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.

Yue and I tried to take a picture sharing the same scarf hopefully the concept came through! I don’t wear scarves that much in my daily life, although I do like them so I really should! The pattern on this one is so cute, I really like it!
As the wind blows through the trees, their warm autumn colours remind me of the cool afternoons we would spend together…
Melty Ribbon Chocolate “sister” coord with Yue! I wanted to go for a sort of academic look. The pictures turned out perfectly against the background setting thanks to Herb!! Thank you!
