LBC: "Your Signature Look"

This week's Lolita Blog Carnival theme is "Your Signature Look". I decided to throw an outfit together that really shows my personal style (buuut I was too lazy to put it on...so have a floordinate). Here it is!

Jumperskirt and red ribbon pin: Emily Temple Cute
Blazer: Ann Taylor
Headbow: Angelic Pretty
Sunglasses: Tory Burch
Socks: Kate Spade
Necklace: H&M
Lemon clip: Taobao
Shoes: Vintage

My signature look is a toned-down and otome inspired, often with some kind of coat or jacket. I like pulling multiple colors into my outfits to make them more interesting and fun.

"Design a Coordinate Based on your Favorite Meal"

Hey everyone! I recently was accepted to join the Lolita Blog Carnival, a group for bloggers about lolita fashion. Each week, a new topic is chosen for the members to post, and this week's was to design a coordinate based on your favorite meal!

My favorite meal has been the same for years - orzo salad. It's a pasta dish that I've always loved, ever since the first time my mother made it for me when I was quite young. The flavors work so well together to create a savory dish that's easy to make and extremely enjoyable!

I knew immediately that it would be hard to create an outfit based off this meal since the colors might look obscure together in an outfit. I decided to use clothes from my own wardrobe for this challenge.

Here is what I came up with!

JSK: Handmade by my sister!
Bag: MILK
Tights: Triple Fortune (borrowed from my sister, haha)
Shoes, blouse, hat: Offbrand

I used a dress that my talented sister made for me, in a beige/ivory color to represent the pasta, red tie, shoes, and roses to represent the tomatoes and cranberries, and a green blouse along with tights accented with green to represent the arugula, basil, and scallions. I added a gold bag and belt to represent the finishing touch of the dish: pine nuts!

Here's the recipe if anyone's interested!
