♔: 5 Christmas Print Coordinates :♔

Sorry this is a week late. My laptop that I normally used broke (the battery finally died after four years). I usually put together my coordinate ideas with photoshop so I was rather sad. I made some nice backgrounds for this! However, i have a desktop and it has MS Paint so I used that to put together my ideas. I hope everyone likes my ideas!

Yay! Christmas cookies!

I love gingerbread!

First coordinate I bring to you is from ETC. I am really into the otome style right now. When I first saw this print a few months ago, I totally fell in love. Not only is it ETC, but its gingerbread! From the looks of print, its not that Christmas-y (probably due to the colors) but the theme is perfect! Gingerbread men! It is a really lovely print. I'm not huge into pink dominate coords (which is weird cuz I love the color pink) but the print pulled me in. The belt also accents the dress nicely! It took me a little while to come up with a coordinate idea for this dress. I am really in love with the coordinate I created. One of these days I will own it! At least, I hope so (another dream dress to add to the list...).

Favorite Christmas dress!

Next up is one of my favorite Christmas prints, Holy Night Story by Angelic Pretty. I remember when this got released two years ago, I instantly fell in love. The details on the print are really amazing. Its nice and playful and reminds me of Christmas when I was a child. It is just a really fun print. I also really love this JSK style. The military style dresses are increasingly becoming my favorite style and this dress in particular started it. It reminds me of a toy soldier... It's really adorable. The details across the bodice on this is quite nice. I could go on and on about this print but for the sake of my readers I will stop here  (;;´･ω･)o

Toys!!

Another print that I really enjoy, Metamorphose's  Toy Box. It was released back in 2006. A good friend of mine actually owns this dress. The pictures really do not do it justice. The details of the print are really something. Just like Holy Story Night, I really enjoy the details of this print. It has a bunch of different toys. Its a fun print and really capture the child-like nature of how Christmas can be. It was a little tricky coming up with a coordinate for this dress but I enjoyed it. Trying to find red colored blouses that would match this was a toughie! I think what brings this coordinate together is the red shoes. Its such a nice red! One of these days I need to get me a pair of red shoes!

Christmas time!

Yes another Angelic Pretty coordinate. Every year they seem to come out with at least one Christmas print. However in 2010 they released two! Its a more toned down print. It gives a more mature, elegant look compared to Holy Story Night. When I first saw this dress two years ago I was really drawn to the embroidered print. Its gold! It really captures the feeling of a bright Christmas... This colorway reminds me of a white Christmas morning and how the ornaments just dance in the sunlight. Sorry that was pretty cheesy but thats what it reminded me of. I am pretty satisfied with my coordinate idea. I think its elegant but at the same time girly and that is something I wanted to capture with this idea.

Nutcracker action!

Last but not least I bring to you an Alice and the Pirates coordinate. To be honest, I haven't watched play "The Nutcracker" in its entirety... I will one of these days! Anywho, I really love the plaid on this! I'm not really huge into plaid but I think it gives off a nice warm vibe, especially with this dress. Normally when I see nutcracker themed things, plaid is usually associated with it. I had a hard time choosing between the red and green colorway. In the end I chose the green colorway. I love the contrast between the colors. Red and green go nice together (yay opposite colors!) and it also provides a nice Christmas image in the mind.It also allows the print at the hem of the dress to really pop! I actually wouldn't mind owning this dress one day.

Overall I am really proud of myself with my little Christmas project I did. Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year and it made me realize how important it really is to me. I personally love giving gifts to people, especially those who I really care about. In a away, I feel my coordinate ideas was like a gift to my readers and to the lolita community. People sometimes get stuck when coming up with ideas on how to create an outfit. I hope my little coordinates were able to inspire someone, like how the inspired me to keep on creating more ideas! Now, if I could only have the money to buy these dress.... (●´∀｀●)
