First Buys of the Summer!

I worked a crap load more than normal this pay period, so I was able to put a bit of money away in my savings, as well as buy a couple new things for my wardrobe!


Item 1:
Baby the Stars shine bright Cinderella Jewelry JSK in black


I got the deal of the century on this. A girl from London bought this in an attempt to alter it for a larger size. She decided to give up on it, and decided to sell it for dirt cheap.

This is definitely going to be a bit of a project. My tailor will have to fix the alterations and piece it back to normal, but it'll be well worth it.

I'm thinking of doing an entirely black coordinate with this. Meaning black blouse, black socks, black shoes. I'm going to have the most fun with the hair and accessories. I'm going to pin up my honey colored alice wig into an updo, and wear elegant Cinderella inspired jewelry.


Item #2
AATP Melty Mermaid Princess skirt in black:

I found this by chance. A girl posted it to a want to buy post on egl, and the girl who wanted to buy it changed her mind! I rarely look at WTB posts, but since the title was "mermaids" I decided to check and see if I'd get lucky. Which I did.

For this coord, the purple in the print is unlike the basic lavender in lolita. Therefore I'm going to keep the coord predominately black. I may go to Teeja Jamilla on etsy for more narwhal pirate tights. She does black tights with a purple print that would look lovely with this skirt. I have black OTK pirate looking boots that would also go nicely with this skirt. This is going to be more of a piratey coord than mermaid, so I may turn the waist ties into a pirate head scarf! Also, the underlying colors in my pirate boots are silver, so I'll be using silver jewelry as opposed to gold like I do with the navy colorway.


Item #3:
HP Lovecraft necklace


I bought this for my Cthulhu coord. I haven't even started on that yet, but I'm already buying crap for it. it reads:
That is not dead
Which can eternal lie
And with strange eons
Even death may die


I think I'm done buying lolita for the rest of the summer.
