Coord Breakdown: January 30th, 2024

A rather fancy look to go shopping today. It's my first time wearing this blouse and I'm sooooo happy with it! Full coord comments under the cut.

Blouse + jabot: Lilizi

Skirt: Fanplusfriend

Bracelets: Offbrand (Rainbow)

Boots: Offbrand (Betsey Johnson)

Earrings: Offbrand (Spirit Halloween)

Hairbow that you can't see from the front but I swear it's real: Offbrand (???)

I love this coord, and especially the blouse, so much!! Purple is my favorite color and I am quite the fancy goth, so when I saw this blouse on Lolibrary I absolutely fell in love with it. When I got some Christmas money, I splurged and bought it through 42Lolita's Buy For Me service. It was my first time using 42Lolita and it was pretty nice tbh! Very easy, lovely customer service, shipping was relatively fast. Of course the shipping cost wasn't exactly the cheapest in the world, but... well... you know how it is with shipping as an overseas lolita lmao. Anyway, the blouse itself is comfortable and very well made, and seems surprisingly durable. Absolutely gorgeous, 10/10.

The skirt's been a favorite of mine for a long time now, after buying it off Lace Market a few years ago. It's a beautiful black satin damask with tiny black rhinestones on the lace trim, and I'm nothing if not a lover of glam, so of course I'm all about that shit. The skirt definitely pairs really well with the blouse!

The boots I found at a thrift store a few months ago for about $13, iirc. They're nubuck leather. They're kind of hard to see here, but here's a picture of another pair in their original form from a Depop listing:

Now, I thought that they were simply very worn and dirty, and with a little TLC would be revived to a vibrant purple with uncrushed pleats. No. No, apparently these are simply "distressed". As a punk I think the concept of making expensive items and faking them to look worn out is fucking stupid (at least distress them yourself, goddamn it! Don't do it in the factory!), so I took it upon myself to un-distress them using some Angelus leather dye. This was my first time dyeing shoes, and the color came out gorgeous! Unfortunately I put on way the hell too much, so between that and all the work and rubbing alcohol it took to get rid of the excess dye, I... think they dried up and shrunk a bit... But wearing them a few times softened them up. I'll probably look into treating them with some leather conditioner when I get the chance.

As for the eyeshadow, it's all Juvia's Place as usual, a combination of the Violets palette and the black from the Saharan palette. Typically I put the darkest shade on the inside corner of my eye and give it a sharp unblended edge in a vaguely tradgoth look, but I wanted my makeup to be a bit less harsh for this coord, so I instead put the darkest color on the outside and blended it all like a normal person. I think it looks cute!

I'm also wearing a nice black satin hairbow my best friend gave me for my birthday. It has a nice delicate, old-timey look. She's made a tradition of giving me a black hair bow every year, because one time she gave me one and I accidentally lost it and she refuses to let me live it down and keeps jokingly buying me more black bows "to replace the one you left on the goddamn train". Love her!!

Loli on Ice! *˚. My first loli-skating.

Btw does anyone plus size have experience with fanplusfriend? They say they offer plus sizes custom but I’m worried about the actual execution of said custom sizes

EXCUSE ME, Fanplusfriend. It's like 5 small items, why is shipping 70 dollars

I mean, I get that it is coming from China and it rationally makes sense that shipping across the world is that expensive, but this is still really high compared to buying from like, any other Chinese company

Every once inna while some variant of "lolita is opposite of Fast Fashion" topics come up.... Something in key of: the clothes are expensive, often times are sold as pre-orders that will take months to arrive, some coordinates take literal years to be fully completed .... etc etc

to wit: I have owned this one F+F dress for a very long time

Had it ~ and worn it waaay too often 'cause luv it muchly ~ since frellin 2010! This "Alice Cards" pinafore dress witnessed a GreenDay musical** , endless Nintendo Store trips & a bunch of AnimeBoston's too

Have been joking that am tryin to become the AB loli cryptid, but seriously.... people who didn't know me, knew of me because of this dress!

**fun fact: friend totalz spotted me in that crowd & snapped a pic before even realized he was in the area??? Seriously, who needs selfies when you can just accumulate photos of yourself from others!

The only pieces older (and still in use!) are miscellany accessories, like rings. One of which recently broke and hadda be glued back together <_<;;
