Lolita 52: My "signature" outfit

You know, when I got up to this topic I really couldn't figure out what my signature outfit was. To be honest, I didn't think I had one, especially because I don't actually wear lolita too often. Flat-lays don't count for this! And besides, what I like and what I wear tend to be different animals. In the end, I went through my lolita outfit album and I found that there were actually two repeated outfits (or at least, item combos) that I have worn three times each over the years.

The first combo was not at all surprising; my Chocoberry skirt, a black top, red beret and red shoes. I think I wore all of these for uni! I do love red and black and berries and to be honest this is an outfit I'm probably going to continue wearing variations on.

The second one was also not surprising when I thought about it; my Lyris Design underbust JSK with an offbrand blouse and a brown beret. I just love this blouse with the JSK and what can I say, berets are awesome! I wore this outfit for a better range of scenarios: probably uni, a photoshoot, and a local convention (awkwardly cropping out my friend Nat)!

Honestly I was kind of surprised to see that I did have this much repetition and could identify two "signature" outfits. To be fair, these coords are all from 2016 and earlier, so my wardrobe was smaller and I was also wearing simpler outfits with some regularity for university. It will be interesting to review my outfit timeline again in a few years and see if any other patterns emerge, or whether I still will gravitate towards certain coordinations.

Do you have a lolita outfit you keep coming back to? Or even a particular item, like me and berets?
