mori*

Meh, looks not that bad, just a little plain for mori

Liked this one, but I think her former coords were better

>>6973324

Yeah, most of her pictures had rather bad co-ords, and you just posted the best one of the bunch.

>>6973343
But...I like her ! She did a quite good job with casual loli, why is she not food anymore ?

Not D_L exactly, but I've seen this photo doing the rounds and the coord getting praised, but that collar just looks so awkward and out of place.
Why.

>>6973559
That dress is beautiful, though! Is it MM?

>>6973569
It is.

>>6973559
It's because it does have 'rare' brand. The collar is totally out of place, the make up is not really good and blue shoes or even white ones would have been better.

>>6973597

Agreed.
Her shoes are cute but the wrong color.
The collar doesn't work with this co-ord at all.
If she changed the shoes, replaced the collar with a necklace this would have been a very nice co-ord imo.
The dress itself is stunning.

>>6973538
Because cannibalism is illegal.

I thought it was nice, but the tassel didn't do anything for me.

A bit plain but cute

I really like the op apart from the random black choker, I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be mori+classic anyways and not straight mori or classic.

>>6973559
What's up with this chick's face?

>>6981067
that's the chick who runs One Day in Paradise, mariko-sempai or something

>>6981064
I think it's more brown than black tought

>>6973559
She looks just as crazy as she is

>>6981072
Still is out of place, pink or white lace or nothing would have been better

>>6981071
Her name's Marie, she's so sweet in person!

>>6981092
Hi Mariko

>>6973070
Dayum. She looks like a typical Goth trying to ease herself into something very toned down, like she can't quite grasp the overall look and is too used to her usual makeup techniques. Still, there's potential.

>>6981092
If yelling at volunteers at a supanova booth for something they didn't do wrong is "Sweet" I think you're mistaken.

>>6973243
Mori is meant to be simple...

>>6981213
I think anon wanted to say "plain" as "polished". Mori is wilder than lolita, and need more work to look at the same time simple but well put

>>6981056
Needs a bit of makeup, but I think it's cute.
Also, I love the picture on the left. Does anyone know the title or the artist?

>>6981104
>into goth before lolita
>daily lolita post comments are all "tone down the make up! It's too dark for lolita!"
>trends change and suddenly comments are now "your make up is too subtle, needs more drama."
>mfw

And there's a reason I stopped posting to Daily Lolita. Can't please everyone ever and I'd rather just please myself.

>>6981277
>>6981104

lolita makeup seems to be dewy, soft, etc, in a way that toned down more severe makeup isn't. this with the brown looks a little bit 90's to me - it's not bad but in comparison to other lolita makeup. basically i'm saying it's too american, i think. sounds kind of stupid but makes sense maybe?

>>6981193
oh god what? which supernova?

it isn't fair for one person to be this perfect.

>>6982405
I make myself feel better by thinking that she looks awful without wigs. She is the perfect example of how a hairstyle can change the way someone looks.

>>6982414
>have awful looking pollack hair
>wish I could wear wigs all the time
>get massive amounts of attention when I wear wigs
>see this post
>mfw

It's true, but then again that can also be said for girls who wear makeup, shapewear, and high heels. If you dig deep enough for a flaw you'll probably get one.

>>6982414
her natural hair is fine, which can make it look a bit thin, but i don't think there's anything particularly wrong with it
>comparing wigs with crazy volume with real hair
>expecting them to look the same
>just wants to find flaw with someone

>>6982458
I think long hair suits her better than her weird stiff looking short hair.

>>6982464
lmao my natural hair isn't short, are you thinking of katzixx?
this photo is from may so it's actually a decent amount longer now

>>6982479
your natural hair is rather boring. it's just straight and normal. :C

>>6982485
lol well yeah, but it isn't short
i'm awful with styling actual hair

>>6982479
Oh. Maybe you had your hair tied. I saw a picture of you where it looked like you had short bobbed hair that was straightened and styled with gel. I like you with long hair and it suits you well.

>>6982485
It is a hime cut and many Japanese lolitas have it like Misako.

>>6982479
Your face confuses me. When you wear the big Antoinette like wigs, you look feminine and elegant but when you use your real hair, you look plain and masculine. I am confounded.

>>6982493
>It is a hime cut and many Japanese lolitas have it like Misako.

no shit sherlock. i've been to Japan before and know hairstyles. i think hime would do well with casual lolita for her, but definitely not classic or gothic.

>>6982498
i bounce around a lot with how i do my makeup and my bangs were way overgrown in that picture
in the photo with the white wig i did very girly/pink makeup, while in the second i did something more like my day to day look with stronger lipstick and eyeliner
i'm a very normal looking person who likes to play with my face is all haha

>>6982498
I think it's because the hime cut hides her cheekbones, which are very high and feminine.

>>6982521
Got it. I love the girlier look on you, personally. That is pretty cool that you can change your look that much.

>>6982479
get your hair out of your eyes

>>6982513
I have a hime cut but I put decorative braids in it or wear a more ornate headdress to dress it up.

>>6982479
I agree that your hair is a bit plain. I'd suggest braiding or styling part of it or something to dress it up a bit.

I like itaqueen's hairdo the way it is. It looks good with gothic lolita.

>>6981277
I'm in the same boat anon. My usual makeup is too dark for lolita, but I just look weird in natural makeup. Oh well, as long as I keep away from the black lipstick it's passable.

Daily Lolita seems so dead. Do you think it is because of Tumblr? Do you guys prefer DL or Tumblr?

>>6982485
>>6982498
>>6982596
there is not only one type of lolita and hairdo. I think she looks ok in both pics; really, can't imagine what are you all thinking when you tell someone that the only acceptable hair with volume.

>>6982751
I posted in one of the other threads, but the big reason why I don't post in DL is because I feel that if you post anything there, it is like immediately putting yourself up for discussion, scrutiny and critique by the community at large. For someone who doesn't like to draw too much undue attention to myself, I ironically find tumblr to be a more comfortable format. A lot of stuff gets lost on tumblr easily, whereas on something less posted to, like DL, it's a bit more "LOOK AT ME" since it stays up longer. Most of my stuff gets a handful of reblogs (unless it's wardrobe additions) and I'm fine with that.

A lot of times when I post my coords to my tumblr, I look at them for personal reference on what didn't work, what did work, different poses that work and look terrible, areas where I need to improve and expand my wardrobe. There are certain things I can't do much about, for example, being busty with a wide rib cage. Losing weight has helped, but I won't ever have a tiny waiflike frame. I don't have a perfect face, but I'm confident enough in what I have. I just don't need people to tell me here or on BTB that I'm a landwhale (after losing a ton of weight and being so close to my goals), or that my face is too mature for sweet, or nit picking little things here and there which I'm probably aware of. I do have an additude of IDGAF, but I'm not really up for sticking my neck out in that sort of way. Maybe this will change in the future, but I'm not feeling it now.

WHY IS THIS BITCH WEARING LEOPARD PRINT WITH THAT BEAUTIFUL DRESS???????????

>>6982405
where the blouse at?
>dat filename tho

>>6982751
I like to cross post using 1-2 apps like Instagram for a coord pic, which can easily cross post to Tumblr. Or I just post on Tumblr if I want to keep the 3:4 cellphone pic ratio.

>>6982851
> not knowing ita queen
> 2013

Welcome to /cgl/, also.

>>6982863
uhhhh it was more like the irony of the whole 'no blouse = ita' mentality that floats around

>thx 4 comin out tho

>>6982851
Fuck blouses.

>>6982851
they're not 100% mandatory for every jsk ever
(ps: it was LA in July and I'm from Canada and not into heat stroke)

>>6982869
You don't get it do you? The girl in the photo is the one who trips here as itaqueen.

SUMMER TIME

>>6982875
youmissedthejoke.jpg

sage cos you're an idiot lmao

mydarlinglessie's post was good. I enjoyed all of her outfits and she suits classic lolita.

>>6982821
I'm not a fan of leopard either but I liked her other coordinates.

>>6982772
This is exactly how I feel too. We also share the same body type, and I've just lost a lot of weight.

>Were we separated at birth?

>>6982821
Did jahr lose weight? She still isn't skinny but I remember her looking more chubby.

>>6982772
That's weird that you prefer Tumblr. I'm scared of Tumblr because my images will stay there forever even if I delete my account. At least with LJ, I can delete my posts any time.

>>6982821
>the hat
>the leopard print
>the little tiny table

wat

>>6982887
it looks nice, and the hat is great, but the outfit seems too classy to wear with oxfords. nice heels or heeled boots would look nicer. regardless it's nice to see a classic coordinate with a hat that goes perfectly with the dress!

>>6982904
I can see what you mean. I actually liked the oxfords a lot because it gave it a casual flair to the outfit. I would have never though about wearing oxfords, specifically non-heeled ones, with that outfit but she made it work for me.
Different strokes for different folks.

This girl's outfits were cute but her face is so unfortunate. It looks like someone squashed down on it.

>>6982921
What? I think her face looks fine.

>>6982921
it's just babby fat

>>6982898
>At least with LJ, I can delete my posts any time.
Assuming some fucker didn't save your photos to re-post 5 years later on /cgl/...
>mfw

>>6982821
I got that she was trying something different but it didn't work for me at all and she's one of my favorite Lolitas. Tsk tsk tsk Jahrhundert. But this coord and her Royal Chocolate coord were flawless.

>>6982887
Classic lolita queen. Loved her post. It was nice seeing older people back on Daily Lolita again.

>>6982921
She has nice legs and arms but her head does seem a little weird as if her neck is too long and her head is the same length as her neck. She has a cute face though so I don't know what you're picking on anon.

>>6982921
>>6982887
i hate this 2 faces actually, the first one looks like a goblin and the second one like a bad witch. The coords are ok, but i don't like the ankle socks and oxfords in the second one, and the first one almost always coord the same colors (red X something else)

>>6973070
that outfit was weird but i thought this was good. fuck, anything compared to hildekitten or w/e her name is is better.

>>6982931
are you calling this girl classic queen? I smell samefag or friend.

me >>6982940 again but shit, i haven't been on daily lolita in over a year. thanks for bringing back memories cgl.

>>6982941
What I meant was that her classic lolita coordinates that she posted on Daily Lolita were good.

>>6982937
>goblin
>bad witch

CANNOT UNSEE ROFL

>>6982931
Love most of jahr's coords (though I agree the leopard print one is pretty rough), love her wardrobe- but goddamn, she always looks SO stiff and uncomfortable in her pictures that it makes me uncomfortable.

>>6982941
Where can I get that shirt?

>>6982921
I find her face cute in an odd way.

>>6982991
Agreed, I recognise her from the lolita Hadouken pictures that circulated on tumblr, and I thought she was cute even in that.

Different strokes different folks.

>>6982964
Same here. She's been posting outfits for a long time so you'd think she would have gotten the hang of it by now. I want to tell her to loosen up and help her with her posing.

>>6982931
Granny's couch turned into a lolita dress?

>>6983002
yup, and it's fabulous
welcome to classic lolita

PRINTED TIGHTS DONE RIGHT. Anyone else think that printed tights don't work with outfits at times? I haven't liked some of Herajika's outfits with printed tights and Infiniteneeya is guilty of overdoing them too.

>>6983027
This is one of herajika's outfits that came to mind where the tights don't work with the overall coordinate.

>>6983027
They almost never look right. I have a couple pairs of them but I just cannot figure out what to do with them ever.

I think this works better because the print is a little overwhelmed by the tights color, which is opposite of how the print on the dress pops on the stark white.

>>6983033
the purse doesn't go with it either.

>>6983027
I think the outfit would have looked better if her shrug was lavender but fuck, what was herajika thinking in that picture you posted? Those Grimoire tights need to go.

>>6983027
I like printed tights when they are paired with a plain/non-printed jsk/skirt. Otherwise it looks too busy to me.

>>6983033
A LOT of things look off in that picture. Whatever, herajika is still God.

>>6982931
Love the outfit but pic is ruined with that lens smudge.

>>6983077
her post mentioned it's a lens scratch, but yeah

>>6983077
She mentioned the smudge on her Tumblr and all I could think was "INVEST IN A NEW CAMERA INSTEAD OF GETTING A NEW DRESS"

>>6982880
god its so tumblr it burns

>>6983100
Shit, I'd rather have a new dress.

But I don't have a wardrobe like jahr...

when i saw that jahr is going to coordinate everything she owns
>my body is ready
wardrobe post part ii fyeah!

>>6983126
Me too. Isn't jahr a collector anyway? I'd think that she'd be more interested in getting another dress than a camera.

>>6983077
i must be blind because i have no idea what youre talking about, i dont see any scratch/smudge

>>6983126
>>6983158
This, plus lenses, depending on what you're getting, can be in the couple thousands- not a quick investment compared to 2-300 $ range dresses.

>>6983156
Yeah, basically seems like a head-start (or late) wardrobe post?

>>6983159
It's sort of in the center-left, you can see the light spot over the left side of her bodice (see how the black is very noticeable lighter on that side).

>>6983162
You've got cheap starter range lenses around the $100 mark.

Why is everyone into jahrhundert's wardrobe? It's not that impressive.

>>6982821
I fucking love it. She looks badass in it.

>>6982937
I think Lessie is gorgeous. I don't see the "witch" in her.

>>6982921
she looks like a troll

>>6982921
She probably looks better at another angle.
Either way not seeing what's so unfortunate about her face

Flower crown did well, do like.

>>6982479

I like long straight hair, no fuss kinda hair.
Absolutely hate those stupid ott wigs, would much rather see hair like yours.

>>6982479
i love your hair don't ever change it!!!

>>6982893
Jane slimmed down a long time ago. I think she lost her baby fat in her cheeks recently though. She looks more sleek and mature now.
I am glad to see her posting again. Sometimes she has a total miss, but they are offset by the fact that she has some amazing coords. I also love seeing lolis who really do wear their shit as real clothes and not just to cons and meets.

>>6983571
Gorgeous! I love flowers in people's hair.

>>6983571

The pearls are a bit kooky, but it matches the outfit's weirdness. Do like.

>>6983654
>>6982893
I don't think she lost weight but is using photoshop to make herself look smaller. Her body looks the same but her face looks smaller and she did admit to shooping.

>>6983670
I think it would have looked better if the pearls were placed a bit higher but yeah, she looks good.

>>6983654
>baby fat
you mean fat

>>6983654
What is wrong with wearing Lolita at cons and meets only?

>>6983706
Then it's a costume, not clothes.

>>6983706
I agree with this anon's >>6983712 sentiment. If you wear it only at cons an meets, what is the difference between that and a costume? I think con lolitas give lolitas a bad name since it perpetuates the idea that it is a costume.

>>6983706
Absolutely nothing. Just another excuse for people to point the finger and cry about how this is why people consider lolita a costume.
Correlation does not equal causation.
People consider lolita a costume far beyond the reason that people only wear it every so often. It's ridiculous.

>>6983720
A lot of people can't wear it every day though due to their job or other reasons, or maybe are too uncomfortable to go out in it alone and prefer to be with a group.
Just because you save an outfit for a special occasion doesn't make it a costume. Do you consider formal gowns and tuxedos costumes too? You probably wouldn't wear either of those on a daily basis or to work but nobody considers them costumes.

>>6983742
I would wear a tuxedo everyday if I had that many tuxedos or at least 14 of them.

>>6983747

>>6982931
She looks young. How old is she and how does she afford all that brand? I searched for her wardrobe post and she has two Iron Gates. If she had multiple Puppet Circuses, I would have busted a gut.

>>6983760
Old enough to have a job.

What kind of answers do people like you expect? Fucking stupid.

>>6983754
Don't hate on fedoras. Humphrey Bogart rocked those bitches.

>>6983771
People don't wear fedoras the same way anymore. They have to be worn with formal wear, but people always want to dress them down and then they look stupid.

>>6983767
Sugar daddy
Sugar mommy
Rich parents
Stripping
Selling your body

Not that any of these methods are bad but they appear to be the answers people want to hear.

>>6983775
Lolita fashion is formal wear. She's right to wear a fedora like that.

>>6983767
Because people half expect to hear answers like (>>6983785) and furthermore want to feel validated for also wanting the same for themselves.
How often do you hear girls say
>oh I want to go to uni for years and work my ass off in the career ladder so I can get a decent job to pay for brand
as opposed to
>ugh fuck I wish I had a sugar daddy or rich parents QQ
???
Yeah, you hear the latter way more often. People secretly want it for themselves and feel better for thinking that way if others have it too.

>>6983798
That is an interesting answer. I thought that people expect those answers because they wanted to make themselves feel better by saying "I worked hard for my brand and didn't have it handed to me."
I didn't realize until you pointed it out that there are many more sugar daddy threads than threads about dream jobs or current occupation. I agree with >>6983785 that none of those situations are bad and it is pathetic that people want to make themselves feel better by looking down on others. Who cares if someone worked hard for their brand or had rich parents who supported their hobby? Do they want a gold star for having a job?

>>6983789
I must have really missed something, is there a picture of a lolita with a fedora in this thread or something?

>>6982513
But hime cuts look great in both classic and gothic.

>>6983027
Cute as a button.

>>6983678
But I had baby fat in my face until I was 19, so it's not too farfetched. A few people mentioned it looked like I'd last weight after I graduated high school, when really I haven't fluctuated from the 110-115 range since I was 12.

>>6983775
Since when is a fedora a formal hat? Fedoras are casual hats.
It is a top hat that needs a tux. I have never seen a tux worn with a fedora.
