Angelic Pretty - Nakayoshi Ginger Cookie Blouse (2021) in Brown and Ivory

Went out for lunch on the weekend to catch up with some friends. Wearing my recently acquired Nakayoshi Ginger Cookie dress. The browns match my hair haha

Nakayoshi Ginger Cookie JSK and Blouse

This time we are looking at the upcoming jsk and blouse release by Angelic Pretty. It’s a cute print with gingerbread cookies and the blouse has a lovely piping theme to achieve that perfect gingerbread cookie look! Except for me there are a couple of things I’d like to change to make it appeal to me better personally.

How would I fix it?

I feel that the colors need the most adjusting. Everything looks a bit dull and the print is lacking some contrast. But then there is a very dark brown blouse with very vibrant pink details and also some relatively dark details on the dress but the colors are very de-saturated. So this just needs some balancing. The dress with the blouse manages to lack contrast and have too much contrast at the same time. So I balanced the distribution of the values and added vibrancy to the pinks and sax blues of the print. I also changed the bows into pink bows and added a bigger bow on top. The gingerbread cookies seemed like they are floating around on the hem so I added a brown background that ties them together. I felt the tiny polka dots on the top of the jsk were unnecessary and replaced that with solid light brown. I also modified the shape of that part to rounder forms and added the piping detail there to unify the coord when worn with the blouse. In the blouse I moved the sleeve details lower as they felt a bit weird so high up.

(NOTE: This is just my personal, humble opinion, though being quite direct with my opinion I mean no disrespect by any means!)

The pouch for Melody Toys and Nakayoshi Ginger Cookie 🥰

!!! ap usa updated, they have nakayoshi ginger cookie!

unfortunately the skirt is confirmed $275, which is like. a lot. but if arin pays me back the rest of the apartment deposit I can still afford christmas and the sock machine and that without screwing myself out of allowance. I will think about it.
