[coord] Arabian Nights but with no accessories lol

I've been selling dresses and clothing items that I am not able to wear or don't want to buy all the items to coordinate with, and so far I managed to sell a few things I have worn once but didn't love enough to keep or things that just didn't fit because I underestimated how much my chub has increased over the years lol.


JSK: Souffle Song; blouse: Fanplusfriend; headdress: Alice and the Pirates and handmade; tights: Haenuli; shoes: Innocent World; jewelry: Forever 21, Daiso, H &M

This lilac Fanplusfriend blouse I bought on clearance for a character themed coord (red and purple) but I decided the color was too pink to match. Also it was a little tight. However I felt the price point would be too much for folks, so I made up this coord to try to utilize it at least once. The jsk is a simple version of Chinese brand Souffle Song's Arabian Nights in purple, which is one of their better colorways (black is also good, blue, too). Now the simple jsk package did not include the large headbow or the bonnet, just a small hair bow clip, so I reused the base headdress I made for the AatP's 1,001 Nights. (Yes, I love the Arabian theme prints lol.) I might have done better to use a black blouse here, but there was enough purple going on in the print and lace trim to match. Those Haenuli tights are a lucky combination of pink, purple, cream and black, so they filled a gap in my wardrobe and also looked great with elaborate jewel/floral prints such as this one.

Anyway, since the dress is slightly off center and a weird shade of purple to match, I wanted to sell it and get a centered version like the fancier JSK, but at the same time, I'm fine with keeping it since it is a pretty print in one of my favorite colors, and also no one locally has it.
