Recent Coords - June - July 2025
Another blogpost of some recent coords! The UK has been in full heatwave swing lately so it’s been difficult to wear full coords, but in the spirit of my lolita stubbornness, I will persevere! Here are some recent coords I’ve been experimenting with lately!
Simple Gingham for a day out with friends
With the intense heatwave in the UK, it’s been hard to wear full lolita, this day was 30 celcius so I knew a blouseless coord was likely. I hadn’t worn this Angelic Pretty jsk in probably well over a year , and it’s the perfect blouseless sundress. I got it for a great price and forgot about it in my wardrobe! It’s a halter neck back and is amazing for the heat, with the exception of having a polyester lining. I wore some super long extensions because I felt this coord needed an extra something, and sewed them into my headdress! (an amazing life hack). I paired the simple coord with white accessories, and went out for a bubble tea and met a super cute chihuahua in the park!

My friends and I decided to have a cute afternoon of tea and museuming at the Wallace Collection! It’s such a lovely quiet museum and is a great place for an EGL photoshoot. I decided to go super OTT this day, opting to wear this beautiful shiro trumpet sleeve op for the first time out! It was so dreamy, and I loved the full shiro look with my la luice bag! I styled my hair super big with a canotier for a slight hime gyaru vibe. The tea room is so lovely, and I reccomend going for an afternoon!

My friends and I had a day out getting Bingsu in Soho, we went to Shibuya Cafe and the Bingsu was surprisingly yummy! I got matcha, and it cooled me down in the blistering heatwave. I wore my tartan baby jsk without a blouse because of the heat, yet wore boots for some reason... I love these chunky YRU boots with clear bottoms, they’re so silly and random. I wore my hair in backcombed pigtails so I opted for a mini hat to balance out the volume of my hair! I felt so cute and momoko inspired with the red jsk and bxw accessories!

I had a day of antique and vintage shopping, I actually didn’t buy anything the whole day, but I did put together a cute kuro coord. I based my coord around this new (but definitely old) La Luice bunny bag. I assume it’s from the 00s but I’m not sure? It was blisteringly hot this day so I felt like a headpieceless coord would allow more breathability, so I opted for my hair up in pigtails. The outfit feels very early 00s egl to me, a little bit sweet but also some punkier elements like the short skirt and big shoes.

I had taken a three week break from EGL at this point, due to going away and it being unbearably hot, but when I was back in London I wanted to get back into feeling sweet and cute. This coord was put together around this new AP blouse I just ordered directly from their site. I wanted a hime gyaru esque outfit, and I love wearing this huge bonnet out so I tried to go a bit more OTT then usual! I was dressing up to go see an exhibition about Leigh Bowery with my mum, hence I felt a full coord was fitting for the theme! I added hime gyaru ish accents like the heels with the gems and my boston bag which works perfectly with my usakumya charm! I also got new glasses so I felt they’d work perfectly in a sweeter coord!

Pink Oldschool picnic coord
My friends and I went for a summer picnic and I finally wore a full coord with this JSK! this Baby JSK was such a dream piece and the cut is so adorable and sweet but still gives oldschool vibes. I went for a very pink look with my customised Westwood bag and tea parties for comfort. I love these extensions and how ott they make a coord!

Lilac maid Pancake coord!
On Monday I went with some of my Lolita friends for fluffy pancakes and curry with a kbeauty shop inbetween! I had just gotten this amazing lilac OP in the post and needed to coord it in a maid ish outfit with my Baby heart apron (heart detached) and white accessories including this AP bonnet which I adore! I felt very ott yet still managed to keep my colour palette light and simple for summer, the red hair and extensions adds a pop of colour making the coord feel a bit more street snap ish / fruits inspired!
