[coord] Style Swap - OTT Sweet!

The Metroplex lolitas had their second Style Swap meet, in which we dress in a style that is different from what we normally wear. I did OTT hime lolita last year (not exactly different from my usual lol), but this year I went all out and put together an over the top sweet coord which was totally different because even though the dress is pretty tasteful for a sweet dress, the pink twin falls wig was definitely not my usual.


JSK, headbow, black socks, bracelet, ring: Angelic Pretty; purse: Innocent World; shoes: Bodyline; bow ring: Chocomint; mint socks: Daiso; everything else: Forever 21, Claire's, handmade.

I bought Angelic Pretty Fantastic Dolly jsk and headbow in ivory/mint from a local lolita at the new year's meet, right after I won the prize for best niche style which happened to have mint accessories and fake nails. Then over the next 10 months, I added more and more pieces, including the pink/gold wig, more jewelry, the socks and rocking horse shoes. Two days before the meet, after I was physically and emotionally wrecked by the results of the US election, I finished decorating the nails and making the ribbon hair clips. I ended up wearing the coord on the right because I just wanted to wear the rocking horse shoes, the matching socks were actually white than ivory so I wore the green socks instead lol.


Here is a close up through several beauty cam filters. I wore glitter make up and so many hair clips.


The nails, base made by a local lolita, I added more rhinestones and stickers to match my coord.

Anyway, I was the most impressive this time, but that's because we don't have a ton of OTT fairy kei sweet girls in Dallas, everyone is more classic or country because...  well, Texas, lol.
