Trying to use my latest purchases with a true Valentine's day lolita coord, not himekaji! I was kind of up in the air about putting on lolita outfits in below freezing temperatures (hey, this is the south, we get a half inch of snow every 2 years), but also felt like I had to wear my makeup before throwing it out, so I dragged myself out of bed for a quick photoshoot. I was inspired by cursed.kaiser's panel on creative photography so I attempted an artsy storytelling shot, e.g., an angel cursed with a bleeding heart to fall in battle, to limited success lol.
[Dress: Atelier Pierrot; headdress: Taobao, Michaels; long necklace: Minori; socks, shoes: Baby the Stars Shine Bright; earrings, cross necklace, bracelet: offbrand; brooch: Rhapso Broderie; rings: Bisou Lovely, Metamorphose]
Fun fact, I got the golden winged headdress from the Halloween clearance rack from Michaels for like 5 dollars, it was so beautiful. The dress was a happy pack inclusion that came with a bolero and headdress/necklace, I was in the market for a shiro outfit since I don't have one yet, however this dress was too tight on the arms. Everything except the socks and shoes and Daiso wig were recent unworn purchases within the past year that I needed to show off. As you can see, I tried to do the fallen angel shot with my phone on a tripod but the angles made me look terrible, this was the best shot I salvaged.
What I really liked about this coord besides the half-assed storytelling was the gold eye makeup. The beautycam filters faded the effect, but I caked on 2 layers all over my eyelids and felt proud of doing something more daring than my usual neutral basic look. I would have also put gold on my lips but I know I would have licked it off in a minute. Anyway, people online were impressed, I got to show off a slightly more unusual look (for me), so I consider this a winning coord!
