Do you know that feeling of buying something because you’ve been going back to it time and time again, and realised how upset you’d be if it sold out? That is the story of how I got this La Couronne Classique Robe from Juliette et Justine. And so it’s with me since January of this year, though so far it’s had more non-lolita wear than lolita one. So let’s fix that here!
Look 1: Tartan Sailor
 |
| | Hell Bunny cardigan | Innocent World Anchor OTKs | offbrand shoes, beret, earrings and hair clips | Dear celine badge | |
A simple offering for the season of sailor coords, even if of a more cool weather variety. Because seaside can be windy and seaside can be visited outside of summer too. Plus, dressing in sailor lolita is a mood unrestrained by seasonality, sail away whenever you want to.
Look 2: Villainess
 |
| | Annzlea corset | offbrand tights | Elf Armorie Cupid’s Heart shoes | vintage hat, gloves and brooch | Puvithel Crystal Heart necklace and earrings | |
Sure, this could equally well be worn for a night at the opera or some other evening affair by someone with pure and good intentions. But something about the big hat, gloves, and corset gives me villain vibes. Let me cackle behind closed doors that these fools have not yet worked out it was I who killed my rich husband!
Look 3: Golden Child
 |
| | Lady Sloth Glitter Mesh blouse | Angelic Pretty Brigitte Regiment OTKs | Angelic Pretty Elegant Doll boots | Imperial Fiddlesticks headbow | Puvithel Crystal Heart brooch and earrings | Wicked and Whimsy ring | Star Glazed Delights Brandwhore ring | 4 Aces ring | vintage belt | |
Gold and red tartan looks so royal and made for each other. Substyle-wise this coord occupies an interesting niche of being classic, yet with a few too sweet elements to be fully classic, which somehow still manage to work. I’m not even sure what sort of an occasion I would wear this to, but a meetup in late autumn or early winter doesn’t seem that unlikely a scenario.
Look 4: The Warrior
 |
| | Alice and the Pirates jacket | Resailan Jewelry Box tights | Hush Puppies boots | Antique Beast headdress | Le Petit Four The Warrior Sacred Heart necklace | Voodoodolly ring | Summer Tales Boutique pin | |
Will I ever get tired of this formula for an outfit? No, probably not. If I still haven’t gotten over the Hell Bunny cardigan and the IW Anchor OTKs formulas for sailor outfits, then chances of me scrapping this jacket and necklace combo are very low. It just looks so well and adds an instant badass flair. I need to get a sword and pose with one in this…
The question now remains, how many of these looks will actually get worn. And the truth is that either not many or only with adjustments. Why? Because despite costing as much as JetJ does when brand new, they thought that doing a wool dress without lining was a great idea. Trust me, this thing is itchy as hell and I am still a bit bitter that I paid as much as I did for it or that JetJ’s quality gets praised so high when this clearly doesn’t support it. Anyway, let’s put the bitterness aside for now - these are four great looks and as usual, there were some extras that didn’t make it to the post. So chances are that whenever I decide to wear it, it will be one of those.
