Layering Hair Accessories

One of the features of the OTT look in Lolita, whether it be sweet or classic, is all the layers of hair accessories. If you want to attempt it, I suggest you get a large wig to help balance the proportions on your head.

Stephanie used several roses, bows, and birds to make this layering happen. She wore a hime style wig to keep the accessories from overwhelming her head. The mint bows and pearl drape were handmade by me, the birds are available in crafts stores that have a floral section, as well as the roses, and there's a pink chocomint, plastic, bow clip with a crystal drop.

Wunderfluff isn't wearing a wig this time, instead she accommodates all of her accessories with a handmade bonnet. The bow in the middle is the Decoration Dream headbow, the candies were handmade by me(it wasn't my intention to make my accessories the trend of this post lol), the gems are just stickers you can find in the scrapbooking section of craft stores, and it is balanced out with a pink bow on her right side.

Thebitchyteadrinker's hair accessories include bonnets, rose crowns, strawberry clips, bear ears, star clips, pearls, and yes, that is a tea cup she's wearing on her head. I love her love of accessories. She is the kind of person who always wonders, "Can I put this on my head?" Often the answer is, "I'm totally putting that on my head."



Jordana(right) combines black roses and a veil for a dramatic Gothic coordinate. I think the gray wig was the perfect choice to contrast all the black layers on her head without sacrificing any of the somber tones of her look.

Jordana also has her own Lolita shop! Check out Mossbadger for some beautiful and unique accessories.





Sweetlyspooky also uses black roses in a goth coord, but she went in the punk direction with the skeleton hands and center bow. The symmetry gives the silhouette of having one large bow on her head.


 Thank you for reading! If you have a coord you love, please send it to me at lovelylunette at gmail so I can use it in a future post.
