2017 Announcement with Q&A

The post that introduced the 2016 got nix'd in between then and this year's so let me just summarize it a bit in case someone wants to use this for reference in a future rendition.
  • Contest will be held from May 25 - June 25 (note that it was extended after the first week).
  • Photos must be posted to Instagram with #2017リズコーデリンピック夏 and @lizlisa_official_japan.
  • Only Liz Lisa items should be used (do not mix with other brands)
  • Coordinate should include at least 1 item from SS17 but it's okay to use older items as well.
  • You can submit as many entries as you'd like.
  • "Likes" are not a factor.
  • You don't need to show your face.

I felt like I put way too much effort into my entries last year (evidenced by my way too thought out post in 2016), so this year I was determined not to try so hard, but of course that didn't work entirely. With the slightly different restrictions compared to the previous year, I had to remake a lot of coordinates that I would have considered perfect if not for the rules. And if you're going to enter a competition, it just makes sense to play by the rules.

I ended up posting 10 different outfits and really kind of changed my attitude in the middle since the entry period was so long. At first I had been determined not to reuse any items, but that really don't make sense considering that each coordinate is (likely - my guess anyway) judged separately and not as a collective group of entries from one person. Sometimes you need to reuse an item to get the best possible coordinate - plus that just shows the versatility of some of the pieces!

Outfits 7-10 were shot by @chibiamby - thank you so much for your help!
And even though everyone seems to be saying it, I honestly feel this way so I don't feel so fake for saying it too - it really has been great to see some of the amazing coordinates other IG users have created! I usually avoid the #lizlisa tag on IG like the plague bc I just roll my eyes and get so irritated with all the unrelated crap that's in there. It's been nice to have the contest tag to have a more concentrated filter for this kind of content!
Also this contest made me realize how fat my legs, arms and face have gotten, so there's that too.

***Winners update! Announced on 14 JUL on lizlisa.com.***

    1. bahaha Asia probz. Just basically in comparison.

      Delete
    2. the average height in a lot of asia is also real tiny tho :o so you'd be really tall in comparison too.

      can't really change anything about my face (actually a circle lol) but (we) muscular asians are cute too!! i think you look great in every outfit, esp #1 <3

      (as an aside, my younger sister is one of those people who is naturally very thin. however, her head is also a big circle and she's the average american height, so she often looks like a literal stick figure with hair LOL hahahaha she's still cute tho :'D)

    3. I'm actually not very tall lol. It might just be the heels. Sadly I'm not very muscular either - just bulbous haha.

    4. i know, but your head will still stick out among a sea of 4'10" to 5' girls :'D

    5. Haha I guess I never really felt very tall in Japan (even in heels) but it could be matter a perspective. No one seemed particularly short lol.
