So close to Sakuracon

So Sakuracon is close at hand. Which is kind of sad and yet so very exciting.

What I am excited and sad for is Angelic Pretty. I don't think I will have enough money to buy anything substantial from their shop since it's only two more paychecks till con. But then last year I didn't find anything I really wanted so that was kind of a loss for me, so who knows what will happen at this one.

If there's another tea party I will probably go again, but this time I won't be expecting much since AX's one was super lame, and it seems par for the course for brand tea parties (that are held within the convention center).

But I cannot wait for the fashion show that will happen.

Last years fashion show at Sakuracon took so long to get started but then burned out quickly their time wasn't even up before they were finished.

Anyway I have to figure out what things I wanna wear for the con aside from my cosplay.

I want to wear this but I don't have an ivory or a brown blouse to wear with it. I mean I have my new blouse from meta that I haven't worn yet. It may be a bit weird wearing white with ivory but it may be my best chances as of right now to have something new to wear at the con.

I mean while all my other stuff is nice. The rest of my pieces are relatively older AP and Baby items that I've had over the years.

Whatever turns out to be the case I'm just going to try to have more fun and try to be less of a wallflower than other times.

Lolita and J-fashion Resolution 2014

Last year I didn't do so well on my resolutions, so here's hoping my list this year is going to be better. This is actually just copied from my tumblr, but with more detailed information.

Shiki collaboration with Angelic Pretty and Metamorphose

-Buy five main pieces not in the color pink (skirts,jumpers,OPs)
      If you're wondering why I make distinction of pink, it actually has to deal with it being my favorite color and a color I heavily gravitate too. So I still tend to buy pink pieces regardless, but hey, I need more variation in my wardrobe, so that's why this will always be in my list.

 

Stained Glass by Moi Meme Moitie

-Buy one Moi-Meme-Moitie main piece
     I've loved Moitie pieces since I started lolita (I actually remember Iron Gate being sold on CD Japan) and with quite a few Moitie pieces being more accomidating towards varying sizes, I thought it might be a good thing to try.

Milk Heart Bag in Gold

-Purchase something in my wishlist
     I've got a huge varied wish list that contains all sorts of items. Most likely from my list I'd probably end up buying shoes or a bag (or both) since as a lady accessories are quite an important thing.

Moonstar x Sousou collaboration Festival Tabi

-Buy a pair of unique shoes
      Actually this one is already done to be honest. I recently this year already acquired these tabi shoes. And you can't deny that they're not unique. You don't see many people wear tabi. I actually had a very interesting conversation with a Japanese lady about them. She was so surprised and happy that someone was wearing traditional shoes. And honestly, the grip on it is amazing. The regular shoes from Sousou don't have a firm grounding grip since the bottoms are more akin to tennis shoes.

Also, I bought these because I've started to dabble into using wa-fabric.

Metamorphose Diamond Print Blouse

-Purchase a white/black/and an unusual colored blouse
     Always needing those staples. I just purchased this Metamorphose blouse and am waiting for it to arrive. Already one third of the way there. Which is pretty great because I seriously need blouses, especially since it gets cold up here.

Haenuli dress

-Purchase one indie designer piece
     There are some great indies shops out there and I want to support them, so I thought that maybe if I just even get one piece from them, it would be a good start

-Purchase 2 parasols/umbrellas
     I live in the rainy part of the US, so I need these, because... It rains a ton. Kinda self explanatory.

-Make at least 3 sets of clothing that could be used for J-fashion or lolita
      Since I started to learn how to sew, I've been getting a quick grasp on it, so I want to sew a few outfits. I've got a lot of varied fabric and everything. Just need to start piecing them together.

Jane Marple Stamp Skirt

-Purchase an otome main piece
     I really like the idea behind otome, especially since this could work for when I don't feel like dressing up fully in lolita clothes.

Alice and the Pirates x Disney Collaboration

-Purchase a main piece in either alice or trump theme
     I really like Alice themes, so I still need to get something to brighten up my wardrobe.

So that's it for the resolutions, and I seem to be ahead of the game this year, which is great. Hopefully I can knock everything off of my list, even though it's longer than last years.

More Sewing Fun

So there's going to be more sewing fun tomorrow. I'm going to finish up my skirt that I made 100% all by myself. Hopefully assembled it won't look like a hot mess like it does in pieces. Seriously, I seem to not be able to cut without help.

Also I have a lot of the fabric left so mom is going to actively help me make a matching vest for it since the fabric is more pop like. When she told me that she'd help I said; "is that so?" And was reminded of Kill la Kill because...Talking clothing, sewing, fighting the power of clothes, friendship with clothes, controlling the world with clothes... You know, Trigger saving anime.

Satsuki wants to know is that so...

Anyway besides sewing my mom is going to be helping with my Ruby Rose cosplay tomorrow. More importantly we're going to be making a petticoat akin to what classical puppets sells. But she's going to be using the serger and she's going to teach me how.

Mako looking at Sensei's needles

Honestly though, the serger looks intimidating, and I thought my mom didn't know how to use it, because all I've ever seen was my aunt borrow it from us to make her scrubs... But she does know how, which is good, because I need all the help I can get taming that beast. Anyway I hope to have progress and completion pictures up, since these are going to be interesting none the less.

I honestly have no idea if I'm going to just post the images up here or also to tumblr. May do both. I should probably though at one point link my tumblr and blog together.

Though honestly I just post simple images on tumblr, here is where I get to talk.

Showbox Kyary Pamyu Pamyu-Going going and Sewing

So in February there's the Kyary Pamyu Pamyu concert in Seattle at the Showbox Market in downtown Seattle. I'll be going with a friend (one of the friends I'm going to see Madoka with). To see the concert.

Now I know that there's a lot of lolitas who dress up for her show but most likely I will not be one of them. I've been to a few live shows and I think that's just a little too restrictive for such a fun thing. Instead I might wear something in my closet or make something.

Also, one of my actual real life (not lolita fashion based) resolution actually came true. I've learned how to sew. As of right now I cannot make anything super amazing but my mom has been teaching me and she got me a little compact sewing machine to work with that I can place on my desk and can sew and stuff.

Hopefully I'll actually make something good enough to show off.

This is getting a bit silly now....

This is nothing against the place I preordered these shoes from, but my god. How long are they going to be postponed.

I reserved these Creamy Mami shoes to come out June, and still the date just got pushed back, again. For the sixth month in a row.

Creamy Mami 30th anniversary shoes

The shoes in question are to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the show. And there were many collaborations this year with many youth brands (lots of lolita brands) at LaForet. But you know I preordered these. Now I do expect delays... But this is just getting ridiculous.

I mean I don't have anything to wear them with at the moment. But I've been investing in my regular wardrobe and generally starting to intergrade a full J-fashion wardrobe, so that's why the shoes were bought.

Basically I'm just frustrated with how long a wait its been. But hopefully when they finally do get released it will all be worth it.

Leggings and bonding with my mom

Oddly enough I've been bonding with my mom more lately. This is actually a little bit weird since my mom is my mom and rather quite a nutter sometimes. But as of late she's been more interested in what I wear and what I'm doing with my spare time.

Anyway my mom was oddly happy when she heard that I was ordering leggings from online. There was a lot of praise for that until I got the package in and my mom went full >:/

Bravest Warrior Tights from WELOVEFINE

Lady Rainicorn Tights from WELOVEFINE

I think they weren't what she was expecting. Though oddly enough she didn't mind the Lady Rainicorn leggings though, she thinks Lady is really cute. But she didn't like the Bravest Warrior tights.

But when we went out on the 29th I kept getting comments about my Bravest Warrior tights. The typical ones were asking if they were Adventure Time tights (this happens a lot when I wear them) but I kept getting told how cute they were (even from older ladies, which was adorable) and one person even wanted to know where I got them.

But the fun part was when my mom just nonchalantly told me that we needed to make a skirt or something for the tights so that they'd match better with my clothes. It was a really surprising moment for me.

Though I'm not one to like the tights from Blackmilk and stuff, I kinda wanna try my own hand at making tights. It seems like a lot of fun.

Musee du Chocolate in Ivory and more Fashion Resolution talk

Well I bought dress #2 in a color way other than pink the other day.

Musee du Chocolate-Angelic Pretty

This was actually a dress I did want after seeing the pictures from Kera magazine. So I was super glad when the English-AP site put up a few more dresses. There were three ivory pieces restocked and one mint one. I decided to go for the ivory because it honestly looked the best out of all the colors. Ivory is such a nice color and I actually now have a chocolate print that actually looks like chocolate. While Melty Chocolate is still cute... I don't think pink chocolate bars appear very much.

Close up detail

I still think though, the little details of the dress make it lovely, the top is really nice. I enjoy it a lot. I think it makes it look slightly more like a uniform or a dress-uniform piece. Though I may be the only one getting the feeling from the top part of the jumper skirt.

It's two dresses down already, and only three more to go. I wonder what the other two colors will be? I'm just really happy that I was able to even get two new dresses to go toward my lolita fashion resolution. It's honestly more than I ever thought I was going to get. I actually thought it was just going to be pink forever with me. Though right now, even with not that many months left before the new year. I feel like I will be able to get my resolutions done and accomplished. And therefore making my wardrobe more varied.

Lovely Glutton and Kamen Rider...Lolita?!

I actually bought quite a bit of lolita things this month... Ok well not a lot just two dresses that are both coming in late August.

The first one is To My Lovely Glutton from R-Series.

R-Series To My Lovely Glutton in Dusty Pink

 Ok, I know it's going to be a little bit funny or perhaps ironic that I bought this as a gift for slimming down a few inches off my waist and bust. I really did like this design as it looks and feels more Otome to me than anything else. So it's probably a dress that can lean to either side depending how I dress along with it. And I know... Another pink dress.

It seems that my resolution to buy five main pieces that aren't pink this year seems to be heading in the wrong direction... But my other dress I preordered might change that.

So I'm subscribed to Metamorphose's mailing list so I get updates and I wasn't even busy reading it until I saw written in katakana the words "Kamen Rider". So I had to jump on it, since the item was being sold on August 10th 6:30pm Japan time. The thing was... It was sold out within minutes. Yup a Kamen Rider Wizard collaboration with Metamorphose.

Kamen Rider Wizard collaboration dress in Wine Red

To be perfectly honest, red wasn't my first choice, it was actually the ivory color but red was the only thing left and I didn't want to be put on a waiting list, so I just preordered it. I was glad too because I got one of the last ones. The series is completely sold out. I haven't watched "Kamen Rider Wizard in Magic Land" which is what the dress is based off of one of Koyomi's outfits, I think. There is a matching cape to this though, but even though I think it's super cute I just couldn't see myself buy it.

Kamen Rider Wizard full collaboration coordination

Though they did another Wizard one earlier, because the outfit Koyomi initially wears is from Metamorphose. Same with the Goth girl Tomoko in Kamen Rider Fourze. Though overall, it seems that out of all the brands, Metamorphose does the most collaborations and more of them do get posted online for everyone to buy.

So hey, one dress down. Four more to go.

Things elude me...Always

Long time no post. I've been kind of busy for a while and took a short hiatus but now I'm back. Life is all straightened up and back in order so things are good.

So over the course of the last three months I have been attempting to buy some otome clothes, to get some of my lolita resolutions checked off, and for the life of me... IT WASN'T GOING TO HAPPEN. Every time I tried to bid on something on YJA it was a battle between me and 4 other Japanese gals. >.< I don't blame anyone since the items I was trying to get all started at a low price, and were pretty coveted otome prints. But still I would have thought by now I would have had one.

But since I didn't buy anything for a long time I thought I would give myself a break from Otome/Lolita fashion buying and get something fun. So I popped over to Galaxxxy and bought a cute shirt and skirt.

Sweetie Belle shirt from Galaxxy

I kinda became a fan of these big mid-drift tees because they're so big and great for layering. And not only that it's an official My Little Pony; Friendship is magic tee (yeah I like ponies). And of all the Cutie Mark Crusaders, Sweetie Belle is my favorite so I just had to get this tee!

Oddly enough Galaxxxy does some very interesting collaborations with shows including; Panty and Stocking, Evangelion, Dirty Pair (old school version), Wooser, and Creamy Mami.

I kind of kept going back and forth about getting this until I saw that they upload pictures of people wearing it, then I was sold.

Model Shot from Galaxxxy

I liked how big and roomy it looks on her and how easy you could coordinate it if you had the right things in your wardrobe and I believe I do have them. So I can't wait to get the shirt.

Also I bought a skirt from Galaxxxy as well.

Positive Stripe skirt from Galaxxxy

It's just a simple elastic skirt, but it just looks so interesting to me, and since I wear a lot of black outside of work. It should look pretty good.

Model Shot from Galaxxxy

It's another item that's easy to coordinate and you could mess with contrasting colors quite a bit as well. I'll probably wear some simple tights with it since I don't want to draw too much attention to my legs, but it is a good start of slowly phasing out most pants from my daily wardrobe.

I almost forgot how much fun J-fashion was outside of Lolita/Otome and I'm really glad I spent the money on these two items. They should be here before Friday and I can't wait.

I really hate delays... My gripe with We Love Fine

How I feel at the moment about delays everywhere

Well Accelerator is still delayed. His release date changed to winter 2013, which means any time in winter, though on the company site, it says that he should be finished and heading out in February. We'll see though.

Also another reason why I currently have been feeling a lot of order hate is because my package from Welovefine.com still hasn't shipped yet. I ordered it on the 30th and they said that they'd be back in office at the 2nd of January. Well also they say it only takes 7 business days for it to process... When I'm writing this journal entry it's already the 20th, the month is almost up. And it seems people are getting their packages in a month after they've ordered it.

When Monday rolls along and my item still hasn't been shipped I'm going to write them an email letting them know how I feel. I was going to buy a lot of things from them (iPod case, shirts, sweaters, and hoodies) but now with the weeks of waiting, I'm not really in the mood to wait for weeks again just for a few items.

I mean it's one thing to order something through a shopping service and it having to take a week or two, but for something straight from the manufacturer themselves? I'm really fed up with it.

Lolita Fashion Resolutions for 2013

Though I have some regular resolutions up I wanted to do a specific one on lolita fashion resolutions that I want to achieve in 2013. Most of these, if not all pretty much just regard my closet and what I want to fill inside of them.

-Buy at least five main pieces that aren't pink
   I have a problem with just sticking with one color. And while it is a color I really love... Getting other clothes with different colors would be nice. Black is the second biggest color in my wardrobe but that's including the Fancy Egg series stuff I preordered from Metamorphose. Don't get me wrong I super LOVE the color pink, but I want a lot more variety in my wardrobe not just one color.

-Buy at least one item either in the Alice or Trump (playing card) theme
   When I got into lolita, Alice in Wonderland and Trump card dresses were all the rage. And I want something in my collection to reflect that. While I do have one bag from Angelic Pretty that has a trump theme I want a main piece though.

Angelic Pretty-Trump Jacket

-Buy at least one black and white blouse
    This also was a problem with having a mainly pink wardrobe. I have only blouses and blazers that are pink, not much of anything else. So I need to get at least one black and one white blouse. I'll probably be looking towards getting them off of taobao instead of buying them from brand as I am still too big for most brand blouses, and they're rather expensive first hand being $200.

-Get at least one piece from an Otome brand
    I really like Jane Marple and Emily Temple Cute. And you can always find at least something shirred like a fully elastic skirt or at least a dress with entire back shirring, so I'd love to get a piece from either of the brands. Doesn't matter to me if it's a first hand or second hand item, just as long as I really like it that's the important part.

Emily Temple Cute-Cake Dress

Maybe I'll add more later, but as of right now, this is all I can think of.

Q-Pot Merry Sweet Party

If there's one brand I love with all my heart, it's Q-Pot. Q-Pot is a Japanese brand of accessories made by Tadaaki Wakamatsu. There will be more about Q-Pot specifically in another post. I have a review of the US shopping site. But for now I'll be talking about the winter items that have just been put up for sale.

Merry Sweet Party Banner taken from Q-Pot online store

Merry Sweet party contains a few subcategories; condensed milk, merry sweet party, ice box cookie and gingerbread man. And here is a picture from the site of the items listed.

Listings for the items as seen on Q-Pot's webstore

The items themselves are really varied and I love the use of wood for the holiday. It seems that Q-Pot is using a lot more wood and other materials in their new pieces and it's a very interesting turn. But I must admit that my favorite items out of this whole seasonal collection are the condensed milk items.

Though I do realize that the items are just remakes of the other items in the melt series, the new color is so lovely. Also I am fond of the icebox pierce and earring.

A note on the pierces and earrings though... They're sold as individuals instead of as a set. The reason being the idea is to mix and match them with other earrings to create your perfect look.

Overall the series is nice, though a few items would look weird to wear outside of the winter season.

Metamorphose-Fancy Egg

With a weird name like Fancy Egg I wasn't so sure what I was going to expect to see from Metamorphose. But to tell the truth it really surprised me. I really like the print.

Fancy Egg-Black

So the premise is kind of simple, just very lovey egg motifs. Which I haven't really seen done (if at all) in lolita. What also makes this print stand out for me is the diamond print design that compliments it. I am really loving the black color though. There are quite a few dresses and skirts and other such things that will be for preorder but I am really liking the shorter dress.

Fancy Egg Tucked Pleat Pinafor Dress-Short Version

It's very simple in design, but the bottom border print does take up most of that bottom skirt, which is why I really love it. This is a sample of the dress which is done in the pink version. But I really love the overall feel and design of the whole thing. It looks like something you could wear in lolita or just as a regular nice dress. What I don't like though about the other colors is the lack of the diamond detail which is lost on the dress.

Fancy Egg-Pink

But you know, it may be good for other people, but just not for me. Which is actually a good thing, because I need to balance out all that pink in my wardrobe at the moment. I was trying to include more mint there, but it seems that the colors tend to just be black and pink for now. ^3^

So the dresses will be on reservation starting on Dec. 7th Japan time, and the short dress is 24,990 yen itself shipping and handling. As for the colors their is; black, pink, green and saxon blue.

Recent Purchases-Grimoire Socks

So I bought a few things for lolita that I've been looking at for a long time, Grimoire socks.

Un papillon bleu profond-Grimoire Socks

The socks are quite adorable, I just love those butterflies and the background. I don't actually have a dress that matches these or anything, but I think I'll either buy some light blue fabric or create a dress that could go with them. Though I do have a white dress I'd still probably would need some blue or butterfly accessories to go along with them.

Une desse de la fascination-Grimiore Socks

I actually just bought these because the design was just so very eye catching. The lady looks very lovely and in all honesty, these socks would look great with a gothic coordination. Now all I will need is more than one gothic styled lolita dress to chose from. Maybe something else from Atelier Pierrot or Echantlic Enchantilly. Though to be honest I'd really like a red dress. Red isn't a color you see a lot in lolita for some reason, or it's always paired with white. I think a red dress with black accents would be lovely.

Once I get the actual socks themselves I'll probably post a review of not only the socks themselves but the shopping service I used.

Krad Lanrete Dress

I've been looking through Taobao lolita stores again and I found a really simple dress I like from a brand called Krad Lanrete.

Le Chuchotis de L'ete dress

As Krad Lanrete does more gothic pieces than anything, it really stands out to me. Right now I currently only have one gothic dress in my collection and I want to increase it by more. But anything I want more simple pieces in my collection, and something not pink, black or white. Though ivory is more of a cousin to white it's close enough away that I wouldn't have to worry.

What also really impressed me about the piece was when I saw it worn by models.

Long and short version of the Le Chuchotis de L'ete

The dress looks simple enough and comes in two lengths as well; short and long. I'm more interested in the short version of the dress as I'm sure if I got the long one it wouldn't look so good on me and would probably hit the floor if I wasn't wearing high enough shoes.

But anyway let's take a look at the one I am interested in.

Short version, Ivory color

Doesn't it look adorable? It's a very simple design with buttons on the front and a piece of fabric that wraps around the waist. It's a really simple dress but with the right accessories and color combinations would turn it into something amazing.

Simple dresses I believe are essential for any lolita wardrobe, and I hope I can add this one to my collection soon.

Nails are cute

As I am gathering and starting to pack up for my flight and Anime Expo, the last couple of details come into mind, and that detail is how am I going to wear my nails the entire weekend.

I don't get acrylic/fake nails done so I have my natural nails or nail tips to decorate. And I've also been looking at some designs that I could do easily.

Adorable Hearts Tutorial

I really think these are cool and show a neat step by step example of how to do it. I may try it some time soon but probably not for AX. My dress I don't think would look good with hearts.

Monarch Wings with China Glaze

Now this is more that I'm talking about, I love the monarch wings. I even more like the idea of not using the conventional orange color... And it gives me another reason to buy another China Glaze nail polish. I'm thinking of doing a light pink color for the wings because it has to match melty chocolate and the spring theme I'll be going for at the Misako tea party. I'll most likely be using nail chips for it, since I'd rather have a longer nail instead of my tiny fingernails for right now. The only small problem with the design is the nail chips I have are rounded and not squared like in the picture. It shouldn't be too bad though, I think it will turn out just as lovely.

Got ticket for second Misako party

I was able to snatch up a ticket for the second Misako tea party that was happening on later on in the day 5:30pm-7:00pm and I'm quite excited.

The only thing left to do is figure out what I'm going to wear. I am probably leaning towards wearing my Melty Chocolate dress since it's really more nice than most of my dresses and I can wear my tea party shoes with them as well. Probably won't be wearing a wig though, since I'm planning to wear my Liz Claiborne hat. I'm trying to go for a more Otome/summer theme, since Misako wears a lot of more toned down dresses and styles outside of magazines.

To be a bit honest and a little bit truthful, I kind of feel bad for my Melty Chocolate dress... I wear it too much. It was the first piece I bought after I sold all of my lolita clothes. But I fell in love with it and paid a pretty penny for it as well.

Angelic Pretty's Melty Chocolate

I know it's stupid to be sentimental about this dress, but I can't help but feel it. There are a lot of memories along with this dress. It does mean a lot to me.

Do you ever feel sentimental about things? I wonder if it's just an age thing, or am I just really being nostalgic.

My secret love affair with Moi Meme Moitie

Ever since I started lolita fashion, I have always loved Moi Meme Moitie. But for the longest time, I couldn't hardly wear any of it, except for the "Iron Gate" and a few full shirred pieces.

But as of recently, Moi Meme Moitie has been putting out more shirred pieces, for what reason I have no idea, but I want to get one. And I want my first piece to be the new stained glass print that's out.

Cathedral Print by Moi Meme Moitie

Though I couldn't find a picture of the long sleeved one, but I really want this one so badly. I know a lot of people don't like it. But I really like how it fades into the colors and I can't help but love it, it's so cheesy. Shame is that it's probably going to cost me about $550 to buy it, but if I save and not spend my money on frivolous things (which is a lot of stuff) and just pay my bills and such, I should be able to get my hands on it pretty soon.

If not, there are lots of other dresses that I love that I can buy. So it's not a big deal, but it's just kind of hard to get something of Moitie's since they tend to sell out a bit quickly.

Anime Expo Clothes Planning

There's usually one thing I kind of plan way before I go to conventions is what kind of clothes I'll be taking with me. Since I have no time to save up money for some nice Japanese lolita clothes I'm going to do something I haven't done before and order them off of Chinese designers off of Taobao. They're significantly cheaper (because cost of labor is lower in their country) but at the same time there are some really cute dresses I like.

Kids Yoyo Sailor Dress

I'm not really one for short sleeves but the dress is so adorable and simple I think it would work well in California's hot climate. The hat you pay extra for but it's super adorable. I will probably make this one of the dresses that I'll get for AX.

White Moon Dress

This one is just simply cute. It's got a really playful vibe and I just love the bottom design, though actually I love the overall design of it. I really think this one would be great to wear, and it's just so cute, specially with that little boater hat.

I may not be able to stay for the whole con (because of work) but three days of fun doesn't sound so bad. And I seriously cannot wait, because there will be even more fun stuff to do and everything. Though I'm still hoping I might be able to stay for all 4 days, but it's probably a long shot. I still have to save up money for my share of the hotel and my plane tickets and spending money but I'm going to get that all gathered together as I start putting new stuff on my etsy account and I'll actually feature it here on my blog as well.

I have some cleaning and more crafting to do, so hopefully I'll be back tomorrow with a fun art update.

Tights and things bought

I bought some stuff for myself with my paycheck. Nothing terribly huge, but some stuff that I've been wanting for quite some time.

I bought for myself was a pair of tights. I got them from Celeste Stein. They're the cute little cherub ones that you see a lot, or rather I've seen them a lot and I really wanted a pair all to myself. And I finally got them. They're taking about 6-10 days to be made and then they'll be coming for me. I seriously cannot wait for them to get here.

Celeste Stein Cherub Tights

 They probably won't look as nice on my legs, since mine are way bigger than her slender legs. But what was also pretty neat is that they had sizing options, S/M and L/XL and you know there's no harm in just buying a size up. My legs calves though are very toned are quite big at the same time, so that coupled in with my rather big body size, I just decided that I would just get the plus sized ones. They'll fit way better on my body anyway than not.

I think these would look really cute with Tokyo Bopper shoes though, for a otome/lolita or even just a cute regular look.

Besides the tights, I did get a rocking head piece off of Etsy from a seller that I'm also waiting for. It's probably going to be the same wait time as it will be for my tights, but I seriously think it will be worth it once I show you the piece.

Pastel Pink Braided Hair Bow Headband from CuteCandyClouds

It's very interesting don't you think? I saw this being sold a while ago and when I wanted to purchase it, well it was sold out because someone bought it. I couldn't blame them though, this color is so cute. I just had to have one for myself.

I really like the fact that it's a hairband though, I personally love wearing hairbands so the fact that I can just plop this on my head with my regular hair or with a wig, well that makes me really happy. I just can't wait for this to arrive. I have a pink wig I need to fix and I think this would look great with it. Other than that, I'll probably be wearing this cute little piece as much as I can when I'm off of work.
