One Item Three Ways Thursday #5

I noticed that I haven't used any offbrand items in any of my One Item Three Ways Thursday posts. I thought I could use this gorgeous red skirt from bodyline (which I own and love to pieces if you couldn't tell by the header!).

Gothic Glamor by MandaPlz featuring heart handbags
For my first look, I went for an edgy gothic look.  I used a pair of dark lace up boots and a black ruffley high collared blouse to add a traditional gothic flair to a more classical skirt. I used the pirate style H.Naoto jacket, striped tights and Vivienne Westwood bag to add more edge. I left the hair simply curled with a slight side part and a little cameo bow to not detract from the rest of the outfit.

I played up the granny style print in this simple classic style outfit.  I added some maroon lace up shoes, quilted bow purse and a lacy bolero to add  vintage flair. The hair should be styled soft and airy to make sure the outfit doesn't end up too stuffy looking. The roses add a dainty touch and make the outfit more color balanced.

Elegant in Ero by MandaPlz featuring fishnet stockings
This is by far the sexiest of all of the outfits! I thought I should just play up the corset lacing in the front by putting it over another corset. ♫Double corset all the way across the- *gets pulled off with cane* ...anyway, the lace tights, sheer bolero, and bow covered gloved exemplify give-and-take sexiness. The cute heart theme mary janes and rose head band continue the flirty vibe.
I hope you enjoyed~!

Bulletin!

I won't be able to post a One Item Three Ways Thursday tomorrow because I am heading over to my friend's house for some pre-Tekkoshocon cosplay work.  I'm so excited because my personal friend and fellow blogger Emily are doing a panel on Kpop!
I felt like maybe I should show some of my Kpop related coords due to the slight relevance.

Japanese Street Style...For Prom?

Maybe it's because of Sadie Hawkins Dance approaching, maybe it's the sequin vomit prom dress catalogs arriving, or maybe just the reminder of warm weather (whenever Pennsylvania allows that to happen AMIRITE?), but lots of my fellow peers are in preparation for prom season. I honestly couldn't care less because I'm a junior, but my mother is convinced otherwise (it certainly doesn't help that she didn't go to prom when she was in high school). I decided for fun to make prom theme coordinates based on several popular Harajuku styles.

Formal Fairy Kei by MandaPlz featuring cocktail dresses
I think fairy-kei would be the easiest to create for prom. Tulle tutu style prom dresses are rather easy to find in fairy-able colors like pink, teal, lilac, and others. What makes these dresses is the styling! Go for the most plasticy barbie looking shoes possible (bonus points if the have hearts or stars on them!) with colorful pastel socks or tights. Accessorize with cartoony shaped bags, colorful wrist cuffs, and cute hair bows. The split wig isn't totally necessary, but if it is prom you might as well go all out!

Gothic Gala by MandaPlz featuring print dresses
I went for a cute Romantic Goth and Aristocrat couple coordinate. I used an elegant chiffon Moi meme Moitie dress for the focus and added lacy tights and peep toe shoes to make it more prom appropriate. The bow encrusted elbow length gloves, drapey necklace, feathery purse and head piece add a luxurious feel. The male outfit (or significant other-for all of my lesbian and bisexual readers!) has a slightly ruffled blazer, pinstripe pants, dress shoes and a bow jabot blouse.  The looked is topped off (pun intended) with a lovely black top hat.

Dolly Kei and Mori Girl for prom by MandaPlz featuring facets jewelry

I went for a more layered Dolly-kei inspired prom ensemble on the left. It is actually two different dresses layered to add more of an eclectic vintage flair.  I added a pair of soft rose lace up heels, vintage belt, and layered necklaces for more a quirky second hand aesthetic . The floral bag and bunches of roses as a dainty girly feel.  It is completed by the one of a kind button accented elbow gloves.  
The look on the right has more of a laid back feel, which suits the Mori Girl mentality more.  The dress is just formal enough for prom with the right touches. I added a cape and tights for more modesty and formality. The hair is styled in a simple curly side pony that is just formal enough for prom, with natural looking braid accents. I added more of a floral theme with ivory rose detailed shoes, bag and hair piece. 

Hope you enjoyed and happy prom!
I also have to apologize for not posting a "One Item Three Ways Thurdays" post this or last Saturday. I thought this special article would make up for me forgetting to post last week.
