5.17.25 Summer Coord

I was trying to figure out which JSK suited me the best and I came to the conclusion that I like how this one looks on me the most. I was curious to know if I could wear it without a binder if I didn't have a blouse underneath and it turns out I can! It's crazy how much of a difference just a little bit of fabric can make. Anyways, that made me want to make a full coord intended to be for hot days when wearing a blouse is just too much, but still have it look lolita. This is what I came up with:

white headpiece / no blouse / constellation JSK / white bolero / pearl necklace / white socks with pink flowers / brown tea party shoes

I really didn't like how low the bolero went until I realized, "hey, don't I literally own a necklace that almost completely covers that exact area? and also matches the bottom of the JSK perfectly?" and thats when it went from a look to a Look. I would have worn earrings with it if I remembered but I got a little caught up in which headpiece to wear and forgot

side note, i have no idea if we're still supposed to call socks otks if they arent actually otk. oh well

4.19.25 - Photoshoot

More shots with this JSK, I am absolutely in love with how it looks with the blouse in the third pic. The first two were the last pics I took of the night, and I was legit just too tired to stand up at that point lol. Also I made those bracelets earlier last night! I'm super excited about them.

I REALLY really wish I had a bigger selection of blouses, because of how much I love this JSK. I'm not always feeling that first look, and the only other option I have is the second one (besides long sleeves but like its april come on).

Oh, and I forgot to mention the floral petticoat I got recently!!! It's absolutely gorgeous, and by far the best quality petti I own.

Another couple pics with Summer Dessert. In my initial picture of it, I didn't have it zipped up all the way, but I managed to get it in these wearing a binder and with sheer force of will. Surprisingly it doesn't bother me too much after a while, but I'm only going to wear it like this on occasion. It usually looks fine unzipped with a cardigan over it.

Pie milk cherry salopette by Eieyomi. I struggled with this one a lot intially because I loved the design but it just felt too short to be comfortable. However, along with the flower petti, I also got a bell petti, which made a HUGE difference for this salopette. I love the design and the lace so much and I'm glad I feel like I'm able to wear it more often.

A "constellation printed JSK" by Yilia, the same mofos who made the summer dessert JSK. Even though this thing suffers from the same invisible zipper problem, this is one of my favorite pieces that I have in my entire wardrobe. I don't even know what it is but something about the structure just feels correct for me. I love the color scheme too and the whole tarot card motif is super fun. This has been one of the most interesting pieces to coordinate so far.

So I really feel like, as much as I love them, I have too many main pieces when I compare them to how many blouses and such I have. I'm going to try to focus on what I can do with what I already have as well as trying to come across some new blouses and accessories when I have the money to do so

4.19.25 - Old style

➜ ➜

I would be lying to say it hasn't been difficult to get used to the completely different style I have now. I really feel like I had found myself in this older style and I'm still not even really able to say that my tastes have changed, just expanded. Even though I'm having the time of my life with the sweet lolita style, I feel like my sense of self hasn't quite caught up with me yet. I got excited and rushed into it and now I'm slowly finding where I stand with this new style.

I think so far what I've been able to express through lolita hasn't been "my true self" or anything, because I still don't really know who that is. I've been able to express my desire for cute things and my love for elaborate fashions. I've been coming to terms with my gender and how I see myself internally. I've been using this to try to understand that I am allowed to take up space in the world. It all just feels like a new part of myself that I'm getting to know.

4.19.25 - First post

I've decided that I want to start a little fashion blog. I think it would be fun and I want to see my progress over time in developing my own sense of style. Right now I'm deep into lolita fashion - I started early last year, and I feel like I'm at a place where my wardrobe is starting to feel more cohesive. I had a page last month where I showed some of the coords I'd made, but I'd rather have it in a format like this.

Below are some of those coords I initially posted. All of my stuff right now is from Taobao indie brands because thats just how it be. Also these are really just to kind of focus on the main pieces, I didn't bother too much with accessories here.

These are two of my favorite pieces that I own, this JSK from Eieyomi, and this bunny bag from a brand called Bear Star. The JSK is extremely comfortable and I adore it, especially because it's mostly cotton; and I literally take that bag around with me whenever possible because it's so cute. In the future I want to try to come up with a lot more looks with this JSK rather than the one or two I have now.

This is the Christmas JSK + Coat from a brand called Designer's Gift. I honestly kind of regretted buying it when I did because it was at the tail end of winter and this seems like such a winter themed dress, especially since the straps are red and gold and look like ribbons which is very christmas-y to me, but then I found out I could make it look more strawberry-themed in general as opposed to christmas themed when I put it with my pink heart cardigan. Hopefully I'll put a pic of that down the line but who knows what my future self is up to. Anyways, this dress is also really nice quality

This dress is called Summer Dessert by Yilia and honestly it is kind of the bane of my existence. I love it, it's adorable, but despite it being shirred in the back the waistband is not completely elastic which makes it a total bitch to get into. I don't know why Yilia loves their invisible zippers so much ???!!!! but it is stupid and I hate it. I also have a lot of trouble coording this dress in general but when I pair it with a short sleeve white blouse it totally looks like alice in wonderland which i love. Probably will show that down the line too if I'm not super lazy

I like this look a lot but in general I have no idea what to do with this skirt. It's called Little Hetty and it's another piece from Eieyomi (not gonna lie, everything I've gotten from them so far has been really comfy). I got it because I could see it being a more casual piece and I really like the idea of being able to wear more casual stuff frequently but in general I kinda just go with a JSK whenever I want to make an outfit. I'd like to do more with this in the future

I did a little photoshoot last night since I was off of work, and I'd love to post some of it here soon ^^ Honestly I'm so happy I have this little blog because I can make my little blog posts and have some pictures in an organized fashion and I REALLY dig the fact that maybe like 3 people will see it max. If you are one of those 3 people I hope you had fun :D
