Lolita Fashion Coordinate Mixed with a Different Alternative Fashion Style…
Steampunk Lolita
This week’s Lolita Blog Carnival prompt is: Lolita Fashion Coordinate Mixed with a Different Alternative Fashion Style. Above is an example coordinate set on Polyvore that I made! (It is my first time using Polyvore, so I apologize for the plain set-up… I am still figuring out how to use the website.) Can you guess the mix that I made? (Unfortunately, I was unable to add more items to the set. I would have added a hat and some accessories that would have completed the coordinate…)

I chose Steampunk-Lolita as my alternative fashion fusion! Both of these fashion styles are really appealing to me. I attempted some steampunk coordinates in middle school and high school, but they were really difficult to figure out, and to be honest, I don’t think any of them were any good.
The Steampunk fashion style, in my opinion, has a very neo-Victorian feel. There are also some key motifs I see in the fashion style, such as cogs and gears, steam-powered machines (does anyone want to drive a dirigible with me?), and goggles.
For this Steampunk-Lolita coordinate, I would definitely add a clockwork pin to the blouse or to the dress, a gold-and-brass-themed floral hair corsage, and some steampunk-y jewelry (necklace, bracelet, a few rings, and earrings!). A snazzy brown leather belt would also be a great addition to this coordinate! Instead of a floral hair corsage, you could wear a top hat or a bowler hat.

Classical Puppets Petticoat Review coming soon!

/ lolitaland / Leave a comment

I’ll write up a review as soon as I have time.

This is the Classical Puppets petticoat I purchased: http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=3401713800

It’s an A-Line super fluffy petticoat. I was afraid that it was squished during shipping because it came wrapped up in such a small package, but it definitely floofed up immediately after removing it from the package. (Floofed should be a word, by the way… but it’s not. Oh, well. I’ll use the word “floofed” anyways. xD)

I don’t have time to write up a in-depth review yet because I have only worn the petticoat with one coord so far (the Chocolate Bar meet coord)… and also, I have two long essays I need to write for Monday. So I’m rather bogged down with work. 

And I’m also sick with a cold. 😦 I’ve been sick since Sunday, so it has been about a week. I really hope I’ll feel better soon. I might dress up in Lolita fashion tomorrow to cheer myself up (if I’m feeling up to it). Maybe a casual coord?

Now… BACK TO ESSAY-WRITING.
