main piece: btssb 3 tier karami babydoll JSK, 2007
brands: baby the stars shine bright, alice and the pirates, handmade by me, angelic pretty, axes femme
but other than that, i rly liked this outfit. i always feel frumpy in babydoll jsk bc it obscures my natural waist, but it's fun to play with different silhouettes sometimes! the staff at tenshi no sumika (volks dollfie store) complimented my handmade babushka, which made me super happy (γ Β΄ Λ `)

brands: maxicimam, wire head, emily temple cute, baby the stars shine bright, metamorphose, angelic pretty, CAPCOM
these btssb shoes remain one of my favorite pairs for long outings. they're a little loose and i got blisters from my feet sliding around the first time i wore them, but snice adding some rubber insoles, they're perfect and really comfortable if i'm doing a lot of walking.

i've been on a wicker kick lately too haha. i think my style leans pretty country lolita in the spring and early summer.
ps pretty much all my photos are silly out-and-about shots today bc my full length mirror broke while i was taking a coord shot today! rip!

i was a little overheated in this today, not because of weather but because some of the trains and stores aren't blasing AC yet and they get a lil stuffy. i was really comfortable outside.

main piece: btssb soap bear print corset style bustier and btssb snow dot skirt, 2025
brands: baby the stars shine bright, angelic pretty, chuomachi tactical crafts, abyssea, jennyfax x angelic pretty
a soft and dreamy coordinate like this, with a few avant garde mecha elements, feels sooo me. any outfit that would feel at home in mariko mori's 1994 tokyo photo series is my ideal styling tbh.
wore shopping in town

brands: metamorphose, baby the stars shine bright, angelic pretty, by the lake, shirley temple, alice and the pirates, MODO
the cutsew bunches up kinda awkwardly around my waist when tucked into the skirt, but looked sloppy untucked... i may only wear it under JSKs from now on.
other than that, i was really happy with this styling. i walked around this quite a bit today and enjoyed myself. (βΏβ βΏβ ) btw, i'll be putting up a special gallery page from the garden on my flowers page sometime soon.
wore to
styling focus: easter... kinda...
main piece: btssb scallop hem skirt, 2026
brands: baby the stars shine bright, angelic pretty, MODO
this coord was simple and very comfortable, i ended up spending a lot of time out and about in it. it includes a lot of knit elements, partly bc i just love lolita knits, but also because i was planning to go to 80 year old yarn shop in tokyo fairly near where i live. the shop turned out to be closed when i got there. i ended up just wandering around that area a little because it was new to me, then more wandering near the station by my house omw home. that first picture, with my three

styling focus: spring!
main piece: btssb sweet check skirt, 2006
brands: baby the stars shine bright, handmade by me, MILK, chocochip cookie, angelic pretty, MODO
the in store price for the item i wanted at CC was half the online shop, so i took my newfound surplus budget over to the local baby shop for some hairclips too. one of the baby shopgirls complimented my purse, and was surprised when i told her it's old baby

main piece: angelic pretty polka dot sherbet jsk, 2010
brands: angelic pretty, baby the stars shine bright, handmade by me
i forgot to doucment the cutsew i'm wearing here for my wardrobe, despite buying it almost 2 years ago. i couldn't find it on lolibrary and it never made it into my wardrobe spreadsheet. i've been researching it, and have dated it to around the mid-1990s, which would make it the oldest lolita garment in my wardrobe.
my favorite thing about this coordinate is how the cutwork lace on the cutsew, JSK bodice, and socks all echo each other.
wore to yokohama strawberry festival 2026
styling focus: committing strobbery
main piece: btssb velveteen babydoll jsk, 2005
brands: baby the stars shine bright, angelic pretty, handmade by me
unfortunately my shoe broke and lowkey ruined my day, but that's not this coord's fault. i still like what i styled, although i think i would've liked to add more strawberry into it.

main piece: btssb ribbon bouquet camisole and skirt, 2003
brands: baby the stars shine bright, alice and the pirates, anna sui, sasaco, naga, handmade by me
everything in this coord was baby either baby or alipi except my bloomers and some of the accessories. i made the choker myself to match the coord special. i was worried about being cold coming home after dark, but the venue was a comfortable temperature and i spent next to no time outside bc it was both connected to shibuya station and a straight shot up the train from my house.

i feel like i need to replenish the black fall/winter side of my wardrobe a bit, now that i live somewhere with an actual fall and winter. i'm lacking in black shoes bc my meta platforms are still in storage overseas. i ordered some bxw heart buckle shoes from baby that i'm still waiting for them to ship, and kinda want to buy some other less sweet black shoes as well. we'll see!

wore to a mecha musume model kit event
styling focus: mecha elements
main piece: btssb scallop hem jumperskirt, spring 2024
brands: baby the stars shine bright, angelic pretty, vivienne westwood, chuomachi tactical crafts, nonoyamaaki
but otherwise, i'm really happy with how this coord came out. the styling isn't the most interesting in the world, but i wanted to keep the base coord fairly orthodox so that bringing in the very non-lolita mecha accessories wouldn't be too conflicting.
my pose in the full outfit shot is utterly dripless because i'm not great at posing to begin with and i couldn't think of how else to pose with my mecha tatto visible. rip lol
wore to a shopping arcade near my house

luckily since i didn't go during the lottery period, and i was going for something other than the big ticket popular set this week, everything went smoothly and easily. the shop staff are always so pleasant 
it was really hot today, around 37 degrees. but gradient frill is made of light cotton fabrics for both the lining and outer material, so it wasn't too bad. i kinda regretted the long sleeves, but i was too happy with how i styled this outfit to change a thing. my rechargeable handy fan and UV cut parasol were lifesavers today.
this is one of my favorite coords i've styled in quite a while!

styling focus: inspired by ren from dears
main piece: baby the stars shine bright tiered karami babydoll jsk, spring/summer 2007
brands: baby the stars shine bright, angelic pretty, by the lake, antaina
the color palette of this coord is inspired by ren from dears, a manga i adore. i also wanted to wear 2000s lolita (which i do most of the time anyway, but still...) because the exhibition was for 2000s era art works.
