[coord] cat day leopard print coord nya

 This isn't actually a new coord or even a new photoset, I just decided to publish because February 22 (yesterday) was Cat Day in Japan (due to the number two pronounced ni, as in n-ya, the sound a cat makes), and February 22 of 2022 is Super Cat Day. Now if Japan survives until the year 2222, that will be the ultimate cat day, but I'm not going to live that long, so 02/22/2022 it is, lol.

You may recognize the pink leopard print and bolero from a previous post, in which I tried to upcycle/thrift flip a shirt in my donation bin. Later in 2021, I decided to wear a coord based on that post to a local meetup with my lolita pals to get boba and taiyaki. It was a warm and humid night, so I just put my hair in braids and went blouse-less with a bolero and short socks. I didn't take a photo. I also didn't wear the patch although that would have been a good idea.  

This photo below was taken earlier this month while taking other coord photos. I decided to wear a wig because my hair was greasy or something and I added a bracelet, but otherwise the coord is the same.

[jsk: Diamond Honey; bolero: handmade; socks, shoes, ring, bracelet, earrings: Liz Lisa; headband: Angelic Pretty; necklace: Puvithel]

The bolero covers it, but the top of the bodice actually has cat ears peeking above the chest bow which I thought was adorable. The bolero wasn't as scratchy as I thought it would be when worn for a short time, or at least it wasn't any scratchier than the lace socks. This dress makes for a great sweet or punk look, depending on your blouse and shoes and accessories.  For example, wear a black moto jacket and combat boots for a punk look, or wear tea parties and a fur collar and kitty ears for a sweet look. I like this coord as is, and honestly don't have much else in my wardrobe that I'd wear that matches at this time, as this is a warm bubblegum pink and everything I own is either baby blush pink or dusty greyish rose pink.  Thinking about getting another moto jacket though...
