My entry for the 2021 Arisu Fashion Market virtual fashion walk. The theme was "summer" so I chose gingham, sheer short sleeves, and a straw boater hat. It was hot outside but I felt too cute to care much. I felt really in my element in this coord and I think it shows. Most fashion walks and dramatic outfits in darker colors (which I tend to choose) feel too serious for waves and big smiles but this is how I am around people I like! I especially like the shot at the beginning standing in the daisies, even if I got lots of mosquito bites in the process.

The full video is available here (link opens in new window).

I also got a line drawing of this outfit commissioned for a lolita fashion coloring book illustrated by Erikari, an Italian artist with a very very cute drawing style. Please check out her work here! She sells both digital and hard copy versions of the coloring book. Can't wait to color myself in!
