Usually most comms seem to do a themed meet for holidays like Halloween, Christmas, Valentine's etc. I love all the stops that people pull out for big events like TPC or street Fashion Europe in trying to match the theme! It's SOOO inspiring to see how people have interpreted that, how they brought pieces which you may not have thought to use and what have they done to really BRING IT for the event. I think there will be quite a few surprises this August and I absolutely can't wait! <3<br /><br />It makes sense that your clothes might reflect the weather, consciously or not. I don't really get inspired by moods, but that might be because I don't wear Lolita as often. My moods with Lolita tend to be limited to wants: I want to wear this dress, I want to be comfortable or I want to go all out (within limits). And these aren't particularly mood-like. :PCupcake Kamisamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13424220962457880734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1276712859287596508.post-81708092682156045892017-07-28T00:03:44.763+01:002017-07-28T00:03:44.763+01:00I like the idea of using the dress itself as a jum...I like the idea of using the dress itself as a jumping off point, and it's really useful when you have a theme to be inspired by. I don't think I've ever been to a meet that was specifically set around a theme, but I can imagine it's a lot of fun wearing a kind of meetup uniform with everyone! I suppose it's the same with events-- the annual TPC event is fun in terms of the fact a lot of people go all out and try to match the event name/theme. It gives the opportunity to break out some of the pieces you might not normally get a chance to for local casual meets!<br /><br />My immediate thought was that my outfits never seem to have a theme, but on reflection, I definitely base a lot of my outfits on my mood and the kind of mood I want my clothes to evoke that day, which is a theme in itself! The weather can also have a massive impact on my outfits, and not merely in terms of their practicality. I find I prefer wearing black on dark, rainy days, and pastels when it's sunny. The psychology behind coord building would make an interesting research project I'm sure!Spiffykiddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07171770828732667123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1276712859287596508.post-82259493037776055632017-07-26T19:10:46.974+01:002017-07-26T19:10:46.974+01:00That's an excellent idea!

It may turn out that there are far more outfits that you could do with one main piece than you previouly thought - or you could discover a whole new level of OTT. Either way, going as far as you can could be a phenomenally inspiring journey!Cupcake Kamisamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17740637850835315898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1276712859287596508.post-86254689056027569962017-07-26T10:00:15.398+01:002017-07-26T10:00:15.398+01:00I usually see how far I can take something, I have...I usually see how far I can take something, I have a lot of themed jewelry and neutral basis in socks and blouses, even shoes! Some mainpieces has a very specific theme, but luckily they are neutral in colour/ cut, so I can just tone it down.V.

It's a perfect opportunity to try something new which otherwise maybe I wouldn't have attempted. And as a lazy person, I'd rather just build a coord around comfortable walking shoes than carry a change of shoes with me for when my feet get tired. Flat shoes can be cute too! :PCupcake Kamisamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17740637850835315898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1276712859287596508.post-3957034547312540292017-07-25T10:29:15.409+01:002017-07-25T10:29:15.409+01:00Great to see that you try to work around the theme...Great to see that you try to work around the theme of the event/meet. You have some great tips for building a coord especially the tips for looking at the occasion and activities. Those make such a difference when making a coord!
