This is a pretty personal post, so I’ll be putting the rest under the cut.

Venetian gondolas. This JSK has appeared in several posts already, but it’s because this is one of my dream dresses, and while it has its flaws, I dearly adore it. Don’t mind the derpy bow in back, please... I got lazy.

Also I’m not shooting pictures with my phone anymore, so you get to see actual colors now!

Coord 1 - old worn pictures here, old WIP post here 

JSK - Bodyline l546

underskirt - detached from Bodyline l510

cropped jacket - a mon avis

hat - vintage, with offbrand flowers (these are just so fluffy, they’ve been appearing in nearly all my recent coords, sorry)

choker - ToxicKitty

Coord 2

JSK - Bodyline l546

underskirt - detached from Bodyline l510

blazer(?) - offbrand. That lace. It’s a little too large for me, but I don’t have the skills to alter it yet.

Nerys - a Happy New Year to everyone! I wore one of my favorite dresses, Bodyline’s Venice print, out to lunch with my family. I spent some time trying to come up with a coord that suited how I felt- it hasn’t been an easy year for me, but I didn’t want to wear all black, it would be like giving up on good cheer altogether. This was an acceptable compromise between color and black, and I ended up having a very good time.

JSK - Bodyline l546 

vest, peignoir (yes, not a blouse), bag - misc. offbrand

tights - Mu-Fish replica of the abilletage corset tights; I wouldn’t recommend them if you’re looking for true black or have yellow toned skin. I found them locally and cracked at the temptation, but I probably would say go for the original ones.

hat - H&M, scarf and accessories - offbrand

flower brooch/clip - ToxicKitty

shoes - Clarks’ Cassie

chiffon neck scarf - chiffon scrap

new WIP for Bodyline l546. Something casual and comfortable and roomy; it’s going to be a buffet thing and I eat less (than I already do) when there’s a belt squeezing my stomach.

I wonder… what would be a good name for this coord?

All offbrand.

Romance on Reflective Waters coordinate, worn for a movie out with friends/birthday dinner.

We watched an action movie (Rurouni Kenshin) but everything becomes a comedy when it’s with this crazy bunch. It’s a good thing that the film was nearing the end of its run and there weren’t a lot of other people, because our group kept up a constant Rifftrax in the background. Even the very movie stopped taking itself seriously anyway, and by the time the final battle devolved into a free-for-all alley brawl, nearly everyone was cackling.

JSK - Bodyline l546, aka Venice print. One more dream dress down!

wig - Bodyline w049

underskirt - Little Dipper, blood and bone of the wardrobe of a slightly-too-tall lolita

cropped jacket - thrifted

socks, shoes and hat - vintage, socks were a gift from an aunt, and the hat belonged to my late grandmother’s sister. The shoes were my grandmother’s.

flowers - ToxicKitty. I removed the Foxcherry brooch on the jacket from this coord, because long hair means tangles and I didn’t want to complicate my life

In our little crazy group, there is someone who has the same birthday I do! Curious. We were given matching cupcakes and told to peel potatoes (in-joke with my real name) I can’t watch Dracula Untold with this bunch. We’d get booted out of the theater - but it was so much fun. <3

Also by accident I found that this JSK could work for Hime Gyaru, or even (with some effort) Hime Loli; it’s large on me, but the fabric is just so elegant, it is worth getting it altered to fit.
