It's been a little while but I am back on form with another hypothetical capsule wardrobe, this time punk lolita inspired by the colours of the bisexual pride flag ^__^
Firstly - choosing a non-typical colour scheme made it very difficult. Black x red x white would have been easy as, but when do I take the easy route? You'll also notice the purple of the flag hardly features, just in that one tartan JSK and matching beret. Oh well. Regardless of difficulty, I think having more colours and having them not just be the stereotypical red tartan really makes this wardrobe pop.
Secondly - I'm not (aesthetically) punk. I struggle with punk looks much like I struggle with goth ones...oaky, punk is a little easier but not much! So realistically this wardrobe and the coords have more emphasis on the lolita rather than the punk.
Thirdly - a lot of punk vibes come from the person and styling of the person wearing it. If the wearer has a mohawk and tattoos and piercings, they'll immediately look more punk in any of these coords than say, me.
However I still had a lot of fun putting it together and I like the end result. Speaking of the end result, here's four coordinates with each main piece ^__^
I actually don't have too much to day about this set of coordinates. In retrospect, much as this OP has interesting details it feels a little too "safe" compared to the other options. Which was deliberate! I do try and have something that can be worn in an unremarkable way but I don't know. I feel like maybe I should have ignored that rule in this wardrobe.
Pink tartan, my favourite! Coord one is very safe, but in a way I prefer to the OP. I included the matching blouse and OTKS so that I could make this almost typically sweet coord, but felt they were still useful elsewhere too.
An unexpected love was coordinate four here. It's a mess, but a hot mess, and I would 10/10 wear that coord. I'm thinking that when I get into sewing more I may need to try and make a dupe of this Angelic Pretty cutsew because I am so into it.
Punkuma! There was no way I would do a punk capsule and not include something from this iconic Meta series. Again, loving the sailor cutsew but my favourite here is coordinate three.
As is usual lately, I did also make a YouTube video about this wardrobe, link below if you're interested.
I have one more capsule video/blog post int he works, and have an ongoing list of prompts to work from when inspiration strikes, so if you have a concept you want to see me try my hand at making please let me know ^__^
