Hello deer, this is Seri 🌸

There comes a time when your soul quietly begins to bloom. You find yourself longing for softness, for tenderness, for beauty that feels like it was made just for you. Maybe you’re still searching, for your style, your voice, your way of being. Maybe you want to feel more feminine, more delicate, more you… but you’re not sure where to begin :

This is a safe place to start 👒

Here, we explore styles that whisper rather than shout.

Aesthetics woven from lace, poetry, wildflowers, and ribbon-tied dreams.

Whether you feel drawn to the soft flirtation of coquette, the fairytale charm of dollette, or the wistful intellect of romantic academia, each one holds space for a different part of you, the playful, the poetic, the tender-hearted.

You don’t have to fit into one box. You can try them all. Blend them. Make them your own.

This is your invitation to dress with feeling. To let your wardrobe become a mirror of your heart. To fall in love with being gentle again, with yourself, with the world, with the beauty you carry inside.

🌸— A gentle guide to wearing softness like a second skin

1. Dollette

Like a porcelain doll wandering through a field of forget-me-nots.

The dollette aesthetic is all about embracing tenderness, innocence, and nostalgic sweetness. When dressing dollette, imagine you’re stepping into a picture book from another era ; gentle, vintage, and ethereal.

Start with pastel tones : soft pink, lavender, baby blue, cream.

Choose clothing that feels light and floaty: puff-sleeve blouses, tiered skirts, delicate pinafores. Ruffles, lace trims, and bow accents are your best friends. Think of textures like cotton, chiffon, or embroidered linen, anything that feels like a spring breeze against your skin.

Accessories play a key role: dainty pearl earrings, lace socks, velvet ribbons in your hair.

Mary Janes or ballet flats are ideal, shoes that feel as though they belong in a fairytale. Add a vintage handbag or a small crossbody with floral patterns.

Makeup is gentle and light, soft blush on your cheeks, a touch of pink on the lips, fluttery lashes. Let your hair be free or styled in half-up ribbons or a soft braid.

Dressing dollette is not about looking like a child, it’s about embracing delicacy, sweetness, and a kind of poetic innocence that many of us carry within.

2. Coquette

Like a love letter tied with silk ribbon, kissed by rose petals.

The coquette aesthetic blends sweetness with subtle sensuality. It’s a dance between elegance and allure a vintage soul wrapped in lace and charm.

Start with feminine silhouettes: corset-style tops, slip dresses, delicate cardigans. The coquette girl wears blush pink, ivory, crimson, and sometimes even black, always balanced with softness. Choose satin, lace, silk, anything that whispers on the skin. Vintage nightgowns worn as dresses, babydoll tops with frills, stockings with garters, all create that dreamy flirtation.

Accessories are key: satin bows, heart-shaped jewelry, vintage chokers, lacy gloves. Small handbags or clutch purses add an old-Hollywood flair. Footwear can range from kitten heels to delicate ballet flats.

The coquette makeup look is flushed and glowing. Think rose-tinted cheeks, glossy lips, soft winged liner. Hair can be curled loosely or tied with a ribbon.

But remember: coquette doesn't have to mean seduction. You can love the aesthetic without embracing flirtation. It’s about feeling soft, lovely, and beautifully composed for yourself.

3. Romantic Academia

Like a poem scrawled on aged parchment, read by candlelight.

Romantic academia is all about emotional depth, literature, and timeless beauty. It's soft, intellectual, and wistful like walking through an old university garden in the rain, holding a novel close to your chest.

Colors are muted and vintage: dusty rose, faded ivory, mocha brown, olive green. Fabrics should feel rich and natural, tweed, wool, cotton, lace. Look for long skirts, Victorian blouses, cable-knit sweaters, and flowy dresses. Add layers: a blouse under a pinafore, a knit vest over a poet shirt.

Footwear includes Oxford shoes, leather boots, or vintage loafers. A beret or ribbon can crown your look. A worn leather satchel or a floral book tote fits perfectly in your hand.

Jewelry is understated but meaningful: lockets, pressed-flower pendants, vintage rings. Hair can be in soft waves, braided, or pinned with vintage clips.

Romantic academia is about celebrating the beauty of thought, memory, and emotion. You dress like someone who writes love letters, collects dried roses, and loses track of time in libraries.
