frou frou, I love you.

I want to dress like this everyday.


I love Emily Temple Cute's breezy sweet coordinations so much... It's a good thing their stuff doesn't fit me, or I'd be in trouble! ETC feels much more like me lately than full lolita-style. (I keep trying full loli dresses on and then just feeling rather awkward and blah about it... while this more casual style feels more friendly to me.) This type of skirt is so easy to make if you can find a cute fabric, and I have so much cute fabric stocked up! I hope I have time to sit down and sew a few soon! I've been wearing a lot of skirts lately, but it takes a bit more guts on my part to wear such a very cute skirt as "daily wear" and not feel self conscious. I do get up the guts sometimes. (that's the carosel skirt I made a while ago and my cinderella ring from Cheryll.)... and then here's today's outfit (with my Marie Antoinette shirt).

I wonder though how hard it is to do lacy or self-ruffle embellishments on knit tshirts. (the trick being that the base fabric is stretchy...) For instance, I really love this 18th-century-style self-ruffle embellishment on this j-crew top or this corsage one... but of course a corsage could be done as a separate pin (which is better...)

I love these new dotted skirts at BTSSB. They also added some more L sized blouses, this time in black and pink, too! (there's more if you go look at the site)

I've been packing up some of the fragile remaining items in our house. The old book is one of Mitch's relatives'. I really don't know the backstory on it, but I find it's tatteredness and the drawing on it to be utterly charming. The kitsune mask is one I picked up in Kyoto on my last trip. It's just the right size for my dolls, and well, I have a "thing" something-aweful for kitsune.

Oh, I really like those skirt/shirt combos!

I love that first combo *___* Too bad I'm a thick American.

Oooh you got the skirt from that one store *vague* on livejournal! Did they make it in your size and how long did it take to arrive? I saw it the other night and wanted to buy one (and their AP replica dress)


X____X Baby is killing me! I want the mint and yellow skirt, and their new mint blouse.

Aww it's cute and really casual. :3 outside of the skirts, i think it looks a lot like my mother(who is a total fashonista)'s spring wardrobe.

Aw, I want those outfits. T_T

And that kitsune mask...It's pretty neat but kinda scary at the same time.

Not really to do with this post, but everytime I get in a fight with someone over how I loved the film Marie Antoinette, I think of you.

I will never understand why most people don't like it...

Also, Sofia (Coppola) is my favorite champagne in the world, and it comes in pink cellophane!

I want Lolly to get on the stick and sew me pretty much every single outfit on that site for my dollies.

Wouldn't Ashby look ADORABLE in this stuff? And Jenna??

PS that old book is awesome.

I love Emikyu to no end~~~♥! I just finished a JSK in that style, but I haven't had time to post pics. XD That and Meta and been a big influence in my current fashion tastes. Bright and feminine, I love it!

I have been wanting to order some knit shirts simular to the knit ones you have ther from Eshakti (http://www.eshakti.com/). They make custom clothes for amazing prices. $30 for ruffly knit tops? Yes please!
I'm especially eyeing some of thier knit dresses for the summer ahead. ^_^

Also the new L sized items from Baby are very exciting! =D

I love those styles of clothing for casual wear. ^^;;

Though you've probably only seen me mostly in lolita, I RARELY ever wear it out and not at all in public alone. >_<;; So yes, I agree -- ETC stuff is perfect for normal day wear. <3

Too bad it costs an arm and a leg, though.
