Lolita Blog Carnival: Music Inspired Coordinate

Did you know that I was in marching band in my high school days? My instrument of destruction was the clarinet. <3 I'm not going to say I was particularly good, but I did enjoy myself, and I acquired a much deeper love of music. In commemoration of those days spent marching on a football field, I put together a musical coordinate centering around Angelic Pretty's Toy March.
OP: Angelic Pretty Toy March
Wristcuffs: Angelic Pretty Heart Charm Bell Ribbon
Hat: Angelic Pretty Toy March
Tights: Many sellers on ebay
Boots: Innocent World Gretel Short Boots
Clarinet pin: Many sellers, check your local music shop especially around graduation time
Bag: Bodyline bag173 in green

The coordinate is centered around a general lolita marching band type feel. The teddy bears and squirrels gallantly play their instruments on the print of the dress. The boots go with the polished button feel I tend to associate with bands, while music notes run down the legs, a tune slowly shifting while you walk. I added a clarinet pin in particular because of my instrumental background. The music notes tote is a final touch, another beat to sway while you walk.

That's a wrap on my coordinate and an explanation for the piece choices. To see what other lolitas have thought would be great musical lolita coordinates, please see the links below.
