why do people put the shoes right on the dress..

[Anonymous No.8592096]

>>8592095
It's not really an issue if they're new shoes, or you're not dirty as fuck and actually clean/wipe off the bottoms of your shoes.

[Anonymous No.8592098]

Could I get some opinions on this, please?

I need to have it in my hands and next to the gold pieces before I really decide, but I know that it has gold glitter on it so I was thinking it might look nice!

I'm trying to come up with a coord for Rufflecon. I really wanted to wear this piece, but I'm a little lost on legwear, a purse, and general accessories. Any feedback would be really appreciated!

[Anonymous No.8592546]

>>8592216
I really like this anon, it has restrained elegance going for it. A subtly themed brooch at the neckline could be a nice touch perhaps and then maybe a couple of elegant rings.

Make sure you do a solid job with hair and make-up and I think you have a winner here.

Thanks anon! Any suggestions for hairstyles? I usually just throw on a wig and call it a day.

Also pic related is how I usually do my makeup for bigger events. Would this be ok? It's a little hard to see because of the high contrast, but I have gold accented on the inside of my eyes and on my lips. I guess that could help bring out the gold on the bag and in the print.

[Anonymous No.8593018]

>>8592989
Different anon but I think your makeup would go really well! I like the dark lipstick, it's a nice way to accent the brown in the pattern.
This coord is lovely anon, I can see it really clearly in my head. Like the other anon mentioned, a brooch or an antique gold chain necklace will look nice.
I think an updo would be nice, a loose bun with some longer pieces hanging down like the wig shown with the headdress, or pic related. That's what I'm imaging at least.
Good luck anon!

I don't know about you but in my household we clean off our shoes every time we come in the house and the shoes are never worn in the house. Basically you never bring any outside filth inside the house.

P.S. Not American so that might have something to do with it.

slightly off-topic, but how the hell do I coord pic related in red/blue? (more for otome or normalfag than lolita, but you all are good at outfits, so here we are)

Yes, but I've seen people saying that this makes you look like you are wearing a onesie under the JSK.

[Anonymous No.8593132]

>>8593115
If the two are distinctly different textures, it should be fine. If you're wearing a solid white blouse with solid white tights, maybe not, but a chiffon black top with black lace tights should be fine.
Just make sure they don't look like they could be attached. Or get otks instead so you can have some skin to break up the colors.

[Anonymous No.8593919]

I want to do a hime themed coord with this JSK, what would you recommend ontd? would no socks and a sandal type shoe work?

[Anonymous No.8593954]

>>8593872
It's a good start, but there are a few details which could be done better:
replace boots with oxford ankle boots
replace tights some striped lace tights
the beret would be cool with some green bows on it (maybe you can make then yourself)

[Anonymous No.8593960]

>>8593954
now that I'm thinking more about it, I think replacing the tights with white OTKs would be better
since there are white stripes on the cravat, the white has to be repeated somewhere in the outfit.

[Anonymous No.8593964]

>>8593954
I actually own these shoes do you think they would work?

Green bows would also be nice thanks for the duggestion!

The stripes on the tie appear silver irl than white.

Much better anon! Now you just have to find better legwear. The lace pattern of the tights is just too clashy imo.

[Anonymous No.8593984]

That's fair I will keep hunting for some that I like then. Do you think I should keep with the lace idea though?

Regimental stripe socks a la Jane Marple would be perfect, but finding socks like this are nearly impossible.

The shoes and bag make this look very childish and standard. Pair with brown heels and bag that isn't a cutesy shape.
Burn the socks because you're better than that.

Working on a hogwarts themed coord for halloween, but i'm stuck on what i can do to make it a little more fancy, any advice? Skirt and cardigan are close but not exact, I just don't have photos of the actual items.

[Anonymous No.8595636]

Well, I had an idea... and then it went out the window because my wig clashes with the dress. So now I opted for a more subtle one (Lockshop's Slyph) but I have no clue what to put on my head since my original wig was a twintail and I was going to play off both sides.

Sorry about the shoes everywhere, my cats were chasing each other around my closet while I was trying to do this

This is almost embarrassing because it looks so simple, but I got this Milk skirt in pink and it's made of this amazing thick cotton, but it's got a thick elastic band on top. What top looks best with this kind of skirt? A baggy pastel sweater? Something fitted would look awkward, wouldn't it?

I'm sorry if this is idiotic, but I'm trying to get a decent visual of what looks good.

Sauce on the bag and underskirt?

[Anonymous No.8596750]

I don't know if this would be better for here or another thread, as it's not specifically coord-matching but wardrobe building, but I need to add an ivory bag to my wardrobe and I need opinions picking between these two:

1st choice
>http://www.ebay.com/itm/Women-Shoulder-Bag-Lady-Faux-Leather-Hand-Bag-Bow-Knot-Satchel-Fashion-Body-Tote-/371347435078
2nd choice
>http://www.ebay.com/itm/Casual-Womens-Princess-Tide-Soulder-Messenger-bags-Fashion-Candy-bow-handbag-/201332357347

The 1st one seems more like a true ivory and is a bit smaller so it won't crush my skirt, but I'm not totally sold on the look of quilted bags with lolita.

The 2nd one seems like a much darker beige than ivory but I think it would match some of my dresses because of that. I like the shape too, and it's bigger. But maybe too big? Also costs over twice as much.

Which one do you vote, gulls? For reference I wear classic, lots of IW in ivory/beige/brown/black/jewel tones. Thank you for any help!

I recently bought this vintage dress hoping that it could be used in an otome coord. I can't seem to find a nice mustard cardigan to match the mustard in the dress, any links would be greatly appreciated. I've never made an otome coord before so Concrit/general help would be nice.

Try to add in some accessories in the same color as the lace around the skirt. The tights are too stark. I'd go for pink or that same goldish color. I'd like to see an up do (like a big bun) and goldish accents along the hair to mimic sparkles.

[Anonymous No.8597003]

>>8596750
Personally, I like the first one a lot more. I think the second one does look a bit too big.

I just got Btssb's My sweet mate kumya trick or treat jsk in brown. I want ro make a cute halloween voord with this, and i have some cute brown boots from IW that i thought I'd wear with it, plus I wanna make a custom brown witch hat to go with it(maybe add some pink flowers?)

That's about as far as I've gotten. Does anyone have any suggestions on what type/color blouse, legwear, hat decorations to wear? This print is even more amazing in person then what you see online and i want to do it justice.

I recently got this Dear Celine OP.
Does anyone have any suggestions for cardigans that might suit it? I'd really like to wear it this winter and the crew neck cardigans I have don't work with the neckline....

[Anonymous No.8598395]

>>8598349
You definitely need a v neck cardigan or an open knit bolero that will sit under the collar

>>8598203
Definitely high collared, and not too much detail around the neck unless you want it to be very busy.

>>8597599
Brown x pink witch sounds super cute! Could you get a pink pumpkin bag?

>>8596646
Floral tights, if you can find them in colours complimenting the dress, and dark brown lace up boots

>>8595683
I think it depends on your body shape. I'm quite pear shaped so I usually try and wear things that are fitted to my torso as otherwise I look shapeless and horrible. I would wear a waist length cutsew that just covered the waistband, or a fitted top and cover the waistband with a belt

>>8594949
I think the cardigan and flat shoes will automatically make it look more casual, so I think it'll be your makeup, hair and accessories that will help you look fancier. Even with a Hogwarts theme there is some pretty awesome, fancy jewellery you can get that's fitting to the theme

>>8594433
You have too much going on. Black socks and navy main pieces, socks and a blazer that are more uniform inspired than circus, and red with a dress that has a lot of pink.... nope. I'd start again and go for either plain navy colour or a bold stripe with the blazer, if you want the red in there then you'll need more red elements to make it really intentional, and the socks need to go and be replaced by patterned themed ones or at least a more appropriate colour. You need to sort out your shit before you think about accessories.

[Anonymous No.8598642]

>>8598395
I was thinking a v-neck actually, maybe a chunky one in red?
Also, I didn't buy the headbow (I find them uncomfortable) so I'm a little unsure of what type of hair accessory to use.

Bought Pumpkin Cat's Whales With Bulbous Heads OP in navy.

Tif your bag is WAY too small, it makes you look even larger in comparison. You need to work on your proportions and color balance.

[Anonymous No.8599065]

>>8598395
Thanks for the feedback. You're right, I was trying to force a lot of stuff into this coord but didn't realize it at the time. I thought the red was more prominent on the dress. Now that I have the dress, what I thought was red is actually orange. I don't want to force another color to an already busy dress. I'm going to look at more circus-theme coords and coords of this jsk for inspiration.

>using my name like we're friends...spelled incorrectly at that
Clearly we must not be seeing as how no one calls me Tif, but I digress

I thought the bag was a lot bigger when I bought it, so I'll probably be scrapping it for a larger one. In terms of color balance, it would be more helpful if you actually gave specific concrit as opposed to vague generalizations

Have you ever considered a bolero or cardigan? Don't like puffed sleeves, make your arms look bad. Also that hair looks bad on you, you need something fuller. I'd recommend a short curly bob cut wig. The tights look ok but would need more white in the upper half of the coord.

I think a bow clip. Colour will depend on the colour of your hair - I imagine the main colours of the dress will show up better on light hair, red will pop on any colour although may make the outfit very red heavy at the top, and white will obviously show better on darker hair

>>8598975
Probably from scratch, I've only seen the cheap plastic ones they sell to kids for candy in hot pink rather than baby pink. Maybe find a good Halloween tute and make it from felt?

>>8594059
What colours do you want to coord it with? This blouse comes in red, blue and black as well.

>>8598661
You could do tan or chocolate brown shoes, or if you're set on navy vs gold I'd go navy with sax socks, cutesy chunky sea themed jewellery in pastels and a bunch of themed clips in the wig

The plain crew is just a uniqlo heattech thermal to layer under the jacket and obviously thermal tights under the socks won't be visible. I was trying for wine/white/gold. I'd probably add a gold necklace with anchor pendant and maybe a nautical rope bracelet with gold charms now that I look at it

[Anonymous No.8601607]

My comm is having an alice tea party and I wanted something comfortable to wear as it is in summer, plus I wanted to be able to wear the dress casually. I love the illustrations on this jane marple dress. I have long blonde hair so i pretty much never wear sax in lolita. Coording it in a more matchy-matchy way is with the aim to make the dress look less otome and more lolita, but do you think it's a lost cause? The silhouette is similar to some of innocent world's sack dresses but I would not classify this dress as lolita.
Otherwise I'll probably still get the dress and not wear it to meets because it's still cute as.

[Anonymous No.8601680]

This is a coord that I was working on as my first attempt at old school. I've been into lolita for probably two years and only just started buying this past December.
I know that my shoes are wrong, this was for a casual dinner meet, and I didn't get to buy my shoes yet. I needed help or time to buy the perfect shoes.
Bangs aren't cut because I literally just got the wig from a group order and I got excited and slapped it on.
I also feel like I am shit at cutting bangs. Will add another picture for proof.

I think that I might look like a sack because of my petticoat being pulled too high, but my dress' waist was too low for the petti not to be at least half exposed. I only have a bell shaped petticoat because I thought that "well that's the silhouette, I have it down!" And it looked good with my other dresses. I know I need to invest in an A-line. I just really seriously need help.
Was going to go to closet of frills but I didn't want too much ass-patting.

1) get a better bra- you look frumpy and saggy and you can see the outline. I don't think the dress fits
2) it looks weird around the waist (is it the petti?), you can roll pettis to decrease the length but definitely get an a-line
3) dress is really short on you, maybe go for a peeking bloomer effect if it's old school? But I think it's just too short for lolita. I've never had anything that short on me and I'm almost 5'9".
4) socks are acceptable but lace topped socks would be cuter (or the peeking bloomers)
5) the worst offenders are the shoooes, get some platforms or at least plain mary janes with a small heel. These are casual as well.
You seemed to have realised most of your problems so you're on the right track.

I think your wig looks pretty nice! It should be fine once the bangs are cut. However, the white tights and shoes combined with the short unpoofed skirt look more like maid cosplay than lolita.

I think this would be improved a lot just by adding white lace top knee socks and black platform heeled shoes.

I like the bangs honestly. I agree that the bangs in >>8601681 could use some work, but they're not awful. They just need a softer/cleaner edge. My biggest issue with this is that it's SO short. From the waist up I think this could look fine. Are you tall or something, or is this dress just super tiny? Other than that, I think you just need more accessories. Bag, wrist cuffs, etc. Ur a qt but please get a better dress.

Nah you're really cute
The lace on the headdress seems sort of cheap, I prefer cotton lace ones (for oldschool). Check out bodyline's rose one, it's surprisingly nice with thick cotton lace and it was only $8 when I got it. The lace on the dress is more of a modern look as well (embroidered lace) but that's not to say they didn't have some more delicate stuff then either. It's not bad, not cheap looking or anything, just not the most authentically oldschool if that's what you were going for. Doesn't matter too much I suppose.

[Anonymous No.8601716]

>>8601696
I think the dress is short, figures though. I only got it for 20usd.
I haven't started buying lolita bags yet, but that's because I don't have a grasp on what style I want to use most, and I buy for practicality since I am a bit of a poorchan, so I typically save up then wait for the perfect bargain. (I got triple tart full set for 200usd, as an example)
I'm still building my wardrobe, honestly.

[Anonymous No.8601718]

>>8601716
For oldschool a simple black or white satchel bag would work! That's why I love it.
Just stick to classy plain bags in basic shapes (eg. plain heart, satchel, bag with bows; no stuffed toys or anything) in the main colours your wardrobe is aiming toward. I guess the level of embellishment depends on your substyle as well but classic and gothic are a lot easier than modern/ ott sweet to find loliable bags and shoes for.

Bought this dress earlier in the summer and want to coordinate it for winter. The dress is a warm lavender, so I'm worried my purples won't match.

Eh, I'd just match it with complimentary tones like white, pink, and silver. Why bother matching?
If you wanted a particular hair bow to match you could go to the fabric store and find something that matches. Berets are easy to make.
It's not like mis-matched reds or anything, I think lavender looks ok not matchy.

Coording it darker might be kind of difficult, but you could try navy tights with elegant offwhite heels, and a smaller, offwhite bag. Try to keep the gold strictly in your jewelry if possible, and go for a darker colored wig.

a white blouse is a bad idea because random parts will show through. if you really want to use a blouse, use black.

the tights.. polkadots give off a playful feel while the dress does not. thematically, those two items do not match.

Your coord tastes seem to be a little sweeter than the dress itself.If you decide to carry on with those shoes, make sure to use more bows in the coord. If you use a black bonnet, but a gold bow inside. If you use a headbow, try to keep it not so sweet, more mature or flat.

I like the dress. I agree that you should get something that would be usable in your ideal wardrobe later (aka classic>>>ivory, sweet>>>pink) but honestly as a noob, your taste will probably change as you wear and see different things.
I think the coord looks good. I'd use pink otks to tie that shit together in the matchy-matchiest way possible. Or you can use ivory legwear with an ivory bag to introduce some more colors in. I think those are pearls on the collar of the OP, and you can't go wrong with pearl jewelry, especially in a classic style like that.

I bought that in Primark years back for the exact same reason. It's not all that full in the skirt but my plan was always to add some white lace to the bottom and top and to cut the 'boob flaps' off.

If you're going to go with a red bag and red shoes, I would recommend some kind of red hair accessory (like a bow to pin on the beret) for a little more balance.

[Anonymous No.8613689]

This is my first lolita cord and id appreciate all the help i can get. I like the crimson/brown pairing but i have no clue what to do for legwear. I'm also wondering if i should introduce a neutral third color to break up the constant browns and red but im not really sure.
The cookie ring is just a nod to little red riding hood and her bringing sweets to her grandmother. Might thrown in something wolf related to.

[Anonymous No.8614913]

I'm building my very first coord for a Halloween meet that's happening next month. I'd appreciate some opinions! I'm not using the hat, broom, or tulle from the picture, they are just there to give the feel of what I'm aiming for.

Also, I'm tying hearts into this coord because there are tiny hearts on the jsk, they are just hard to see in that photo.

[Anonymous No.8614938]

>>8614913
Hi Anon! May I recommend something something other than beads and tulle on the hat? If you're going to use a broom like the one in your picture, you could tie a ribbon around the end and accessorise your hat with a similar colour in larger items. I wouldn't bother about tying in the hearts from the JSK for halloween unless you want to sort of go with a 'bleeding heart' coord rather than a witchy one (in which case red/black/white is the way to go).

As for blouses, neither. They are both off white and your dress is white. Princess sleeves will definitely compliment a witch coord more, though.

Necklaces? None because of the bow on the front of the JSK. Go with a choker instead.

Anon did you buy that meta JSK from closetchild a few weeks ago? If so I'm glad a gull got it! The subtle heart jacquard is lovely.
I agree with the other anon's advice, but if you haaad to choose, I think the black tights, right blouse, and filigree bat would be nice! But the middle glitter bat is a bit too Batman imo. Definitely try to add and stick to a third accent color, and find a seriously good quality witch hat (doesn't have to be brand but definitely not the quality level of the stock pic in the collage).

Thank you, anons. And, yes I did get the jsk from closet child!

Heart bag is pretty shity irl, I would take off the lace if you can but it doesnt hold up much regardless.

[Anonymous No.8615596]

Okay, so I've made some adjustments. I could have made it worse, idk. On the blouse I would remove the black bow. Is cat bag or bat bag better? I have experience with sewing and what not, so if either bags needed altering I'd be up for it. Also up for different purse suggestion!

Which accent color would be best? Based on that, I would add more accessories to the coord. I'm also making the watch hat and broom myself, so I can accessorize those with splashes of the accent color and whatever else.

[Anonymous No.8616159]

Having a little trouble with this. Wanted more pumpkins/orange accent but everything is shit-tier regretsy that I can find.

I also modified the black jsk photo from the purple one so it's not an exact match (as seen by the actual black swatch right next to it)

I'd add in either red, navy blue or turquoise instead of keeping everything brown and mustard. Otome is playful and has a lot of clashing colors, don't approach it like a lolita coord.

[Anonymous No.8616580]

>>8600578
I'd go with the striped tights, and maybe do an updo with the wig instead of leaving it down. Also if you want this to read as ero you should add some more elements, right now it just reads as a gothic coord. I also feel like this dress in particular is ill-suited to ero since it doesn't show off the shape of the wearer's body at all.

[Anonymous No.8616605]

>>8601680
This is cute. Since it's short and you're doing oldschool you could maybe aim for the peeking-bloomers look that used to be so popular? Add in chunky black old school shoes and maybe switch the stark white tights for some black x white OTKs and you'll look adorable.

I have no advice on bang cutting, I'm shit at bang cutting too.

I think if you're looking to bring out the orange, why not use those striped black and orange tights. Check out your local dollar stores/walmart or whereever has holiday items. They'll probably have pumpkin acessories, or at least something you could upcycle into it.

[Anonymous No.8616659]

>>8608488
I feel like you could do a white blouse under the red cardi, or maybe use a blue one? or a bolero. Add in a contrasting brooch to the cardigan to tie the colors together (red & yellow on a blue cardigan, blue & yellow on red). I really don't think black is going to work with this print, but you could do contrasting tights and white shoes for that old school look still.

[Anonymous No.8616670]

>>8609243
Is the yoke on that dress removable? That would really help in your quest to darken the coord. You could switch out the bag for a white one or stick with gold one you have. Go for navy tights, maybe lace, but definitely unprinted if you want a darker and less child-like look. Definitely use a longer wig if you want to wear the veil, which I personally think is really cute.

>>8609713
Look for white shoes if you're crunched for time. There are probably lots on sale since it's past labor day now.

May I inquire as to what that dress is, because I just fell in love. Also the cut of the bodice is nice, I'd go for a cardigan over the dress and blouse instead of the crew sweater you've got. Go with brown oxfords (I can't tell if the ones in your pic are black or brown tbh).

>>8610965
Straw boater hat, straw bag, floral details, brown or ivory cardigan, brown oxfords & ankle socks. It would be cute. It might be hewing slightly closer to otome because of the skirt size, but I still think it could look nice.

I want to make a nice sized crown that has the same look as the ones in the print, but as far as what kind of blouse and what colours to pair with this I'm a little stuck.

Hello again gulls! I posted a bodyline skirt awhile back ago and someone was kind enough to make this really lovely coord. I wanted to steer it into a more Halloween direction though (I have this idea of something similar to the Madoka witches (The skirt really reminds me of Gertrud) or playing up the clusterfuck print).

I currently own the lace blouse and those horns on the far right. Do you guys think the horns look out of place? What would help play up a witchy or demony theme to this? Anything is up for changes.

I would also suggest wearing a solid pair of white tights or OTK socks under the socks you have on. I'm also a black lolita, and have found that our skin tone makes the colors on white legwear less vibrant and look more dull because our color shows through the white. Wearing another set of solid white legwear under it helps to keep the white bright and the colors vibrant.

Do you think it will work? I mean, I just bought another pair thinking it would be relatively the same red and its COMPLETELY different, so I am not entirely sure this will work out.

I know that navy/black is accepted in most coords, but I want to run this one by you guys. (please note the colours, I can't create a collage)

Hello gulls. Im trying really hard to coord the tricky nightmare factory skirt in purple but im getting a little stuck. Im going for a halloween witch-esque coord without being too ott witch. Thing about this colorway that I am finding hard is that brown is the main accent color to the purple and there is no black on the print. With that it excludes so many black blouses and accessories I would use to make this more halloween ish. Found this meta blouse but I am worried about the purples clashing.

Also would do a brown blouse and then purple hat but I am having a hard time finding a brown blouse with princess sleeves....any suggestions???

If you go with those shoes, get a brown blouse. If not, get an orange or warm brown pair of shoes. It's not going to work with what you have as is and I don't particularly find the bag fitting at all.

Also if those are two necklaces, just go with the long one. The one with all the halloween candy looks tacky and inelegant.

Here's the coord done with a brown blouse and a different color hat. I thought the bag could work since i thought it would be seen more so as a "witch spellbook" in this coord. Its just so hard to find Halloween related bags that are either brown or purple....any suggestions??

Also the halloween candy jewellery is actually a charm bracelet, not a necklace. I figured I would try to pull in some of the candy elements in the print since it is a candy factory...any other suggestions for jewellery?? I would like something candy related to go with the print.

I'm getting this jsk soon and tbh I have no idea where to even begin on coording it. It's my first brand dress as well so I don't wanna do a disservice by making a bad coord with it, especially since it was such a popular print at one point in time.

[Anonymous No.8617847]

>>8617267
Get a witch hat and add gold ribbons to it, maybe with a bow. I actually love the gold polkadots with that dress (it reads as really sweet to me too) and I think sweet/cute witch coords are adorable. Maybe pick up a broomstick and add in some gold ribbon to that? Add a veil or some tulle to the hat maybe, I can't find it but there's a pic of Misako in a cute witch coord with a hat & veil that's pretty famous.

Otherwise, accessories like jewelry I'm having a hard time finding right now but you could search around on ali for witchy jewelry, like a silver pentacle or something? Or check around at normalfag stores since they usually have halloween stuff. Good luck with the finished coord, anon.

>>8617362
Out of whaty ou have I'd say the left or middle headpiece, either pair of earrings (both are fucking adorable btw), the dress on the right with the bird tights, silver accessories & silver shoes.

Also consider searching on lolibrary for dresses tagged with birds to see if there are other prints out there you like more.

>>8617374
The horns are okay for a demon theme but since I haven't seen them in person it worries me that they might look a little cheap. Is that braided wig what you're planning for hair? It's pretty adorable. One thing to be aware of is that the earrings are more rose gold while the other two accessories you have picked are more antique gold. I don't know if it really matters though since both colors are in that skirt. I can see the Madoka theme you want to work with in here already (I think it's the boots).

Can you ask to see the shoes in person or just for some more pics of them in various lighting? If it's a girl in your comm she'd probably be amenable to that. From the bottom image it looks like they could work but you never know.

They look pretty decent in person, I wouldn't say cheap but simple. But the horns are a bit of an afterthought if I couldn't translate the witch idea. The braided wig is an idea I'd really love to execute (I've never done a hairstyle that complex though, and I'll need to purchase a wig as my natural hair is short.)

The skirt in person is more copper and rose gold than antique gold if that helps, but it really has a lot of different colors in it.

How do the tights look? Should I stick with the lace ones or go for something more like Abilletage tights? I feel like if I go for that type of witchy theme I need to break up the black more/ make it more busy.

However, my main problem is the shoes. I can't find pink AP shoes in my size (I'm not sure about their sizing too, I don't want to end up with the wrong shoe size), so I'm thinking of ordering from Bodyline.

How bout some constructive criticism?

You telling me it's shit isn't very helpful.

i love that idea! thank you so much
do you think a rosette would be a bit shoe horned? it would just be such a nice statement way to get those colours in

I picked up a gorgeous dress from an indie seller (right in picture) but I'm struggling to co-ord it. I was given a matching velvet headbow from the seller but I don't know whether to co-ord it with black, brown or white accessories.

I just got this dress and have no idea how to coordinate it, this green seems like a hard color to find.
Any suggestions?
