First of all I would like to thank you. This is the best way to ask a question about coordinating something. I like to know that you have your own ideas and aren't just leaving it up to me to do the work so thank you for that.Anyway, I think for a blouse you would be fine with either black or cream. If you were to do black I would balance it out with some more black and then the gold and pink jewelry would work perfectly, especially if you're incorporating more of the darker pink of the skirt. Gold jewelry and pink, floral accessories would work nicely.

I think the shoes and blouse look fine. I think the hair accessory they threw on her looks super tacky and I wouldn't have put white wrist cuffs with the beige blouse (I also think the blouse might look better in white but the beige doesn't look bad) but otherwise it's a decent, allbeit simple, coord.

It doesn't help that it's Bodyline and they use awful stock photos a lot of the time that can make the shapes look really off. I would say that a bell shape would be your best option for that particular skirt.

I think it's decent. You're right, the skirt is a bit busy but I don't think it's too bad. I would however just recommend plain black tights rather than anything with a pattern. I was a bit iffy about the skirt at first because it looks pretty bad on the model but it looks better on the mannequin. I think they just used a really bad petticoat for the model (probably one of their own and it may have been on it's last legs from being used for several photos) not to mention the way she's holding out which just looks stupid because she's pulling it out farther than it naturally should go.Anyway, I was going to say that if you don't like the blouse you should get a different blouse, but I understand that if you're just getting it as an idea to see if you like Lolita or not you probably wouldn't want to go through the hassle of getting a custom blouse unless you absolutely could not find anything that fits otherwise.
