8 Outfits: Various Occasions and Styles
Hello! This is my second time posting in Daily Lolita and I'm very excited to share my outfits with everyone. I feel so inspired by all of the beautiful people on this community, so I'm here to spread the love. The outfits I have posted are listed in order from which I wore them (earliest to latest). I hope that you enjoy my coords!
☆ Outfit one ☆
OP: Bodyline's Antique Clocks OP in mint
Bag: Baby The Stars Shine Bright
Socks: Metamorphose Temps De Fille
Shoes: Offbrand (not shown)
Accessories: A mix of offbrand, TaoBao (Kid's Yoyo), San-X, Bodyline, and Angelic Pretty
I've worn Antique Clocks several times, but this is the first time that I have posted a coordinate of myself in it; It was actually my very first lolita purchase. I consider it to be the most versatile dress in my entire wardrobe. I love to see what people come up with to pair with this dress. I decided to add some pink into the mix to brighten things up. This outfit was taken during our yearly Easter picnic at the park, after all! I baked some cute Easter cookies with Sentimental Circus designs, so I tired to match with that a little bit. I did not manage to get any good true full-body shots by myself and for that I apologize. I was busy running around hiding Easter eggs for our girls and guys, so I'm surprised I managed to get these two shots in!
☆ Outfit two ☆
JSK: Angelic Pretty's Chess Chocolate Jabot JSK in Mint
Blouse: Offbrand
Bag: Angelic Pretty
Socks: Angelic Pretty
Shoes: Bodyline
Accessories: A mix of Angelic Pretty and Offbrand
I so love this outfit! Well, maybe it's just because it's Chess Chocolate, or maybe it's because it's my favorite purse, or maybe it's because it's my favorite wig. I dunno. haha~ I apologize for the quality of the photos. They were all taken with my older model Iphone (Still on the 3GS! I need to upgrade haha), so they don't look as great as some of the other pictures that I have.
This was taken on International Lolita Day this past June! We planned a huge meet-up for the NOLA Lolitas at a really nice hotel that serves afternoon tea, and we had games, prizes, and give-aways. It was so fancy, as you can see from the pictures! Everyone was taking bathroom shots since, well, the bathroom had the best lighting and the wallpaper was gorgeous. The second picture was taken in some of the lounge areas. It was all in all a very successful meet-up and I was wearing a successful outfit, I think!
☆ Outfit three ☆
JSK: Angelic Pretty's Fantastic Dolly High-waist JSK in Ivory
Blouse: Innocent World
Bag: Angelic Pretty
Socks: Angelic Pretty
Shoes: Antaina
Accessories: Offbrand, and Baby The Stars Shine Bright/Anime Matsuri
Fantastic Dolly! This was my first time while wearing it and I figured what better opportunity to wear it than going to meet Betsy Johnson!? I wore cute little jems under my eyes to go a little more over-the-top. This outfit uses more black as an anchor, which is a little outside of my comfort zone, but I do like it! Normally I am in browns so this is a good change of pace. I am wearing the Fantastic Dolly socks in white, but it's hard to tell.
It was super sunny and hot that day; I could hardly keep my eyes open to take the outdoor pictures before the event. I threw in an extra picture of my friends and I before the event with the emcee. He was so cute and he loved our outfits.
☆ Outfit four ☆
JSK: Innocent World's Chocolate Teddy Bear in Green
Blouse: Innocent World
Bag: Baby The Stars Shine Bright
Socks: Innocent World
Shoes: Bodyline
Accessories: Offbrand, and Innocent World
For the full shot, I am very sorry about the quality. Again, it was taken on my Iphone camera. The second was taken on our nice camera so you can see some of the details. This was an outfit that I put together to wear while my husband I were out on vacation. We went to visit his best friend who is living out in Austin, Texas so that we could see the Zelda Symphony together. It was so much fun, and I'm really happy that I was able to wear lolita when we went out.
A word for the wise: I would not recommend that style of wig in Austin's heat.
never.
again.
☆ Outfit five ☆
JSK: Innocent World's Delft Lotta in Chocolat/Rose
Blouse: Handmade
Bag: Baby The Stars Shine Bright
Socks: Innocent World
Shoes: Bodyline
Accessories: A mix of handmade and offbrand
Oh, Delft Lotta. How I miss you so!
This was the last time I wore Delft Lotta before I sold it. Unfortunately, it does not flatter me very well, as you might be able to tell from the photos. I did enjoy coordinating this dress on those couple of occasions I wore it, though. I am wearing a lot of handmade goods in this one! The beautiful headbow was made by my friend Shai at Reve Lullaby (you can find her on facebook here ), the little ribbon with fawn-fur poufs came from my fawn-fur collar that I purchased from My Dearest Victoria (you can find her on facebook here ), and the darling brown blouse was made by my friend Kate at The Countess Countless Stitches (you can find her on facebook here ). I chose to do a very natural make-up since this outfit is a bit more toned down than what I usually do.
I wore this outfit for a mini-meet outside of New Orleans. We went to a cute tea house called The English Tea room. Their scones were delicious! I probably ate way too much! haha~
☆ Outfit six ☆
JSK: Bodyline's Sweet Biscuit JSK in Mint
Blouse: Offbrand
Bag: San-X
Socks: Innocent World
Shoes: Antaina
Accessories: A mix of off-brand, handmade, and Bodyline
I really enjoyed putting this outfit together. I tried to go with a cute Korilakkuma theme paired with Sweet Biscuit. I haven't seen many pictures of people wearing this dress, but it's so cute! I don't think it gets enough love.
It was important to me for everything to kind of pop and be super cute for this outfit because I was going to visit an awesome new shop for the first time. New Orleans finally has its own cute store called Kawaii NOLA. They carry Sanrio, San-X, Bodyline, Japan LA, and so much more! They have several cute accessories, clothing, and snacks!

☆ Outfit seven ☆
JSK: Angelic Pretty's Fantastic Dolly High-waist JSK in Ivory
Blouse: Offbrand
Bag: Angelic Pretty
Tights: Offbrand
Boots: Bodyline
Accessories: A mix of off-brand, and Sanrio
More recently, I attended a local convention, Mechacon, and wore this outfit on Friday. It was my first time wearing a wig this short and wearing a black wig, too. Many people didn't recognize me. haha~ One of my favorite things about Fantastic Dolly in Ivory is that there are two shades of mint: one light, and one dark. I really wanted to bring out the darker mint in this outfit. I found that it worked fairly well, but it is hard to tell due to the indoor lighting. Perhaps if I could have taken a picture outside in the natural light it would be more apparent. I probably should have used darker mint tights, too. Oh well! Overall, I really like this outfit! Having short hair is fun and cute!
☆ Outfit eight ☆
JSK: Angelic Pretty's Wonder Party Halter JSK in brown
Blouse: Offbrand
Bag: Angelic Pretty
Socks: Angelic Pretty
Shoes: Antaina
Accessories: A mix of Angelic Pretty, Handmade, and Offbrand
This is probably my favorite outfit of the whole bunch! I was finally able to get Wonder Party in brown and I love it so much! Every tiny detail about it is just so perfect. I wore it for the first time ever to Mechacon on Saturday. This is the only halter-style dress that I own and it was surprisingly comfortable; I love this dress! The parasol that I am using is very special because it came from my grandmother who obtained it when she was in Okinawa many, many years ago. The hair combs I had just purchased the day before from my friends at Reve Lullaby, whom I referenced earlier. They were a last minute addition to the coord and I think that it really pulls the entire outfit together.
I really can't wait to do more with this dress. I have so many ideas that center around it!
☆ Lagniappe ☆
And, for a little something extra, here is a picture of me right before my husband and I went out one night a couple of months ago. This is my real hair. Somehow it fits underneath all of those wigs! haha!~ The JSK is Innocent World's Lace Crinoline in black.
For those that are interested in where the wigs, contacts, lashes, and offbrand accessories came from:
The caramel colored wig is Minty Mix, the black bob and brown long, wavy wig are both L-Email, and the dark brown wig came from ebay. The circle lenses that I am wearing are both Geo Lenses. The brown lenses are Geo's Starmish series (some of the pictures have my natural eye color, though), and the aqua lenses are from Geo's Color Nine series. The lashes are actually Hello Kitty lashes! Most of my offbrand accessories and blouses come from Forever 21.
