Since I have an alternative hair cut, I only have a few options for loliable hairstyles, thusly I have a serious lack of hair accessories. I recently bought a wig so I can branch out a little more in this regard but I still don't have a whole lot of things to put on my head. On a related note, I have five different plain black bows. They're all different, despite being the same colour, and I somehow manage to use them all.
I make a lot of my own jewelry. About half my earrings and bracelets, and a third of my necklaces are all handmade by me. I really like making my own jewelry since it means I can tailor everything to my specific taste, since it can be hard to find cute jewelry with creepy themes that I like.
My absolute favourite theme to incorporate into my coords is bats. Right now, I only have a bat themed jsk and a bat necklace, but I also have some bat print fabric I plan on making into a skirt. I also recently ordered a super cute bat purse that should arrive soon and one of my next purchases will be Antique Beast's bat headress and those two things will likely end up in a LOT of my coords. However, besides bats, I have no other theme I can play off of without buying a bunch more things.
Right now, I only have four main colours in my wardrobe : black, white, pink and lavender. With the exception of a couple of offbrand items I've managed to coord, everything I own for lolita is one of those four colours.
One of the coords I'm the most proud of is an ero lolita coord pairing a sheer black blouse with my Twinklebat jsk worn as a skirt. I think I do a pretty good job of bringing a mature, sexy element to the coord while not sacrificing any of the lolita elements. Another coord I'm very proud of is a punk lolita coord that I have a variation of consisting entirely of offbrand or handmade items! Part of the reason I'm so proud of these two coords is because they're substyles that are rarely done because they're so hard to pull off, but I feel like they're some of my best coords.
With the exception of my Twinklebat jsk, every lolita item I own I spent a long time thinking over so I really, really love everything I own. I only buy things that will fit in with what I already own or plan to buy soon so I don't have a bunch of mismatched items I can't coord with anything. This is a great way to go about buying lolita but it was a habit I already had when I started buying lolita, lol.
Lastly, I have a pair of baby pink go go boots I intend to somehow coord with lolita. I have no idea how I'm going to manage this but I really, really want to try because I love style mixing so much.
