Hello everybody!
Today I would like to share with you a cute haul~
I got some money for Christmas and decided to order from Bodyline since I am trying to add to my lolita dress collection; as well as my fairy kei style for when I feel like dressing in a more casual but still cute style ^#^
Firstly, this is how my packages arrived~
Please excuse the over editing! The top photo took a lot of big stickers because it was the size of an average envelope! My address was written in biiiig letters...I just wanted to show off the cute Sanrio sticker xD~
This is what I got from the top package~
Ta daa! A cute little bow~ This bow is from ebay~ The seller handmakes these, or so I believe! I'm not sure if you can still buy the exact one because after I got mine there was only one left, but if you are interested in buying similar bows then please click here :) I spotted a cute Hello Kitty one I almost bought! I really like the little note that came with the bow, it really made me feel like they appreciate their customers!
Also, I forgot to take a picture of the back of the bow in my excitement, but it is basically attached to a large crocodile clip. It sits nicely on my head and I can put it anywhere I want! I tried it on a couple of my skirts and it still looked really cute! I really recommend this seller if you're looking for cheap but quality bows; I spend a few minutes just looking at the attention to detail with the sewing and lace!
Now for the two Bodyline packages!~
This is what was inside!~
I got a cutsew, the Squirrel Party OP, a purple maid dress and a pannier!
Here is what everything looks like on!
(Tights are from SpreePicky, I am wearing the pannier in all pictures, plus an extra one from etsy in the dress images just to give them some classic poof!)
I must apologise if the clothes look wrinkled, I put them on as soon as I was able to collect them and as you can imagine, sitting in wrapping for two weeks can be a big draining for your poor clothes!
The pannier is nice, but for some reason I thought that it would be a lot more opaque than it is. If you look at the picture above you can see my cutsew through it! It's also slightly smaller than I thought it would be. To be honest though, it's still super cute and I will definitely be wearing it underneath my dresses and skirts rather than as a skirt in itself which I had planned.
The cutsew is very very cute! It has little pearls on the collar, and the ruffles on the sleeves are adooorable <3 I think I got it a size too big though! That said, that was my judgement and I am glad that I got it too big and not too small! I will still wear it in every day co-ords! (Though as with any white shirt, be warned, it is slightly see through.)
The maid dress is so lovely! I really, really like the colour of this dress, and the heart apron is just <3 The dress by itself is still a rather nice dress, it is plain except for the cute little ruffles on the sleeves so you could pin a bow or tie a belt around the middle and it will be lovely~ The apron was a little tricky to put on (because the straps go over and you have to fasten some buttons) but that was because I am a bit clumsy, so I was walking round in circles trying to find the button hole x'D
And finally, the Squirrel Party OP. My goodness.
This dress...I LOVE THIS DRESS.
The print is so vibrant and colourful and cute and...^##^ When I was a little girl I used to beg my parents for a pet squirrel, and now I have the next best thing x'D It is my birthday in a couple of weeks so I plan to wear it then~
I also have a meeting with my tutor group on my birthday so I wonder what everyone will say!
Thank you for your time as always =^#^=
Have a lovely day~ x
