Lolita Blog Carnival: Create A Flower Themed Coordinate

Hello, everyone!

Yesterday there was a hanami celebration in our local Japanese style garden. I would have loved to go, but came down with a flu, and therefore couldn't. Just my typical luck... I had planned to wear something like this for the hanami, and since it fits the Lolita Blog Carnival theme for today, I decided to post it like this anyway. (The original plan was to post it worn, but since I'm feeling rather anti-fabulous at the moment, this will have to do.)

You've already guessed it; my chosen flower for this coordinate is rose, one of my favourite flowers. Not very original, but I happen to own many rose print dresses, so it was an obvious choise. I wanted to make the coordinate very sweet and pastel coloured, fit for a spring stroll  or a summer picnic. The dress is Angelic Pretty's Lady Rose JSK, one of my dream dresses. The Minna Parikka bunny ear shoes I chose not only because they match the colours, but also because they are very comfy and easy to walk with in a park.


To emphasize the rose theme, I would wear lots of roses in my hair, and a self-made rose bracelet on the wrist. For legwear I would have chosen airy lace thigts in nude or white.


P.S. If you want to, please feel free to share your favourite flower(s) in the comments! I'm curious, if any of you have the same favourites as I. I actually have a new favourite flower in addition to my age old addiction to roses; tulips! Unfortunately I don't own any tulip themed dresses or accessories, and those might be really heard to find indeed. But still, they are so lovely to have in ones home, when it's not quite spring yet, and you'd wish it was.

P.P.S. Remember to check out the other LBC participants this week, too:

  1. I really love the colours and shapes of pansies, especially the purple and yellow ones. It reminds me a lot of Alice in Wonderland, too!
    This is a lovely co-ordinate, by the way!

  4. Daisies are my thing. I like many flowers in general but to wear, daisies take my heart

    1. That's a rather unique favourite flower to have! I like almost all flowers, too, but right now roses (white) and tulips (pink) are on top of my list. ^^

  5. Is it unique for you? It's everywhere in England, daisy print is extremely common. But it means more for me :P

    1. Here in Finland it's not that common in (mainstream store) prints or accessories, so yes, for me it is unique! I can't even remember when I've last seen something with daisies on it. I didn't know it was such a popular motif in England. Do you have any idea, why that might be? :}

    2. No idea. But daisies are everywhere, you'll find a patch in most bits of grass so it's an easy one to replicate and people here have a fondness for them
