Starting off year 3 of the pandemic strong with a clown lolita look! 🤡 I had no real intention of ever doing a clown coord, not because I hate clowns, but it wasn't really my personality or a theme I would invest money in. However, at one point in time, the local comm did a circus theme for a New Year's meet and while I probably won't join an in-person themed meet for A WHILE, and I would assume there would be no repeats on the themes either, I just thought I might as well be ready since I feel like the world is clowning me these past 2 years. I bought this dress from Devilinspired a couple of years ago along with circus themed tights, but the tights were bright white while the dress was mostly cream, so I decided to not bother trying to force them on my legs. Also it's winter and I avoid shaving my legs during winter, thin tights won't do lol.
[Dress, hat: Less Than Maiden (Taobao); socks: Metamorphose; shoes: Bodyline; rings: off-brand, iconografi; hair clips: off-brand, Shoujomonsta]
This coord was simple to put together since the dress has long sleeves and came with a jester hat and various bows you can pin wherever you like, and also an extra red velvet hairbow headband for when the hat is too much. I say if you're going to be a clown lolita, you should always go for too much. I didn't want to wear my red shoes since they are falling apart, but maybe it would have looked better with red shoes, like typical Ronald McDonald shoes. I should shop for replacements.
The hardest point is putting on the clown face makeup on myself, I haven't drawn designs on my face after one aborted attempt at shironuri. I can't draw a straight line on paper in the best situation, much less on a curved surface looking at a mirror wearing circle lenses not as strong as my prescription with my hand at an awkward angle. Presumably with practice, I would get better, but clown makeup is hard to remove lol. Anyway, other than practicing the makeup and buying new red shoes or maybe red/cream socks, this coord is fine as is, I'd make no changes. Love that for me!
