Feels lacking with yellow/blue up top. Maybe an easy egg kind of accessory?

If you go with the candy bag I'd add a purple bolero up top,for a star bag a yellow or pink one. Also that metallic star clip doesn't match. Either get the pastel pink one or another accessory.

The deer charm is going to get a gold coating anyways using handydandy science. What other tights would you recommend? I hate solid white tights, all other sax ones I've found have flowers or other themes that don't match.

It's amazing that you made your own headdress to match the Meta op you have. I'd love to see photos! I've never tried to make a headdress but it does seem like something that would be nice to learn.

Are you planning to wear the bolero over the long sleeved blouse? Because I'd nix one if you are planning to do that. Otherwise it'll look very frumpy. I would pick one that's more suitable for the climate. If you really insist on a bolero with the blouse, choose a long sleeved one so you won't have blouse sleeves poking awkwardly out of overstuffed puffy bolero sleeves.

And good call about nixing the shoes. What shoes are you planning to wear with this?

I would also suggest plainer tights or simple white OTKs with good quality lace instead of the tights like above.

Thank you and no I'm not going to wear the bolero like a cape if that's what you mean (I'm really not sure as when I tried it on the sleeves aren't sticking out)? I'm going to wear it over the blouse. The blouse is long sleeved. I was only doing it because I've seen it done in magazines.

Also I don't know what shoes to wear with it now. I really liked those but they don't really match shades. I have some opaque white tights I could wear with it.

Reposting from the last thread - -

I'm trying to work out how to coord this colour of IW's Pietro JSK. The problem is the yoke is really ivory/cream toned. Would a bolero be an acceptable option to wearing a blouse underneath?
Also jewellery is just a filler, and the shoes are because I've only just gotten them after lusting after them for a while.
Unfortunately I've come to the sad realization they're much too white, so I'm going to have to bite the bullet and replace them. Con/crit?

So I recently got this ETC Poodle JSK in lavender as a gift. I adore it, and I've been wanting to put together some more otome style coords, but I'm struggling to figure out what colours to use, or what style of shoe etc. It's a seemingly uncommonly high contrast for lolita atm...

Or should I just go with white and get some lavender shoes and accessories?

Any help would be great, especially if you have any coords with similar colours!

I think being head-to-toe complementary colors might be a little overwhelming. I'd go with pink blouse, white tights, lavender shoes, and yellow hairpiece and bag, but I'm sure other people will have different opinions.

That's a good idea, I have a pink blouse and white tights already - and the lavender shoes would be the most expensive to get so shouldn't be too hard! What do you think in terms of a cardigan? and do you reckon a yellow beret would be too much yellow? I feel like this is a natural hair type of coord, something like pic here with a sort of ponytail and the bow ontop or else hair down/braided or pigtails with a beret

I think nix the bolero or use a long sleeved one, the tights on the left would be okay, but maybe plain/lacy tights or otks would be better. I think maybe some cute heels with a strap would give it a sweet/classic feel? maybe something like this? I think wedge heels are just weird in lolita, and these are very white and very pink whereas your dress looks more soft and dusty looking

that's gorgeous, I definitely think the white blouse and red bolero would be lovely. Don't stick blue in, unless you're going to have blue instead of red in other places, I think the red should be the main accent

I was thinking hair down with a beret would look cute, but hair up could work too. As long as the yellow of the beret works with your hair and skintone, I don't see why not.

I don't like the red top, it's too saturated for a dress that's not so bright and sort of yellow toned. The white blouse will look off with the cream tights, so I think the blue blouse is the best match for that. Definitely a bigger fan of the key and clock tights than the my-lolita-dress tights, but then I usually don't like busy tights with a busy dress.

I'd stick to the blouse on the left (the right one's neckline seems too low for the jsk). The boleros seem like unnecessary editions, especially with the fancy blouse sleeves, plus that red is too bright for the burgundy accents on the jsk and headdress.

The key tights seem a bit too intensely cream for the jsk although it's hard to tell, the others seem like a better option.

The shoes look perfect to me!

I would either do a bolero or a blouse, the blue blouse is only a stock photo I would use an ivory one in the same style though. thank you so much I agree and will stick to the red as the main accent. Id be open to suggestions on a better blouse or bolero?

I agree now looking at the red top, but if it was in more of the bordeux colour that IW uses would it work better? The stock photos don't show it, but it's more of a cream colour blouse. It's not very harsh white, and the blue blouse is just a stock photo, I would be using the same style on in ivory. Do you think that would work well? I am very open on blouse or bolero suggestions? I prefer the key and clock design myself as well so I will use those. thank you so much I really appreciate such well thought out advice.

Do you have any suggestions on a blouse that may look better? I would only use a blouse or bolero, which do you think would look better? I agree now with the red not being a great match. Would one in a more Bordeaux color or a more ivory color like IW look better in your opinion? I'm worried the tights may be too cream as well, but I wont know until they get here. I'll keep an eye out and if they are too cream I will use the other ones. Thank you so much for your opinions, I really appreciate the advice.

Im not a fan of white shoes with most outfits and id agree with replacing the shoes to help balance out the colours, perhaps wine? Or brown if you have none. I think the bolero would be fine instead of a blouse but the blouse seems like it suits too, depending on how cream it is?

Is your petticoat too short? It shouldn't be more than 2", 3" max above the bottom of your underskirt particularly if the skirt is a drapey sort of fabric like chiffon. You may need either a longer petti or to wear it lower on your waist/hips

I have at least one dress that's too short for it, I deal with that by folding the waistband down towards the skirt. It is a bit of a pain to keep checking that the waistband hasn't unrolled itself throughout the day. That's probably my biggest gripe with it. Other than that it does the job fine, holds up the Infanta underskirt all right, although it is starting to deflate a little.

I should note that what I have is the original one that they sold circa 2011. I think they're reusing the same stock photos, so it's probably the same, I guess?

Those shoes are adorable but they do look too white to me even just in your collage. Bummer. I think this could be super cute with some brown shoes, either cabriolet like you have posted or even some cute lace up brown heeled oxfords. You could pick up a cute brown bag with gold accents, keep the wine socks, bolero and accessories and have a super cute coord.

I also think the blouse will be really adorable with this JSK, you could always pick that up and experiment with coording the JSK with other colors too.

Are you trying to coord this ETC as lolita or as otome? Because depending on what you want you should do different things.

For an otome coord I'd look into some brown shoes, use yellow in the tights, and get a cardigan in either the pink or yellow from the dress. Do a beret or a hairbow, something more mature looking than an alice bow though, again in pink or yellow. Add accessories until it feels complete, not too many.

For lolita I'd go with the purple shoes, pink or pink and white socks, either the pink or the white blouse, and a cute headbow in purple x yellow. Stick as much petti as you can under the skirt to get poof.

Just some general advice, take a look over at the otome thread >>8658835for ideas on how to coord in a more "otome" way.

You could try picking up maybe some tan or brown shoes, it would make it a more toned down coord but that might work with the dress.
