User blog comment:Chrismh/Coord Competition Round I Lost Count: Christmas Concert!/@comment-26250070-20171220050906/@comment-3237624-20171220160623

Inspiration: So you picked good ideas.... but to be blunt, I don't see it. Like I think you should have just stuck with 1 idea, or found a better way to make both work. Usually gingerbread men are brown, and I see hints of that on the coord, but I would expect to see a lot more brown, white, colorful bits on this coord for that sort of idea. The shoes are a nice choice though, and the skirt could be a little gingerbread man like.

Design: Ah... well the gold accents look nice together. I can't say I like the coord design at all though, sorry, but I don't see any sort of balance. I could see the top and accessory working togeher, and I could see the bottom and shoes together- but as a singular coord it doesn't mesh well. If the colors were different I could see it working a lot better; but there's too much contrast and it just looks really messy.

Accessory: It matches the top, and it could go with your "red theme" you described- but I don't see it working with this coord or Christmas in general.

Once again I'm going to have to reward a low score. But I can at least give this a 5. You didn't break any rules and the coord isn't terrible, but you tried too much and it wasn't successful. I'd suggest sticking to just 1 of your theme ideas and improving the other half.
