ITT: Ita Staples Worn Right

[Anonymous No.10259968]

I get sad when I see fairly cute dresses or items turn into ita staples. Let's show there is hope in looking good in commonly bad worn items.

If this coord was on anyone other than a cute thin asian you'd think it was ita. The black shoes don't work with the ott sweet styling and the rilakkuma bag is shoehorned in. This is hardly "worn right".

*poor wording on my part as it's not really ott, but my point still stand that the shoes don't match

This dress makes me sad. The original is actually a great dress but too many shitty replicas were made of it, and then worn badly by itas to the point that when I see it I just roll my eyes. It's so sad because there is nothing wrong with it except the association.>>10259984

How to actually wear an ita staple well:

>dont cheap out on any other items and accessories. Your dress is already trash so you mush elevate it with everything you've got.

>Be not fat, have good hair and makeup

>Filters. Lots of creamy and saturated filters to hide your shame.

I like Soft Cream too. The print is actually pretty cute. It is a shame the material is so sad.
I agree with the other anon though, if you wear high-quality items with it you can negate it a bit.

Soft cream gets some of the best BL coords tho, it’s prints like the clock print and the skull one that got a lot of ita

[Anonymous No.10260212]

So, this is basically a bodyline worn right thread?

Share some successful coords with one or more of the following: striped socks, mini hat, lace monsters, arm warmers, leg warmers, etc

striped socks go well with a navy theme. what I'm interested in is miniskirt coords. I never see examples of those posted. I have some brand photos saved, but no non-brand miniskirt coords.

Nayrt, Legitimate question since I'm still new to the fashion and I thought it look nice and balanced,
Why?

[Anonymous No.10260415]

>>10260257
I find their prints are more plastic-y looking than their solids. It isn't awful or anything. Also, the fabric on solid Bodyline is way different from Baby. This is not meant as a negg, but if you don't see a difference in those two or care, maybe it won't bug you. The print is cute and good for casual stuff either way.

[Anonymous No.10260418]

>>10260413
Different Anon, but it is kind of unbalanced. Lots of red on top with not enough red in the socks/shoe area.

If the shirt had a white collar, I think it might be more balanced.
If I was going to nitpick the socks theme looks bad with the skirt. It might be a preference thing. It looks too classic with the sweet outfit.
While the wrist cuffs do match in theme, white ones would have been better for balance. It could have drawn more white into the coord to balance the socks.
If the top had been white, the red beret would have been good to pull up the red color, but with the red shirt it looks top-heavy with red.

If you look at the top and bottom split up they look like different coords.

Not that this girl committed some huge sin, I bet she is starting out and will get better. It isn't ita or anything.
Hope this makes sense.

Not the anon who posted it, but it's kinda growing on me. The stripes match the harsh lines of the contrast stitching and I think that's what makes it work.

[Anonymous No.10260610]

>>10260415
Like I said only bodyline print I have is skull jsk so I can't talk for all but the one I have is not plasticy at all. I have a couple baby dresses too (mostly solids) and if it was a blind-fabric-test or something I couldn't tell which is which. If soft cream's fabric is worse than the ones I have I'll probably pass tho.

Honestly I have the skirt from way back in my babby lolita days, and I still wear it and like it. I don't post it anywhere, but I like it when I want to feel cute and not be bothered with an expensive skirt

I think attitude is a big make it or break it aspect of this. When you buy bodyline or cheaper dresses with the intention of putting in less effort; it shows. When you are on a budget strictly because of the numbers, but you invest just as much effort as if it were brand; then I think you get these nice examples.

I don't mind if it suits the substyle, but , regarding the use of piercings and tatoos, I guess it's not an uncommon opinion. A lot of people are vocal about it.

Piercings and tatts are not in the Japanese source material.

With that said, people have tatts and piercings independent of their coord. You don’t add or remove them easily.
It’s just a part of who you are.

the pink of the ribbon is in the floral gobelin. I think if the all the pinks weren't so well matched, it wouldn't work at all but I think it does and its an interesting combination imo.

OP's picture only looks good because it has a decent backdrop. Out of place black shoes with a rikkakuma backpack is ita AF. She's an attractive woman in an attractive changing room and that's it.

Basic but passable. Better wig and better makeup would help.

Striped socks seem to have become ita but most older lolitas remember they were pretty normal and accepted. Only new lolitas think they're an ita staple.
>>10261412
This is really hideous. It's like they put together a regular gothic outfit and realised they actually didn't have a black dress so they shoved on anything. The shoes and the hat just eurgh.

There's that really old post from way back when. Some girl cut up a few Bodyline dresses and then put them back together again.

iirc one of the dresses she did was the clock print. Though I can't find the post again now though.

more like those that are interested in one are often interested in other alternative things - think of people who like rockabilly but also like lolita, lolita and vkei, lolita and BJD, etc etc.
