Outfit Reflection

This was a straightforward Pin-up Dolly/Retro Girly style coordinate. My inspirations were drawn from Katie's shop staff stylings and similar coordinates from Larme.

Larme 020. (If you can't tell already, this is probably my favorite Larme scan.)

I love it when red is paired with denim! And the shorts and knee socks combination is a super cute summer time staple.

As for accessories, wire bow/rabbit ear style headbands are a natural match for denim. Both wire bow headbands and denim can strike the perfect balance between girly and casual.

My first instinct was to accessorize with a denim wire bow headband, but I remembered how much I loved the red and pink color combination. The pink headband created the opportunity for me to wear my pink Angelic Pretty pochette, which I had largely neglected since I left Lolita fashion. 

The convenient thing about red statement pieces is that they don't need a lot of color balancing. I added a badge pin with some red detail, but I think the colors would have been fine without it too.

I also took a video selfie because I liked this outfit so much, haha. (＞人＜)
