Old Thread saging into oblivion >>9466571

WW has been on a roll adding a bunch of old school items to their main site and to their account on LM. Somebody hit the BIN on a btssb cake purse seconds before I did. One second it was there, the next it was sold out. I miss the old cake bags and cake hats.

Anybody have any old school lolita twinning/coord matching photos?

Yes, and they looked just as silly. I hate mini hats though so maybe it's a matter of personal taste.

So I'm not very good at posing creatively either, but here are some tips for looking decent if you need to pose quickly for candids or group shots and you haven't figured it out yet.
>arms
My go to is the bag loop+light skirt touching like in pic related. This isn't the only look, but it's fool proof. You don't want to squish your skirt, but you don't want to do the pulling-at-the-skirt meme either. Bending your elbow and just touching the side is good. For the other arm, you can hold your bag in the crutch of your arm, so it doesn't look so posed. If you don't have a handbag, lightly touch your shoulder with your pointer finger and slightly curl the other fingers in so your hand looks pretty. Avoid touching your face because it looks uguu but you can lightly touch your hair.
>legs
If you have skinny legs, do whatever the fuck you want. You can do whatever bendy crossy leg stuff, just practice in a mirror so you don't look like you have to pee. Just don't stand with your legs spread or severely pigeon toed.
If you have larger but still thin legs (like the girl in pic related on the left) standing slightly pigeon toed will help your legs look smaller. Keep your toes touching and your heels slightly apart. Don't get crazy, though. If you point your toes out, your legs will look stockier than they are.
If you have chubby legs, chances are your ankles are still pretty small. You want to accentuate this by keeping your ankle area thin. By bending one knee and turning it slightly in front of the other, you can turn your foot out and create like an ankle hourglass. I'll post a pic. It's not great, but it looks better than just twin stumps.
>head
Just naturally look at the camera. But if you know you're in an area where the lighting is shitty and all coming from above (like a con) you can try tilting your chin up so the lights don't accentuate the unflattering shadows on your face as much. The cutest smiles are the happy ones~

Is old school starting to become the next big trend? I'm seeing a lot of old school inspired coords on CoF and people are buying usakumyas left and right.

>tfw lolita fashion is evolving and moving on and you're not ready to let go
it's undeniable, even my precious btssb is just clusterfuck chiffon prints now.
