Haenuli’s Whipped Cream Kitty is all the more special to me in that it was a present from my boyfriend (mind you, a present I found, purchased through my Lacemarket account and then got refunded for, but still). Now it also has wonderful memories attached to it as I wore it to day one of Wicked and Whimsy where I had a total blast and got to meet Nunu from Haenuli in her very own dress. There’s always something new to be found in the print and this keeps giving me inspiration for new ways to wear it.
Look 1: Simplicity

Sometimes you just need everything else to step back and let the print shine. Whilst I have removed the detachable bows for a bit more colour cohesion, this remains a very dressy print so I wanted to place it at the centre stage. It’d be good for a casual meet or maybe just for visiting a friend in a non-Lolita context.
Look 2: Cookie Crumble

I wanted to pick at the cookie and biscuit themes in the dress for something that I haven’t quite done before. There definitely needs to be something blue at the top, such as a blue clip, to balance out the colours a bit better, but it’s still working pretty well. I realise that I’ve reused the shoes here, but heels felt a bit too mature for such a playful look.
Look 3: Ahoy there!

Yes, this dress is far from sailor themed. And yet because it’s predominantly tricolour it seems to work alright in a casual marine/retro inspired ensemble. The focus here really is on the colours, reds, whites and blues, rather than themes, and by adding an entirely different theme on top of the print it somehow seems that little bit less overwhelming. Or is it just me?
Look 4: Pink Chic

In all fairness, this is a work in progress. Accessories like pink wrist cuffs or more Sweet-style shoes and headwear would’ve pulled it together a little more like I imagined it, but it’s not too bad as is. The pearl bracelets and necklace really tied it together with the pearls on the beret and the hair clip, as well as with the more elegant heels, balancing out the Sweet blouse and socks. Still needs a bit more and a more polished finish. Any ideas?
I did my best to stay away from the things I’ve already done, namely pairing this JSK with a red blouse or goingfor white-red accents. There’s a lot more untapped potential there, however, it’d require a few more accessories to truly unlock it. Having said that, I’d love to experiment with this dress more and see if I can take it into new directions like something folk-inspired or going very OTT Whipped Cream Princess. Maybe next time…
