Here is another (old,) unposted picture of my floral pirate (I don’t know the genre) outfit in 2019.

I wore this Juliette et Justine JSK in a heavily modified way from its as-is design, with a corset on top and with sections of the front pinned up. It’s pretty different, but I’m a fan of the effect and I think I’ll probably recycle the idea in the future sometime.

Herb took an excellent picture as always! ✨

Another mint-grey outfit with regency inspirations.

We went to the botanical garden - mainly the greenhouses since it was not quite spring yet, and it was fun! I will post more photos later.

I felt like I had kind of exhausted the dresses I currently owned that had a regency feeling to them, but when I looked at this JSK I realized that it has some regency-like elements to it that fit pretty well. Hem ruffle detailing like this is fairly common for the era (although, much longer and not polyester of course).

The bust area has some gathering too that would have been alright too, I think, but straps are not entirely regency, so I decided to wear my trusty jacket on top as a faux spencer…which I think helps sell the look a little more. I ended up changing my shoes to boots before leaving - imo the mary jane style shoes lean the outfit more typical lolita.

One more photo of (maroon) farutetto from our Valentine’s day meet.

I’m glad that the tulle ruffle of my underdress cooperated with me for this photo! It’s quite delicate, and therefore has a habit of sticking to itself in unflattering ways.

This was my outfit for my comm’s recent Valentine’s Day/Lunar new year meet.

This amazing jacket with its sometimes reddish, sometimes purple colour was the piece that I centred the coord around - I love its 18th century inspired design! I tried to follow the historical influence with a wide bustled skirt. However, I think overall I’m not that happy with the final look…there are a few layers going on here and I felt a bit lumpy.

I thought about going down a 18th century chinoiserie path to tie the outfit into lunar new year, but I don’t think I had any pieces that were really suitable for it (mustard seems to be a much more popular colour for chinoiserie from the time, as well as printed items influenced by asia). Perhaps next time.

Dress (Faltetto JSK layered with Copine Georgette JSK), Jacket: Mary Magdalene
Hair accessory: Metamorphose Temps de Fille
Socks: Angelic Pretty (with ribbon I added)

Happy Lunar New Year!

I planned to wear something like this outfit last year, but that didn’t end up happening…so now is the time!

My brooch features AP’s Milk Cat, because tigers…cats…right?

I own pretty much no qi so I used this Baroque OP (the only qi thing I own) as a blouse, tucking up the skirt portion. There are a few layers going on here - I wore another underskirt over the OP but under the JSK to reduce lumps and also because the OP’s original ruffles fell a bit too long. And then I added a few Meta wa pieces that looked passable (I think the informal theme of this outfit is ‘tassels and cord’)!

I would like to own more mandarin collar and frog button (cord button) type items in the future, I think they’re quite cute.
