LBC: A Lolita Coordinate Based on a Constellation.

This week's Lolita Blog Carnival topic was one I was super excited to do--a coordinate based on a constellation! I wanted to make sure I used a dress I own (in this case, I have ordered and am just waiting on), so I did some digging for constellations visible to the naked eye that tend to come out around this time of year and settled on Cassiopeia. Cassiopeia is a gorgeous constellation that is supposed to represent the mythological Greek figure sitting on her throne, or some of the points on her crown.

The story behind Cassiopeia is a pretty well-known one--she was cast into the sky because she boasted that she was more beautiful than sea nymphs. It also happens to have a jellyfish named for it, hence why I decided to use my Lost in Sea Blue jumperskirt in this coordinate.

Generally, the theme for this coordinate was pretty straightforward--I wanted to work with gold due to the buttons on the jumperskirt, as well as what Cassiopeia appeared to be wearing in the painting I found of her. I added a decadent bodychain (which is my new addiction) to add an extra hint of gold. 

I layered my asymmetrical Peace Now skirt underneath the JSK to add an extra layer of decadence to the outfit, and decided against a blouse to kind of mimic what Cassiopeia is usually depicted as wearing. I really love the tights I used because it made it look like your feet are fading into starlight in a sense. 

The gold crown I found from an Etsy store and would be darling worn over your forehead with the bangs of the mahogany Lockshop wig arranged around it. Again, I just wanted to include as many star-themed things in the coordinate. One day I will actually get my hands on that gold Angelic Pretty bag...

Hope you enjoyed this post! Check out the other coordinates that were created this week!
