Grey x Pink sweet appreciation!

Latedly I saw a beautiful Pink x Gray tartan from Angelic Pretty in auctions, which got me thinking.. how many sweet pieces in this colorway are even out there? Is it possible to build grey x pink wardrobe? I looked into lolibrary and was really surprised at the amount of grey pieces available!

It comes as no surprise that Innocent World and Victorian Maiden offer numerous classical grey pieces, either solid color or with stripes. Baby, the Stars Shine Bright also has an occasional grey tartan piece. The surprise: Angelic Pretty also makes great sweet lolita pieces in grey! Regarding the accesssories, there are a few and far between, but Jane Marple turned out to have a few nice pieces. Going through all the lolibrary's grey entries and picked my favorites to assemble a grey x pink wardrobe with! Pink pieces are numerous and therefore not shown. 
ALL IMAGES LEAD TO THEIR LOLIBRARY ENTRIES ON CLICK!


The first dress which comes to mind in pink x grey colorway is the expensive Cat's Tea Party. A special occasion dress for the wardrobe, however not the only one out there for our experimental wardrobe.




More pink x grey prints by Angelic Pretty, both very old, and also warm pieces.


 

Starting on nonprint dresses, an older tartan piece. And the salopette is absolutely adorable!

Purely grey pieces, could be combined with pink items or in the case of the JSK on the right, could be layered on pink dress like an apron!


 
Baby, the Stars Shine Bright grey x pink pieces.



There was not a good pick in blouses, classical blouses back be used under otherwise sweet dress. White or pink blouses could also be easily used in our grey x pink wardrobe!



Cutsews. I love cutsews, they are so comfy and harder to wrinkle than cotton blouses. The AP onsleeved blouse is indeed grey, on the grey background. The BtSSB camisole is particulary cute.



A few grey accessories!



 
The tippet could be used to put on top of a blouse if you absolutely need to add grey to that area of your outfit, but it would probably turn the outfit too classical and I don't see a main piece on our list which would look good with it. But if you put under a shorter one the chiffon petticoat on the right, then the chiffon peeking out would balance the tippet!


A few appropriate grey legwear.




Cardigans! Because it's not always summer. Indie and Jane Marple, here they go. The pockets on the indie cardigan on the first image are incredibly cute :3



 
When it gets really cold, everyone's glad to have a coat!. I like the BtSSB coat the most, it looks very warm and has pink ribbons on it!



A lot of image spam later, I can conclude that it's perfectly possible to build a grey x pink wardrobe if one so wishes! Theres great many pieces and when the grey is lacking, pink and white will supplement it. Even grey can make sweet outfits, as you've seen! Have an greyt day! :D (pun intended)

Twinkle Constellation and the Stars of Confeito


I didnt even dare to dream about this but I managed to got one of my dream prints! The Twinkle Constellation and the Stars of Confeito was released in 2012 by Baby, the Stars Shine Bright and the navy JSK was one of my first dream dresses ever.


The few times Ive seen the print on auctions, I always talked myself into not buying it. You know how it goes, 'its too expensive', 'the bow at the front is too big', 'I already have several navy dresses', 'I'll wait for the better colorway', ect. In meanwhile, I amassed a few other stellar dresses (Dreamy Horoscope, Cosmic) and a bunch of star themed accessories, so when I saw the navy skirt for auction (inside EU, too!), I jumped for it!



 


The skirt has fully flexible waist, and although the fabric is quite thin compared to my other Baby pieces, it is good quality instead of the stiff, wrinkly material I know from some of Bodyline products. And the golden color used in the print sparkles! I can combine it with navy, pink, sax, or even white, dress it up or dress it down, so Ive a good dozen more different coordinates already with my wardrobe just by getting this one piece!


Two sample coordinates with the skirt ♡
Casual and Meetup ready!


           
            Skirt: Twinkle Constellation and the Stars of Confeito
           
            Blouse: Left: AP cutsew; Right: Bodyline
           
            Shoes: An*Tai*Na
           
            Accessories: Offbrand, side the right navy bow from BtSSB.


I guess I mayyyyy have overdid it with the hair accessories on the right picture. Or maybe it would look better with twin tails =^.^=
 


I used these accessories for my hands. The wristcuffs are custom made from back when EGL Comm Sales was still a thing, but it would be great to also have the OTKs and similar styled jewelry to the series!

Retaking photo of my first coordinate after 4 years!

In my melancholic mood I've decided to compare myself of 2016 with myself of 2012, exactly the time I wore lolita fashion the first time, on my first meetup. Of course I barely had any frilly clothes four years ago, but I still keep my first brand dress! Actually, I've yet to do a closet cleaning (I'm a hoarder) so I could dress into my first ever complete coordinate again!

Autumn 2012
Autumn 2016
Blouse, Shoes, OTKs: Bodyline

Well, thats less diference than I expected. I changed hairstyles for the fringe favored in the fashion, lost a bit of weight, and learnt to take better outfit photos.

How did time change your outfit photos?
