a little more gothic in my froufrou?

[aimeekitty]

I'm kind of refining my loli/egl wardrobe a bit lately. Expect a sales post within a day. <3
I'd been debating about these items for a while, I finally decided to order them today. (It's too bad that Alice and the Pirates doesn't make larger size blouses, I really love AaTP style lately... it's a nice combo of what I like...) I still love sweet stuff and am keeping a most of it, but I want to try some ETC style, classic/otome and elegant gothic... or just coordinating things in a more casual way. I'd like to focus more on getting things that I can wear more often, too, instead of just to special events.

It's funny that people often say that taller or older girls shouldn't wear sweet and should go more gothic... but most of the time, that's just not me. Like this kind of (Mana) gothic is just not really my style most of the time. It's too dramatic and I feel like I have to somehow fit my personality around it when wearing it. (This is partially my own perception and how I feel in the clothes because there are plenty of cheerful goths who are my friends.) And I love my Atelier Boz coat, I feel all powerful when I wear it,... but most days, I'm a little too Dory for that. But lately... I really love stuff that is a little bit more elegant and a little bit more gothic... some of the Alice and the Pirates or darker sweet stuff is soft and romantic enough that it just feels gorgeous with out making me feel like I have to break out the black nail polish. <3

I ended up getting the Qutieland KidsYOYO coat in pink, thanks for helping me decide! I've wanted a clean shaped coat in this color and style for YEARS and I've been happy with KidsYOYO quality. I got it without the capelet or other stuff, just wanted to keep the cost down and keep the look classic.

Please note the blue black set in the lower right corner. It's so romantic! Am I crazy for really loving it? The white bow KidsYOYO blouse and the F+F cravat black blouse are to wear with some of my more gothic stuff like Vampire Requiem, Alice and the Pirates (unknownname) skirt and my Atelier Boz coat.

No. That black and blue at the bottom right is fabulous.

That's exactly what' I've been going with lately so I totally understand. Also that last outfit picture is really pretty!

The black/blue dress is beautiful!

[persoconchii.livejournal.com]

black/blue skirt is gorgeous and should totally be owned!

*squints* that silver rose ring.. I think I has one just like it

That blouse on the upper left, I've been looking for something like that forever! EDIT: Lol, I should read more carefully. Are you getting it from mashimarogirl?

[aimeekitty.livejournal.com]

I'm going through qutieland. :)

LAAAAACEEEE

XOXO

ps, I wanna do Furuba with you soon.

[aimeekitty.livejournal.com]

well, you're always a little bit more sophisticated style than me, so perhaps we are meeting. <3

Take the bows off the pockets and reduce the flare at the bottom, and that pink coat would be fantastic for non-frou-frou occasions. The cut of it is excellent.

LOL Yeah because I like the cute things you like too but they look far better on you then they do me!

[ashea.livejournal.com]

Ohhhh, I love the black and blue in the lower right! <3

[spiderpiggle.livejournal.com]

all the pictures you posted are lovely

[volleygurl2418.livejournal.com]

I want everything you just posted. Aiiyyaaa. Watching all the cute stuff you post and seeing the cute girls in Japan just makes me wanna wear frilly frilly happy foo foo clothes more! I did it once in Disney Tokyo (the perfect place to go loli), and it was soo much fun! I'm the same size/height as you too, and I know how it can be a pain.... but when I come back home, I'm coming to INDIANA, uughhh! Land of corn will not appreciate my loli-ness, ROFL. Anyways, constructive criticism...
White shirt: Yes, you can dress it up or down (if you take the bow off).
Jacket: SOO BEAUTIFUL! The shape is FANTASTIC, and I love how the extra "cutesy" pieces can come off (or are they just seperate pieces? LOL).
Grey shirt: Smexy, and more ruffles for the win!
Black and Blue Dress: Very cute! How can you not love it?

I remember you posting a red/brown (or was it pink/brown?)dress before with your french beret. I think those colors really flattered you!! Black may be too "bold". But the corset is just soo beautiful on that black dress.

That dress would look really pretty on you. This might be a weird reason but I think youd look really good in AATP stuff and that ruffle blouse because youlook really good in your Der Tod outfit.

I looooooove that blue and black one. It's awesome. In fact, I want it right now. ;_; I am also loving the crazy giant jabot of doom on the silver blouse.

I really like those coats too but would want them in red; pink's not my thing.

[binkxy.livejournal.com]

YES. GOD YES.
