Hello, I’m trying to put together my first actual coord for an event I’m going to in three weeks, and I have a few questions. I’m getting Bodyline’s l518 in black, and shoes s507 in red. I plan to accessorize using mainly black, red/pink, and gold. First, I’m trying to tie the card suit theme into my leg wear, maybe with something like this: http://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/W4EAAOSw7ehXTY0M/s-l500.jpg Or maybe just black floral lace tights instead (or something else entirely if those would look too busy?) Next, is it okay to accessorize using all the themes in the dress (cards, crowns, flowers, keys, ect.), or is it better to just use one or two? I have a long golden key necklace that I’d like to wear, and I was thinking it might be cute to wear a crown on my head similar to the ones on the dress. I found this (also comes in a bigger size): https://www.etsy.com/listing/173699088/ultra-mini-classic-velvet-and-spotted?ga_search_query=crown&ref=shop_items_search_1 And this one, which I think is very pretty, and has a flower that ties in with the print: https://www.etsy.com/listing/207763133/beautiful-metal-lace-crown-and-pearls-in?ga_search_query=crown&ref=shop_items_search_5 And this leads me to my last question. I’m going to use my natural hair, which is light brown, and cut in an asymmetrical pixie, similar to this: https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/a0/44/e0/a044e0c0728ddd0e9c054cf407e93b1f.jpg It’s long enough to curl on the one side, with the other side being rather short, but long enough to pin behind my ear. I haven’t seen many lolita’s with similar haircuts, so I’m wondering how I should style it. Would a crown even look okay, or is there something else that would better suit the cut I have? Thank you very much, and sorry for the long post!
Response from Lolita Tips:
I like those tights and I think they’re a good way to work the theme in. Floral lace would also work though if you preferred those. If you really want to use all the themes of the print you probably could but I would just be careful about it. Maybe don’t make it your goal because then you might find yourself trying too hard to fit everything in and just end up with sort of a jumbled mess. I feel like if you wanted to do a crown I would go with the black one. I recognize that the red one ties into the print but it’s such a small part of the print that I think if you look at the coord as a whole it will look out of place. I also feel like the black crown will probably look better with your hairstyle without having to really do anything with it. I would just wear the crown tilted on the side with more hair.
