Cheap Brand Coord Challenge

Good day friends, affiliates, and otherwise! Today I come to you all with a post inspired by Cupcake Kamisama's post where she makes three sweet lolita brand coords as cheaply as possible using Wunderwelt and Closet Child's currently available items. I asked her if I could borrow the idea, and she said I could, so no one can say I'm copying or stealing!

The rules are simple:

• Everything must be brand, a well known Japanese brand, to be more specific.

• I must do the coord head to toe, excluding jewelry/accessories other than a head bow, and no petticoat since Closet Child doesn't have those

• Everything must be available for purchase as of the day I'm posting (on Closet Child)

• I have to do this as cheaply as possible (and the prices are in yen)

Sweet Lolita Coord

Sweet Lolita Coordinate
Item	Price	Link
BTSSB JSK	5940	here
META blouse	3800	here
BTSSB bow	1346	here
AP OTKs	1980	here
META shoes	4950	here
Total	18016

 

So the cheapest sweet lolita jsk was a BTSSB dress in an unfortunately rare shade of pink. This made my search for a match incredibly difficult, but there weren't enough white items on CC to provide a cheap option.

Gothic Lolita Coord

Gothic Lolita Coordinate
Item	Price	Link
IW JSK	6050	here
AP blouse	3850	here
AATP headband	2860	here
IW OTKs	1374	here
META shoes	4950	here
Total	19084

Now I started making these about a day ago, and Id originally had an 8000 yen jsk, but today I saw this new jsk for only 6000 yen, so I switched them out. Also, there weren't any black shoes that were both brand and cheap, so I decided to go with white. I then used the headpiece to hopefully tie in the white.

Classic Lolita Coord

IW JSK	4950	here
IW blouse	4400	here
IW OTKs	1980	here
IW bow	1320	here
META shoes	4950	here
Total	17600

A lot of items on CC walk the fine line between cream and white. I originally had a pair of brown tea parties for 9900 yen, but decided that, despite the arguable whiteness of them, the meta shoes would serve their part again. I'm not well enough versed in classic lolita, but I think I did a decent job with this one.

And there you have it folks! Three lolita coords all under $200! These items are all currently available as of the time I'm posting, and the links all work!
