Coordinates to try in 2022

Recently(ish) I posted to reflect on my coordinate goals from 2021. Even though I did forget that I'd set those goals for the majority of the year, I still liked having them. So I thought I'd do it again for 2022!

This list consists of some things that are carried over from last year, and some things that are wholly new.

Try OTT classic
I have sort of done OTT-ish classic before. A more opulent classic look is my go-to "proper lolita" style. But it's been a while and I want to see what 2022 Roli can do ^__^

A couple of my fancier classic coords.

Pair an OP with a blouse
Exactly what it says on the box. When I put together flatlays, I often pair short sleeve onepiece dresses with a blouse underneath, and I really like it. But I've never done it in real life and I think that needs to change!

Keen to wear this exact combo one day!

Make a "typical" sweet coord
I want to do a cute, pastel, fluffy kind of sweet lolita coord because I've never really done that before, and I want to! I'm thinking a bit like Princess Peachie in her heyday, or Rosalynn from Lolita Wonderland. Not exactly OTT by today's standards, but very, very sweet. Honestly, I think they thing that stops my more typically sweet coords from quite reaching this vibe is largely a matter of hair and make-up (and accessorising) so this may end up being a photoshoot look.

Wear my non-fawn fur
This is carried over from last year, because I totally failed at doing it at all ^__^

I mean, that's because it's mostly fawn fur...but still!

Coord a corset
Another 2021 goal, but this time I'm better prepared. Last year, I forgot that my only lolita-suitable corset does not match any of my currently-fitting clothes. This year, I'm either going to delve into ero with another corset, or (more likely) make myself a gobelin waist cincher, because I want one anyway. 

At least one kimono coord
Honestly, this is just a slight tweak on last year's "wear more wa lolita" but I wanted to be more specific about what I wanted - to wear a kimono in place of a blouse, with or without an obi. I may also be modifying some kimonos into lolita clothing, but as with all sewing plans I have, let's not hold our breath on that.

My favourite kimono coordinate so far.

Wear my bonnet
My last goal is also a repeat - I want to wear my lovely old-school bonnet! Probably for a photoshoot, as it's not really my everyday vibe, or maybe I'll organise an old-school meet up when it feels safe. Going to try really hard to make this one happen!

And that's it! That's the lolita coords I want to try and make happen in 2022. Do you have any "goal" coords?

  1. I love your coordinate goals! I think my coordinate goal for myself this year is trying a winter coordinate with a coat and bear muffler I bought! I even decided the occasion, the Sakura Matsuri event in july <3 I hope I can do it!

  2. Making goals around what to wear is very much the way forward. Even if you forget about these later, it puts your mind in the frame of focusing on wearing things and trying new things instead of obtaining new items, which is always good. Someone on my Discord server shared a No Buy Support Wardrobe Challenge, which looks really fun and might help facilitate some of those goals that you've listed above? Let me know if you'd like me to send you the picture with the prompts.

    1. It totally is the way to go! I've kind of gotten bored of buying things, to an extent, I just want to enjoy what I have.

      And yes please, I'd love that!
