![]() Sadly, my marriage ended the following summer and by November I was living with my grandparents, had largely cut myself off from my friends due to severe depression, and was certainly not participating in any Lolita-related activities. Story time: in March of 2017, I booked a flight from SFO to JFK airport in New York, secured a room at the Sheraton Stamford Hotel, and bought a VIP pass to RuffleCon. Anne is a very bright girl who excels in her studies and later goes on to become a teacher, so the book details seemed fitting. The purple Mulberry Chronicles book brooch is reminiscent of an amethyst brooch that is significant to the story, and I chose the Mary Magdalene Caldina Frill JSK for Anne because she’s so fond of the construction details on her favorite dress, so I imagine she’d be thrilled with this one. The flower crown and hairstyle are a reference to a scene in which Anne decorates her plain hat with flowers on her way to Sunday School and is later scolded by her adoptive caretakers. I tried to include nods to some of my favorite parts of the first book. Necklace: Jane Marple (I’d go with the antique gold colorway.But I’ve never really created a coordinate based on the clothes she actually wore, and that sounded like fun. That always gets the creative juices flowing. I didn’t read the rest), and when I’m feeling uninspired I try to decide what in my wardrobe Anne might like to wear. ![]() I do love the Anne of Green Gables books (well, I love the first two. I spent hours trying to make it work but couldn’t really come up with anything, so I decided to create a coord inspired by my favorite literary character, Anne Shirley, instead. Dick, a psychedelic and cerebral sci-fi novel. My favorite book is the Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch by Philip K. I’ll start off by admitting that I cheated. ![]() This week’s Lolita Blog Carnival topic asked participants to create a coord inspired by their favorite book. I spent about an hour trying to find it but didn’t have any luck. I’m afraid I can’t remember exactly where I got it or how much it was. Take a look at the other blogs who participated in this week’s Lolita Blog Carnival topic:Ĭupcakes and Unicorns *If the brooch looks familiar to anybody please, PLEASE comment so that I can give credit to the artist. Still, I’m happy with how it turned out, even without the pink accents. Unfortunately that would bring the total cost of the coord up to $107.24, and I feel that without the bag the color balance might be a bit off. If it weren’t for the spending limit and I planned to actually wear this out, I’d probably add this heart purse from Loris for 90 yuan ($14.39), swap out the shoes for these pink ones from an*tai*na, and switch the KC for something like this BTSSB one available on LaceMarket. Still, I feel like the coord is definitely on the plain side. Unfortunately the lighting in my room is very yellow so the dress looks more cream, but I love the way the ivory, pink, and yellow work together in-person. This is a fairly standard look for me, especially if I don’t really have anything to do. The stock photos make it look awful, but it’s actually very cute. I really love this OP and wear it all the time, but probably never would have even considered it if a friend didn’t have it in black.
