This is what I wore to my high school prom. I can’t even really point out anything I would change, the coord is going for a specific look and it succeeds at that! Verdict: Though simple, I actually think this coord is surprisingly good compared to my first one! It’s not my style anymore, but I wouldn’t mind wearing this outfit even now. It’s certainly a different approach than I take now to wardrobe building! Then I collected every piece I would need to coordinate it effectively. I decided I had to have this AP dress and shortly after I saw it for sale secondhand so I jumped on it. The convention itself was highly mediocre, but I was mostly just excited to meet other lolitas so I had a good time. This photo was taken at the first edition of Osharecon, a jfashion convention in the Netherlands. Still no better in the posing department. Ita or not, it’s still pretty bad.Ĭoord 2, the first one I wore to a lolita event. Verdict: The white blouse + dark brown socks combination is… questionable, and overall there is no real sense of cohesiveness but I do think I succesfully avoided an ita phase. At this point in time my hair wasn’t very lolita-suitable, but I was also convinced that wigs were a requirement so I ordered a number from Lockshop, which was very popular at the time. That cream blouse with brown details would certainly have improved this coord, but alas. I ordered an Innocent World blouse too, but I got the wrong size and had to sell it. That wishy-washy approach led to this not-quite-classic, not-quite-sweet coord. My first purchase was from Innocent World, which was motivated primarily by their accessible and easy to order from website, rather than me particularly liking their aesthetic. I didn’t really think about what substyle or aesthetics I liked, I just wanted to wear a frilly dress and then I’d be happy. I had turned 18 not long ago and was in my final year of high school. My very first coord! I clearly did not know how to pose. When I was just getting started in the fashion it always inspired me to see the first coords of lolitas I admired. I also keep all my worn looks in Smart Closet under the custom category of “worn” so I can go back to them and repeat outfits if I want to.I thought it would be fun to share my journey through lolita fashion in coords, as God knows I started in a place quite different from where I ended up. So these days I keep all my coord photos for myself in that photo album in chronological order. I also was using Lookbook, until they took down one of my photos for containing minors (it didn’t, I was the only one pictured) and there was absolutely NO WAY to dispute the claim. In the past I printed them and was making a scrapbook of all my looks but I haven’t had a printer for a while so I stopped doing that. Once I wear something, I keep all my coord photos in an album on my Google Photos account. This sheet might look chaotic but it’s been very helpful in keeping me organized! The X’s show years I did not own each piece and red font is for upcoming coords. Yellow indicates ILD June and blue indicates ILD December. Grey lines are dress I now no longer own, the dark pink are dresses I haven’t worn yet. Pre-2018 I wore Cecelia Merry-go-Round so many times that I needed to retire it for a while to make time for other pieces and that’s why Dress Round-Up was born. I use this sheet to keep track of what dresses I have worn for what events so that I make sure all the dresses in my closet get wear, and I am not wearing the same coords to the same annual events too close together. Dress Round-Up is an excel sheet where I keep of all the main pieces I have ever owned with the recent past years and the present/next year.
