Lolita Blog Carnival - Spring inspired coordinate

The warm weather is fast approaching and us lolitas will have to soon put aside our velvets and fake fur accessories in order to put up our seasonal accessories such as flowers, cute hats and lighter fabric dresses. For some people, depending on their country, spring is either short or long, or even cold ! Here in Canada, spring is always indecisive, and usually starts in may, after the cold nights have finally made their goodbyes. So this week we create spring inspired coordinates, so hopefully the good days come to us quicker !

We often associate spring with pastel colors, flowery patterns and shiny accessories, but as a Gothic Lolita, it can be a little more of a challenge to make a spring coordinate with all black clothes, so you have to get a little inspiration from the weather and activities you might take part in during the spring. For this reason, I kept all my items black anyways, but did my best for a light spring coordinate ! 

Stole : Moi-même-moitié
Dress : Moi-même-moitié
Brooch : Moi-même-moitié
Hair accessory : Moi-même-moitié
Bag : Moi-même-moitié
Handkerchief : Moi-même-moitie
Tights : Tutuanna 

I went with light fabrics, and yes, I still incorporated flowers ! I took in consideration that we still sometimes have brisk light wind in may so even though I chose a short sleeve dress, I covered my upper arms and shoulders with a light stole. It also makes the outfit elegant for an early spring picnic ! I also chose to go with light tights that could be worn with cute closed toes shoes or even maybe sandals ! Of course I added my precious handkerchief in case the afternoon gets really hot and you need to keep your face from melting ! Very important when you wear pale foundation *wink* 

You can check other ideas for spring coordinates in other styles as well, for other precious ladies participating in Lolita Blog Carnival this week !

Lolita Blog Carnival - Two Budget / Two Coordinates

You know when you start in lolita fashion, you usually don't have much money to spend on brand, much experience to go through shopping services, or maybe you are young and god knows your parents wouldn't allow you to spend that much money on just clothes. So this week, with Lolita Blog Carnival, we had an interesting challenge ! Making a low budget coordinate, and a higher expensive budget coordinate.

Lolita Blog Carnival - How would you re-do your wardrobe ?

Looking at my wardrobe today, I certainly came from far if I think back of my beginnings, and I am confident in my current collection, more and more reflecting my true style and inspiration. I often thought about dresses that went away during my collecting years, or the ones I saw slip away when I couldn't afford it. But I am overall satisfied of what I own today, and I am better aware of the direction I want to take concerning my closet now. This week's topic on Lolita Blog Carnival, was asking the question "How would you re-do your lolita wardrobe ?"
