of the girls right side up on this dress?

What kind of accessories/socks would be good with this?

>>6833241
I think this is one of the few cases where harlequin socks wouldn't be out of place, thanks to the chessboard, but I also think pairing bordeaux with it to bring those details out would look nice.

>>6833138
The design of the dress is too busy so I find it hard to focus on one thing.

>>6830007
Sorry for the late reply, I got banned from the board for attempting to post a store envy page. oops. Anyway the seller is Quantummadness DOT storenvy DOT com. Its the mint beauty wig and I think the bangs are uncut.

can someone help me with this in green? I want to move away from just plain mint/green and white. I'd like to maybe take it in an old school direction but I really have no idea

>>6833660
first thing that comes to mind would be a light pink or lavender blouse with small white details on it (or maybe a pearl necklace or something)

>>6831035
don't bother with a bodyline petti.

>>6833828
thought i could get away with wearing a sub-par petti just because I dont really want to be extremely poofy. but ehh i might end up getting a more expensive one depending on how much money i can scrape together (NEET here)

>>6835009

bodyline's cheap petticoats do less than throwing a plain skirt on under it. by the time you reach the price point where they actually do something you are paying more than you would for a decent one.

>>6833660
Mint, brown, and pink. Not together, of course. But a nice pink or brown blouse would look nice. Either mint or brown shoes, ect ect

Just threw this together real quick, very open to critique!

Oh might as well post this.

I have this dress and I have one (very basic, might I add) coord for it, but I'm kinda blanking on creative alternatives. (also ignore the green bow that comes with it. it's this weird shade that doesn't match the other colors at all and isn't very attractive. I've got it pinned to a backpack somewhere...)

Any coord help?

>>6835199
The basic answer would be too coord with bourdeaux to match the flowers (berries?), but I think it might actually be more interesting to coord a sage green like the bow on it and the flower vines. It'd be difficult to find, though.

>>6835218
Yes, that makes sense. I'll keep my eye out for sage accessories. That really isn't a common color in lolita, but maybe I could find something on etsy. I've also dyed tights before so I could do that.

I'll also look around for a bolero in bordeaux.

>>6835133
I never considered brown, thank you anon, do you think royal chocolate jewelry would go with it? If I ended up making it a mint chocolate theme basically.

>>6835181
I would say go for opaque brown tights instead of lacey ones. I don't think lacey tights go with the rest

not really lolita, but interested in hearing other people's thoughts

I have a pretty generic black-and-white polka dot dress and I want to punch it up with some fun tights. Solids are fine, but what color? Will any patterns or prints work? Random collage for contrib.

I bought the Alphonse Mucha tights from Innocent World and I've had them for a while and can't coordinate them to save my life. Would it be possible to coord them with a black dress? What about a dress with black accents?

My dresses/skirts with more creams and browns aren't plain, and I feel like it would be too much pattern when I want the emphasis to be on the tights.

>>6835585
Those purple tights are a NO. The rest looks good.

Thinking of getting this skirt... I know F&F's quality is hit-or-miss, but does anyone have it? Care to review?

I have a black 3/4-length blouse I want to wear with it, but I'm not sure what to wear on my wrists. Could cuffs be too much? A bracelet seems like too little.

>>6841330
THESE tights? With BLACK? Absolutely not.

>>6841483
Damn. I'm going to have to buy another dress just for these tights.

I mean, they match things in my non-lolita wardrobe, but I'd like to wear them with loli...

>>6841496
I think they would look good with black actually anon. I don't see why not.

>>6841330
I think the print is subtle enough, when worn, to not clash with prints in analogous colours. I think it is possible to coordinate it with a black dress, that's usually what you do when you have patterned tights.

>>6841483
What would you coord it with if not black? Brown and cream? I mean yeah but...yawn.

I just bought this dress as a secondhand purchase but I'm not sure what to coord with it. I have a black longsleeve blouse but that's about it. the dress is extremely busy with the thorns, but I'd still like to add red items to accent the roses.

JSK is that AATP Beardsley Rose Alice JSK in black. Help would be appreciated.

Hey, I have a question about tights that I don't think warrants its own thread, but I'd appreciate your advice just the same. I love patterned tights like >>6841483 and I feel like they would go well with my current wardrobe. However, my legs are disproportionately thick and muscled compared to the rest of my body (pic somewhat related.) Usually I try to minimize this by wearing plain colored tights. Is there any way I might be able to incorporate patterned tights in to my wardrobe without looking like a fat mess, or should I avoid them all together?

>>6841483
I could see them working with a blue dress, like a pastel blue.

>>6841330
Seconding the Mucha tights... I'm having a lot of trouble with them too. I tried a coord with cream and brown and, as >>6841558 says, it was pretty yawn. I'm not really sure what else to do with them, main-pieces wise so yeah, other suggestions would be great. I have a lot of dark colors in my wardrobe so it's especially difficult...

>>6841608

I have bigger legs myself, I just steer clear of them. Usually they're made in smaller sizes, so the pattern is stretched and weird looking. If you can find them in a bigger size that would fit you well, I say go for it.

>>6841608
THISTHISTHIS

Does anyone know places where lusciously legged lasses can get cute hosiery?

>>6841804
Thank you for responding! It's nice to hear from someone who also has the tights. They are so beautiful, when I bought them I thought "just wear them with solid pieces" but it wasn't as easy as I thought it would be...

>>6841910
Plus size taobao stores.

...but there is still a limited selection compared to thin legs. You can only get patterns like cute hearts or something.

>>6797358
Any ideas for this? I'm removing the little pink bows (since they don't match really anything on the dress, they are much warmer pink IRL than the picture) would love something OTT classic

>>6842368
Just cut the threads carefully? Not like they're embroidered on

>>6842380
what? No they are pinned on. I was asking for coord ideas and throwing out there that the pink bows will not be on the dress.

>>6841910
Modcloth occasionally gets printed tights in plus sizes, I think they have a Victorian woodcut-themed print now. SockDreams has a decent selection, but you'll want to read their sizing information carefully. You might also check out Foot Traffic, although I'd avoid them unless you're well within their recommended measurements. The prints fade and distort very easily unless you have plenty of wiggle room.

Speaking of printed tights, have a collage with printed tights.

bamp

Just got this in the mail!

What accent color do you think would be best to go with? There seem to be a lot to choose from in the print

Right now I'm thinking royal blue, maybe

>>6844910
I would go with one of the lovely vivid violets in the print, I think royal blue could be a bit too off from the print (from what I can see).

>>6844950
Hmm good idea! I was thinking royal blue because it's so much easier to find accessories in that color, but I like your idea better!

>>6842443
this is so cute c:

>>6844958
You could even mix a couple of different violets for effect since the print contains a few of them. Just not too many or it won't look cohesive.

>>6842368
-huge amazing headdress picking up the pinks and blues with flowers
-hime hair with the big puffy bit at the front and curls to mid-back
-cream blouse
-rose and pearl jewellery
-cream floral lace tights
-calf length victorian boots - suggest cream lace
-floral shoe clips with a pearl chain/dangle

I'm in love with this apron but I have no experience matching aprons with dresses. Any help?

Could I get some help coording this dress?
http://lolibrary.org/node/14967
I own the gray colourway. IW's stock pictures are shitty as always, the colour is much closer to the picture of the print than the picture of the dress. I've got a nice pair of black, ankle-high boots to wear with it, but other than that I'm kind of at a loss. I'm thinking it might be nice to bring out the very subtle pink in the print maybe? I don't feel like I've seen a lot of stuff in that colour around though.

Tips for accessorizing this coord? Are the pink socks a bit much with the shoes?

I think that some standard TokiDoki or whatever accessories would work, but some white plastic rose accessories would look great.

>>6848631
Cute! I think that you should pick different shoes and a different top though.

Would it look off it I were to wear a nautical coord that has a long sleeve blouse but ankle socks instead of other legwear?

I haven't actually made the coord yet but just wondering.

>>6848162
If you can find a dusky rose coloured blouse to go with it it would look great. also these socks in the bordeaux may be a good match. http://innocent-w.jp/shopping/131937/index_e.html

>>6848808

It depends on the coord, like how much the blouse looks like it was made to keep cold weather out (in addition to long sleeves, if it was high necked, made of thick/warm material, and so on) and what else you throw on. If the blouse was a breezy chiffon or gauze material with a normal neckline and the rest of your styling looks summer-ish (eg- beach hat or hair done up, lack of gloves/boots, dress not too heavy/thick, etc) then it should look okay.

How should I coordinate this?

How should I coordinate this? The blouse is part of the dress. I'm thinking white tights and shoes, but I feel like that's a little boring

>>6849058
I tried this >>6821848 with it earlier in the thread.

So I was thinking about this as my first coord. no clue what to do about a headbow, was looking for the marshmallow bunny bow in pink but can't find it. Found the bunny ears on taobao but didn't really want to wear them in a first coord.

Also any crits about the outfit, please? It feels sort of bare.

I was thinking about this as my first coord but no idea what to do about the headpiece. Was looking for the Marshmallow bunny head bow in pink but can't find it. Found the bunny ears on taobao which are cute but didn't really want to use them in a first coord.

Any help would be appreciated with the coord, it looks a bit bare?

>>6850286

Those bunny ears will look terrible. If you want to wear bunny ears, wear a bunny bonnet.

>>6850328
Different anon, but you're joking right?

>>6850328
>>6850353
I kind of agree with 328 anon. The dress has pastels and whites but the bunny ears are kind of a off hot pink. Doesn't seem to match too well.

>>6850286
>>6850361
Maybe when foxcherry comes back from hiatus you could request some made from a more pastel/lighter pink?

>>6850361
Well I'd prefer a headbow, can't really find any that match it. Might just get a plain pastel pink one from etsy.

I humbly request help with this skirt. I've fallen in love with this skirt in blue, but I'm a pretty new to the fashion and I need help. I dunno I'm just not sure what to do... I've come up with something, but I'm not sure how I feel about it. I wanna incorporate more blue, but I'm not sure what details I should tweak. I'm not huge on the tights, but I'm having a hard time finding OTKs I like.

>>6850353

By bunny bonnet, I mean like the Piratessan ones. They're cute and well made.

>>6850286
This particular set isn't ideal for this coord because of the print, but maybe go with something similar? Just a flat silhouette of the ear shape with a bit of trim, instead of a literal representation in plush fur.

pls help

Would you guys be so kind as to share any saved coords that feature lace boleros/cardigans, preferably in black?

I'm thinking of buying this DC lace cardigan in black, but i'm hesitating because i'm thinking the lace used could make it or break it, so to speak.

I got sax shoes to go with this, but the shade really doesn't go and i was wondering if it would look okay with red shoes to match the red in the print?

>>6850891
I hate it when brands come out with ita shit like that. It makes idiot newbs think shit like animal ears are acceptable in lolita instead of just being cosplay.

>>6857911

I think you'd have to bring more red into the whole coord, to sorta tie it together.

>>6857911
You sure that's red ribbon? Looks like pink in the picture.
But anyway try something like pic related?
Maybe even with a red blouse seeing as there's a lot less red in your dress.

>>6857968
Forgot pic

I need some help with blouses, shoes, legwear and accesories here. Ever since I sent an email to my SS about the sash I have this desire to do a coord with a royal feel to it but I'm not really sure how to make it happen. Advice will be greatly appreciated!

>>6857968
Yeah, it looks a lot more red in person. Thanks!

Heeeellllp me, seagulls! I am so stuck it is not even funny with this. My basic idea was that I wanted to build a coord based on the shoes, which are on their way to me as we speak. Unfortunately, the apartment jsk is the only white jsk I have. I realize the whites look very different but I keep hoping beyond hope that the stock pictures are off and that they are closer IRL. The jsk does feel sliiiightly more "yellow" IRL, but I'm probably just kidding myself with this. Most of the items in the picture are stand-ins for what I actually own: my studded bracelet, boater hat and short-sleeved cardigan look slightly different, but it's the same basic concept. I'm probably gonna ditch the boater hat, I want to keep a punky feel throughout the coord and I think the spiked headband might help with that.

I don't know, I'd just like some input I guess. It's my first real attempt at a coord, so I apologize if it seems ita as hell. I am learning. If you could direct me to a nice looking jsk in the same shade as the shoes, that would make me super happy as well.

>>6858776
The gold in the spiked bracelet and innocent world bag(?) are throwing it off, trying using silver instead, it would go much better with the jsk and the silver on headband and shoes.
Also I own those shoes irl and they are brilliant white.
I don't like the plain black tights but I can't think of what else to use, sorry.

>>6858828
Thanks, anon! The bracelet I own is more of a silver color than the one pictured, so that's not a problem. The details on the IW book bag are actually tan(a much cooler shade than in the image), and I was hoping it wouldn't be too far off from the color of the wedges. I think the wedges are lighter though, so I'll just ditch the bag if it doesn't fit. I agree with you on the tights, I kind of feel like solid black tights is a little "heavy", but I'm not sure what to do about it either. What do you usually wear with your shoes, and are they as amazing as I am hoping they are?

>>6858848
If they're bodyline ones then they're way more comfortable than I'd have thought. Been out all day shopping in them and not even had tender spots. Much easier to walk in than heels too.

My outfit depends on what I wear with them but I have a lot of tattoo tights with cute designs on like ribbons, music notes, crosses etc. I usually wear them with ankle socks or over white tights. I like those black sheer vertical striped tights and the black sheer polka dot tights too I've been seeing a lot recently.

>>6829585
salopettes aren't lolita, so as long as you use one in your cord, you will not be lolita.

I changed some things around in the coord, playing with the thought of black ankle socks. I'm not too fond of black socks with white shoes, but then I usually never wear light shoes. I like dark colors on the bottom, and all of my other shoes are black. I'm almost positive I'm going to have to get a new jsk for this though, the more I think about it the less I think the apartment jsk will work.

>>6858881
Yup, they're the bodyline ones. I'm glad to hear they're comfortable, I've never owned a pair of RHS before and I've been kind of worried they would ruin my feet. Tattoo tights sound like they'd go great with them, I'll have to look around for some!

So I have this.
I just have no idea what to do with my hair. Suggestions? I would appreciate if I get wig suggestions. (fyi, I have olive skin... or light brown; i don't know how to describe it).

I want to put together an old school shiro coord. I have a tight budget. Does anyone have any suggestions? Kind of looking to buy a parasol too.

>>6859064
I have that same bag!
Maybe a dark brown wig with some twintails or odangos. Or a short bob. It looks pretty cute to me, I'd say add in more red and white elements. And this is just a person opinion but the heart sunglasses look too....other lolita to me.

>>6841483
I would recommend looking at colors in the original muchas, the borders and backgrounds often are more saturated with colors like with the picture I attached - pink, orange, red, brown, sage and gold in this one.

>>6841330
>>6841804

>>6859442 was meant for you guys.
also, this is the only pic i saw of them worn, they seem to be printed to have a lot of paleness in them as well as white space. I think the dress works with them because the patterned area doesn't visually stop where the tights do like wearing solid colors with them might. some patterns or larger repeating designs might be okay if they were a bit pale/faded. I listed pink, orange, red, brown, sage and gold as colors that I thought could be pulled out of them last post, although looking closer I see a lot of pinks/lavender-lilac and some yellow-greens.
Maybe other patterned accessories could work with them? good luck lolitas! i'm excited for coords.

Wondered if I could get any thoughts on this. The necklace is a fair bit longer and the bow's bigger, but you get the idea.

>>6859069
any suggestions on the wig? I was thinking about pic related but I would prefer to find something a little more affordable.
(also I really really like the heart glasses, s-sorry)

Trying to coord IW's merry-go-round jsk and this is what I've got so far.

Took the advice of >>6848814 and tried to find a pink blouse to match, but I haven't had any luck finding that specific color. I did find this bolero though, but I'm not sure how easy it will be to get a hold of. I'd also like to get a pair of stockings in the same pink color.

Any input?

>>6860744
That bag is fucking cute, link, please?

>>6858032
If you want to go for a royal/princess type theme get one of these blouses to go with it.

Is this in autosage?

I have the Fantasic Dolly skirt in red,full set and I have found lots of ways to coord it. However my boyfriend wears Aristocrat and wants to match me when I wear this skirt (the rest of my wardrobe is gothic or bittersweet so it's easy for him to match it most of the time), but I'm not sure how to coord together without him looking tacky with the brighter red colour. Any ideas?

>>6864314
White shirt with a red tie?

>>6864314
I would suggest that his outfit be mostly black and white with red accents. The accents depend on what "style" of aristocrat he dresses. (IE some people have a very j-rock influence or look like they walked straight out of Godchild, some are more historical, more masculine, androgynous, etc.). So what accents you guys choose depend on what overall look he's going for.

Try and sneak in as much red as possible since, like you said, too much of the shade would be overpowering. Some possible suggestions:

-Men's jewelry/accessories with ruby-colored rhinestones.
-Put a red rose on his hat if he has one.
-A jabot with a red stone/rose as an accent
-Get a menswear-inspired bag that has a red accent. AatP's briefcase-ish Masquerade letters bag is a good example of this. The lining is red and the bag has a charm with a red rose on it.

>>6835199
Haha I'm pretty much in the same boat as you, anon. This is my first dress and my first coord was very safe/basic, tried to do something with Country. Now I'm stuck.

>>6835218
>>6835262
I never though about using sage for this dress!

>>6864331
Thank you anon, that really helps. He's into a more masculine historical, but wears Alchemy Gothic jewelry. Do you think a red cravat with a ruby pin would work with a black shirt? He'll probably be wearing a black Rolando anyway so you won't see much of his shirt. I'll try and work round him really, I usually have a vintage feel to my outfit when I wear this and that will look an odd juxtaposition. So, red cravat/jabot, ruby pin and cufflinks and... well he has his ear pierced so maybe a ruby earring? I don't want him to look silly is all ha

Does anyone have advice on what sort of accessories/blouse would go well with this?

>>6864570
I own the same jsk. Though I've only worn it out once sofar, one time toned down and another with a full coord. I've coordinated it with pink and mint so far. I'd like to do something with sax later on, but there's only a bit of blue in the kitty's eyes. IMO pink looks the best and contrasts well against the mint. As far as accessories goes, the dress and headbow has a lot of pearls. I like wearing a pink pearl necklace and something smaller with a little gold in it since the print contains some gold detailing. For socks, I think anything with cute bows or lace details would look really cute!

>>6835181

Trying to plan an outfit for an upcoming convention. Not sure how over the top I want to go with it just yet, but know I want to wear this new print. Also not sure if the brown in the print will match the brown I already have for some items. If it does, I have another set of options for shoes, blouse and headwear.

I fully admit I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing and put myself upon the mercy of the loli gods to teach me the way of the coord.

Also, I'm having trouble finding a bag to go with this.

I like the bottom right coordinate. I think boots would go better with this dress. The other one is ok, but this dress isn't super princessy so the sandals and the bell sleeves just don't go. The choker you're using for the bottom two is really cute, though.

I'm not 100% convinced that it would look ok with black, but I'll figure that out when mine gets here.

I figured black might work because the photos make the dark, polka dot part look like it's black, or close to it. Also, the cats themselves are black in that version of the print.

I guess it'll be easier to tell when it gets here and I can try everything on together, though. For all I know, what I see as black on my screen is actually just another, darker shade of green.

Here's my coord. I'm still working on it and it's far from OTT, but I've slowly been building up jewelry and looking for a headpiece. I'm waiting on the VM replica boots from clobba for this coord, but I'm definitely keeping the blouse and stockings.

I impulse bought this on the comm sales in blue and red, and have no idea how to coord this into a sweet style.
Help?

Oh my, it's been a while since I posted that.

I honestly don't remember at this point, but it was a designer bag around of 200-300 USD. I had just used it as an example for the kind of bag I was looking for. Sorry

...do what's in your pic and wear the apron with a skirt and blouse instead of a dress?

>>6878474
I think you need to decide which colour you're making your accent. The blue in alice's dress, the pink of the roses, the red of the trumps... pick one and go from there! I personally really love the boots you picked, because of the pink and bordeaux blend that picks up both the reds, but your blue shoes also work well.

Also I feel like your dress is off white but your blouse is white which looks a little clashy. You've picked up on the off white in your tights though, which looks good!

>>6882649
Aw, that's a shame. I think it's stunning!

>>6878474
When I saw your pic I immediately thought of this style of bag!
Also, aspects of the design are kind of similar - she's matched brown bag and shoes to each other and her wig (although that could be a touch darker imho) and then picked red as her accent colour in her neckbow and wrist cuffs. You could do something similar with yours!

Yeah. I need to get on the group order from Clooba for the large size shoes since I run about a US10. It's still only at 18/80 though, so it'll be a while. Yes, the dress is an odd white/cream color. Sadly the blouse is the only thing I had to coord with it at the time. I want to find something in a similar style, but in more of a cream color. I'm hunting around at different thrift shops first.

I'm looking at bags, and I don't know why it didn't cross my mind to look at clobba's bags. I'm wondering if the cream or red alice book would work? I feel if I went with the boots, I should go with the cream so my boots and bag don't clash. Did find a couple other possible bags, but I just don't know about the red in them. Not to mention the quality of them. I did however find these shoes at a G-Stage yesterday. I figured they'd be a good candidate if I wasn't feeling up to wearing heels.

I'm not really sure how i can coord it. Anyone have any ideas? Also I was thinking of cross earrings.

What's the name of that dress? I have some tights that could go with it.
