Coordinate: Antique Rosy JSK in Brown Autumn Outfit

I was a little bored one evening, and feeling incredibly inspired to create loli outfits for this Autumn after discussing with my sister about this Autumn's "in-trend" look.

This is one of my favourite outfits that I've come up with so far! I don't really get to see brown much in lolita, and I think that pairing brown with antique white/cream, peach and dark red makes it look less old and more elegant. It certainly makes for a more mature lolita outfit! ^_^



Coordinate: Antique Rosy JSK in Brown Autumn Look



Outfit Breakdown:
JSK: Antique Rosy by R-Series
Blouse: Random office blouse from my closet.
Tights: iSocks
Shoes: Bodyline
Bag: From my friend, but I know it's from TaoBao somewhere.
Rings and Necklace: Accessorize and TopShop
Parasol: Jusco
Hairband: Aldo
Accessories: Surface Spell

The main focus of this outfit is, of course, my Antique Rosy JSK by R-Series. It's actually made of a summerweight fabric, but since it's so hot in Malaysia, I don't mind that at all! To highlight the darker colours in the JSK and also to give the outfit a more Autumn-y look, I paired it with a brown blouse from my office clothes wardrobe.

I only recently managed to acquire the brown tights and Bodyline shoes as well, so those definitely were included in the outfit. I rather like that the tights are patterned - it somehow manages to make the outfit more "textured" and less one-colour sort of boring.

I rather think that the shoes I chose are a little light for this outfit, so maybe I'll dig out an old pair of dark brown loli-able shoes from last year and try it with this outfit. And while I'm at it, I might also bring out my dark brown cape to see how well it'll match loli outfit hurhurhur.

A friend of mine gave me this bag after I kept wheedling her about how much I liked it (sorry, JL!! ^^;;;)and it looks really great with this outfit. I added a cream rose to it for a bit of contrast in that area. The parasol is one that I'd bought during a sale that I thought would be pretty cute with my brown outfits.

For my jewellery, I preferred a more antique-looking sort of gold with the outfit to keep with the Autumn theme, so I added a necklace with a horse pendant on it. For some lighter colour, I also used a couple of ivory-coloured rose rings.

The hairband I chose is actually one that I spotted in a shop when my mum and sis were shoe-shopping. It looked like it would be perfect for a more casual loli outfit, so I bought it in three colours ^^; It seems a little flat for this outfit, though, so I added on a brown rose and a maroon rose just for colour once again.

How do you like this coordinate?

TaoBao Order!~

Quite a few months ago, I started browsing through TaoBao after drooling over so many dresses in Qutieland. I found out just how much cheaper it is to buy from other TaoBao shopping services compared to Qutieland, so when a friend of mine asked if I wanted to do a group order, I immediately took the opportunity to try it out!

This, sadly, isn't one a review post, but just a post to show what I've bought. The items are actually on their way to my friend's house already, but because of our schedules, we won't be able to meet up for another month.

So, while I'm waiting, I thought I might as well post about the stuff I bought!

Here goes:

1) Infanta Susan JSK. I bought this JSK and the matching hairband.


2) R-Series Antique Rosy JSK. I've been wanting this for so long that I didn't even think twice about ordering this ^^;


3) R-Series Lace Bolero. I bought the white one because it matches the Antique Rosy JSK. If this one fits well, I might buy the black version too! :)


4) I really really like this set! So much so that I bought the shirt in wine red and off-white and the skirt in wine red, off-white and white ^^ I figured that they'd be so easy to mix and match, and I can use the skirts as underskirts for short dresses. Also, I think I can pair the shirt with a pencil skirt for the office. Yay!



5) I really love this set! I actually wanted to order it with the blouse, but I was dumb and didn't read the entire thing, so I only get the corset and skirt ^^;;; But it's ok, I can order the blouse separately.


I really can't wait till they arrive! But since they aren't going to get here for a while yet, I've been rather tempted to buy a few more things on Bodyline... XP" We'll see if I can resist shopping for more lolita clothes for another month! Hahaha~

Toodles and take care~
