Red shoes would've been better

>>7941459
I don't really like that she has cherries on her socks but strawberries on her dress.

>>7941459
This just needs red shoes and it would be adorable.
>>7941477
The socks go fine with this, she just needs a pink blouse.

>>7941477
I love the socks, honestly. Agree with >>7941506
a pink blouse would be a lot better. Maybe some cute pink wristcuffs, too?

>>7941459
Should have gone with red shoes or a pair that's at least close enough to the sax(?) shade in her dress. the pnk shoes just blends into her socks.

>>7941477
shitty picture. i would have gone with shoes to match the blue in her jsk but i get why she went with pink shoes, especially if she already had them. again, shitty picture but did she put a whole bunch of white eyeshadow around her eyes?

>inb4 vendetta
i love this coord but i hate how she's styled that wig. it looks so awkward

>>7941480
>>7941506
agreed re: red shoes

as for the socks though, it's not that the colors don't match (seems like they do), but that she's mixing the diagonal stripes of the socks with the vertical stripes of the dress. maybe i'm just being an autist though.

>>7941506
>this whiteknighting
>nitpick thread

>>7941509
It honestly looks like white and maybe light blue to match the dress? Not good at all. I wish she had kept the eyes simple, her face is pretty cute.

>>7941510
I don't like the tights but I am honestly not sure why.

>>7941541
too busy with that print maybe

>>7941477
I'm glad I'm not the only one who was bothered by those things...

>>7941541
Probably the fabric and the pattern.

>>7941510
She really can't pull off "cute." She should stick to elegant and classic.
The fact that she's a 6 foot amazon with a mature face just makes her look like a trap.
>inb4 whiteknights pounce on me for stating the obvious

>>7941510
Is that an elbow tattoo?

The socks go well with the carnival theme of the dress. The stripes look really nice with it, they echo the movement of the carousel horses to the right, and match the dress in terms of color. Would love to see this with gold shoes and pink blouse.

>>7941521
that's not whiteknighting...

>>7941633
I have to agree, honestly, and I generally love Choke. She looks lovely here but going for cute isn't really her thing..

>>7941634
yes

sorry for enormous pic
but god why the ruff that doesn't match anything, and the lack of socks and the choice of shoes and the pink nails and the no hair accessories and

>captcha: poldryi and

>>7941737
That neckruffle is out of place with the coord.

>>7941459
Lots of people gave her concrit on CoF and she's taken it really well, and honestly for a first complete coordinate this was not a bad attempt and I personally wouldn't be embarrassed to be seen with her in public. She's got a really great attitude about lolita and I think she's gonna do well.

>>7941850
>honestly for a first complete coordinate this was not a bad attempt

My only issue is that she somehow did something just a bit off with a full set.

>>7941855
Well, there's still going to be some mismatching within sets if you don't select the right colorways. I remember her posting WTBs for the OTKs in white or mint and I guess these are the only one's she's been able to find so far; I know the pink ones weren't her first choice though.

>>7941867
Guess that's true. Milky berry is old as fuck.

>>7941871
Definitely. I owned the mint OP for a while and in that time I only saw one greasy yellowed headbow go up for sale (though to be fair I wasn't looking that hard for matching accessories because I wasn't in love with the dress).
Either way, OP is a fair nitpick and I'm glad the girl in the photo is genuinely open to concrit. More newbies should be like her.

>>7941878
Totally agree. She looks like she loves the style rather than the idea about being a kawaii lacey princess.

The reds.

>>7941894
A solid red or white tight would've looked much better. It's just too busy.

Is this thread open to self-posting or would the coord help one be better? I'd be interested in the straightforwardness.

>>7941905
Coord help.

>>7941641
Art student?

>>7941459
Red balances it out better imo

How the hell did this get 156 likes? Nothing really matches.

>>7942110
What do you mean nothing matches? Everything here goes, although I'm not keen on the tights or wristcuffs.

>>7942110
because totes kawaii rilakkuma and angelic pretty and asian girl. why so surprised?

>>7941871
Lol, have you been into lolita for just a year then?

>>7942110
because she is asian, cof is full of webaos, itas and anime fan gurls who loves japan and asia stuff

>>7941894

>>7942110
>>7942118
If the socks were gold and ivory instead of brown and gold maybe I wouldn't mind the harlequin print. Why the pink and random deco accessories? The hat and star clips would have been fine. Really hate the blouse - I get she's trying to pull navy but it isn't working with the rest of the shit she has going on. Black wristcuffs. Rilakkuma is too saturated for the dress. She's really cute and I love her makeup and wig but everything is ita as fuck

Everyone keeps saying they love the disgusting yellow blazer. Why would you pair chocolate rosette with fucking yellow?

>>7942151
I was just debating on liking this picture or not. I think the coord is cute, but that blazer is all the wrong kinds of color.

>>7942145
YES, thankyou! The socks are too busy for how busy the print is. and the rilakkuma is way too random.

>>7942151
Isn't this that obnoxious girl who tried to post a friend seeking post in the lolita general and got told to fuck off?
Sure looks like her.

>>7942151
I agree, plus the yellow blazer/gold bag are just not a good combination, they clash with each other so bad.

>>7942151
it's complimentary to navy, the gold acessories are too much though since they're not the same tone even

>>7942151
Do you not understand color theory? Yellow and blue look great with each other... you can't go wrong with all the primary colors. If she used a red bag I think it would have made it more balanced

>>7942167
The blazer is not the right shade for the dress.

>>7942171
This.

>>7942171
disregarding the girl's outfit, what complementary shade of yellow would you use instead to work for navy then? maybe it's my computer screen but navy works better with that yelloworange than a bright yellow. the red in chocolate rosette also uses dark red, which is analogous to yelloworange

sorry i just like it when lolitas use primary colors instead of sticking with safer color palettes

>>7942140
>webaos
??????

>>7942194
here's kind of what i'm talking about

>>7942194
>>7942198
I totally get you don't get me wrong but the yellow stripes on the navy dress is actually cream coloured, the mustard yellow blazer and the golden bag just ruins how it should be presented. If the cream stripes wouldn't be there, the yellow you're mentioning would be perfect.

>>7942194

A lighter yellow.

You disregard that her whole dress is covered in a slew of other colours, including red and gold, and she's also already carrying a pale gold bag. The yellow-orange clashes with everything other than the navy and brown, that's why it's hard on the eyes.

>>7942151
I tried

>>7942200
ah that makes sense. i thought the cream stripes were actually gold, which matched the bag

>>7942151
If I recall correctly this is the same girl that used the same blazer for honey cake and it matched the yellow on her dress. It might be poor lighting contributing to the weird color since CRs navy isn't that dark IRL. I'll see if I can find it

>>7942228
This one? It has a filter on it but if this is closer to what it looks like then it's much better than the orange in >>7942151

>>7942110
KAMMIE DID IT FIRST

>>7942228
This one? It has a filter on it but if this is closer to what it looks like then it's much better than the orange in >>7942151

>>7942238
Yep, that's the one! It looks closer to >>7942203 than
>>7942198 which is why it was bugging me.

>>7942205
Navy, gold, and red look the best.

>>7942151
gurl those roots ain't attractive

>>7942237
I honestly thought it was kammie at first.

>>7942151
Because yellow is a complimentary color to navy. I think it looks really nice, only the handbag throws me off a little.

>>7941894
Her nails are disgusting...

>>7941894
The wristcuffs and ring are completely random. She should have just gone with all black at that point.

>>7942205
looks 800% better, thank

>>7942151
Strangely reminds me of this coord which uses a fucking tartan jacket on a chocolate print. Here if she used red bag and shoes, the yellow blazer might've worked.

>>7941894
Argh!

>>7942287
>>7942237
i think they're friends actually. the rilakkuma stuff is also likely because she works some sort of mascot event.

personally i don't really like her coords, they always seem to be lacking cohesiveness.. but that's just me.

>>7942558
This looks insanely cute, I don't see the problem with tartan at all I like the mixed patterns

>>7942558
It's the same girl though isn't it? The tights are the same.

they all seem so nitpick-y

>>7942992
I will find that wig. And I will kill it.

>>7942992
At least John Belushita seems to have gotten slightly better.

Ever so slightly, that is.

>>7942992
Left--interesting idea with the wig, don't think it really fits the dress though. Needs more appropriate hair accessories, too.
Center--pairing the red and white dress with black looks dumb to me, it would be perfect if those were white.
Left--outfit is fine for a chubby girl, but she needs a more flattering hairstyle soooo badly. It makes her look like a bald man the way it is.

>>7943050
I'm convinced that that "chubby girl" is a man.

>>7943030
>>7942992
She would wear a wig jesus. She looks like Bruce Bilagow lmao

>>7942992
Left needs a better wig. I like the idea behind it, but it doesn't look good with the coord.
Center needs better stockings. Maybe a solid color.
Right needs to change everything except for the dress, so more ita than nitpick but at least she's improving.

>>7943076
I heard her talk at the event, pretty sure she's a she, but I don't know her personally. She desperately needs to learn to wig and makeup if she doesn't want to get mistaken for a dude...

>>7943132
It can't be unseen now.

>>7941459
Different socks and/or shoes and she's grand. She's got a really adorable face.

>>7941510
I love this. Maybe I'm blinded by her beauty, though.

>>7942141
Nah, the themes don't match at all.

>>7942157
Yeah, it's too busy with shoes, bag and shoes in all different colors.

>>7943360
The colors is what the original anon had their jimmies rustled about, I can't make her dress differently.

>>7942558
I don't like this, either. Mixing tartan with ANY other pattern is just almost impossible to pull off.

>>7942992
THAT WIG ON THE LEFT OMG!
The coord looks more like cute/casual, what made her think this wig, put aside that it's hideous, would match?

>>7941477
Hi op here thanks for the constructive criticism and for not being too mean. I only have pink black and white tea parties atm and didn't want to order any from bodyline because of the recent hack. Thanks again for being gracious ;)

>>7941509
For future reference may I ask what is considered shitty? My posture the lighting or the setting? I want to improve so if you could give me specifics that would be cool!

>>7944759
Different anon, but general photo quality. Poor lighting is one thing, but a direct flash is never flattering for anyone.

>>7944760
Thanks! It was raining outside when I wanted to take pictures :(((( but my boyfriend took these so I'll let him know to lay off the flash next time and instead set up some lighting!

That hair pice kills it for me, does not match anything.
Chuck in a random clock bag, why not?!
While the collar and front of the blouse look really nice, the sleeves make it look like a basic t-shirt.
500 notes? Come on tumblr, I know you like cats, but this is ridiculous.

>>7944890
Tumblr notes mean nothing. Half those people will just be "OMG DAT CAT DRESS <3". The brown and black don't work together IMO.

True... its just the dress and the tights

>>7942558
>>7943375
I think she pulled it off very well. I like this one.

>>7944798
Try putting a white index card in front of the flash, or something else to help diffuse the light. Flash tends to make photos look harsh, and a softer light is way more flattering and will keep things like highlighting make-up from popping too much (I suspect your make-up looks really cute in person, but the flash is making the highlights around your eyes much more white than they should be).

>>7944941
That's really good advice! He just got a new DSLR camera and is kind of lost on how to use all the diffrent functions so I'll let him know about that trick! And yeah like I didn't put on too much white like it seems on the photo but I liked my posture and how well you could see the coordinate in this picture which is why I chose this to post over one that made my make up look less vibrant but cut out the shoes or had blurred the print ect. Thank you for your posotivity and suggestions! !

>>7941459
Chubby/fat people shouldn't wear lolita only thin is cute

>>7945547
nice b8 m8

ugly face + ugly hair
lots of pastel bears on the print but "yeah sure, give me the brown teddy"

>>7945600
dat cheappo accesories
And that poor girl trying to pirate

I'm getting Raggedy Ann vibes because of the wig and socks...

>>7946175
she looks like a lolita ronald mcdonald
i'm so confused by this coord even if it's not my taste, i still see them as cute.

She should get a better wig, and shoes. if she wore cute black boots or something, the socks wouldn't look so bad imo

>>7946175
it also looks like she's... copy and pasted onto the picture?

>>7942593
Nope. That's Arthael.

>>7946257
No it doesn't, she just looks really out of place and the photo was taken from a high angle.

>>7946275
Arthael ? it's Joana/redtonic

Wtf is this, there is just way too much going on, and is she even wearing a petticoat? there is absolutely no shape and it just looks sad. I don't think this would look good on a skinny gorgeous girl either.

>>7946356
I really like this.

>>7946356
She got best coord at a btssb tea party for an outfit that was equally as busy. They liked that it had so many parts. I like her style.

>>7946356
It's too busy/OTT for my taste, but at least everything matches in color scheme and theme. I think she needs a better petticoat and a different bag.

>>7946356
Everything I hate about what lolita is turning into.

>>7946356
I love this and the colours but the bag needs to go and I would say it is more dolly kei than lolita.

>>7947384
So fat girls?

>>7947422
Anon could just mean the tea length dress/under skirt/busy head dress/who the fuck knows. No need to jump to conclusions.

>>7946175
I think it matches the Circus theme.

>>7946175
I never like this wig on her, but it is a cute coord if she wasn't hunching over!

>>7946175
she needs white gloves, and to style the wig differently- otherwise it matches the theme and isn't horrendous.

>>7946356
I don't like the silhouette, the combination of busy at the top and bottom and that stretch of nothing but dress in the middle makes her look misshapen.
If those ankle things were removed then the tea length would be perfectly fine, it's that extra shit and volume at the feet that throws me off.

>>7947454
No need for a sense of humor either apparently.

>>7944890
the headdress and blouse look the worst to me, the bag isn't too bad, could be better though.

I saw this on tumblr...I'm not a fan of the underskirt, and the tights are awful

>>7941932
2/10 photoshop skills

>>7951611
Underskirts being noticeably less full than skirts is my biggest pet peeve. I get what she was trying to do with the tights and it almost worked before i clicked on the thumbnail. Pity too, because it would've been a pretty fantastic coord imo.

>>7951611
I think the underskirt was done right, bu man I feel you re: the tights. this is one instance where she miiiight have been able to get away with plain red/white vertical stripes tights, but that weird blue shit matches nothing and looks so cluttered and busy

>>7951977
