The unicorn lived in a lilac wood and she lived all alone. She was very old, though she did not know it, and she was no longer the careless color of sea foam, but rather the color of snow falling on a moonlit night.
When I saw this prompt pop up on the Lolita Blog Carnival, I knew I had to put together something for it! Initially I thought about a rêveur from The Night Circus, but found my wardrobe kind of lacking. So I fell back on my old favorite, The Last Unicorn.
“And in the whiteness, of the whiteness, flowering in the tattered water… their eyes as dark and jeweled as the deep sea — and the shining of the horns, the seashell shining of the horns!”
A long time ago I made a post about Amalthea, but since Polyvore went down, a lot of that is lost. This time I managed with my own closet! I incorporated a few little details, like pearls and moons, and I think the floaty chiffon layers really add to a mythical unicorn look.
Is there a book coordinate you’ve longed to do? Something inspired by a heroine or a dashing prince maybe?

Since childhood I’ve loved ‘The Last Unicorn’ the film, but I had never read the book. Maybe it’s time to finally change that… I think you did well by keeping the accessories down to a few key pieces, it keeps the coord true to the book. :)

I’d definitely recommend it, it’s a short read with really lovely imagery! Thank you!! I wanted an ethereal, floaty feel, so I didn’t want to load it down with baubles haha!
