Offbrand | Delightful Charm

I LOVE the 4th of july!! I like the music, the fireworks, the patriotic clothing, everything!! Usually on the fourth, my family watched the Washington DC 4th of July show together on TV. But this year, we are actually going to Washington DC on the 4th to see the performance live!!! I’ve wanted to do this for quite some time and I can’t properly express my excitement! (even if it is only June 7th :D) In honor of my excited-ness, I made a red, white and blue coord using Angelic Pretty’s French Cafe JSK mixed with offbrand.

Until Next Time!

Since I have the camera back, I thought it would be nice to take better pictures of me wearing the soft cream JSK and the wonderland border skirt. (for some reason, my face came out a bit scary…sorry about that guys!)

Soft Cream JSK:

And the wonderland skirt:

And just for fun I used my black shatter nail polish!

That’s all for now!! Until next time!

Offbrand For Easter!

As everyone knows, Easter Sunday is coming up, this meant it was time to go off on the adventure known as finding an Easter dress. I wanted to find a dress that I could add to my lolita wardrobe but, I knew that may not be too easy. Until I went to Boscov’s. As I searched through the racks in the lady’s dresses, I came across a lovely, light pink color. When I picked up the dress, I found it was what I was looking for. The neckline wasn’t low and it was a pretty color, but what about the skirt? I hoped and hoped as I lifted the sides of the skirt and to my surprise, the skirt was big enough to fit a petticoat!

I’m so glad I found this dress!! I hope to be able to find more dresses like this one!

Petticoat?…and trying on more stuff.

I’ve needed to get a petticoat for a while now, I was gonna buy one eventually. However today, I looked through a bin of old dance costumes from years ago and realized my ballet skirts are puffy! So I rummaged through the bin and found one of the skirts. I was soo excited! It is even cupcake shaped! Now I have a “petticoat” the will hopefully maintain the shape (it has for 6 years already…)
This is what the “petticoat” looks like:

The inside:

Lucky for me, the skirt is just the right length, too!

And Just for fun, here are some pictures I took while trying on my wonderland coord with my wig (I do need a new wig though and I hope to be buying on from cosplaywigsusa)

The outfit:

Skirt: Bodyline

Blouse: Rave

Cardigan: Target

Socks: Burlington Coat Factory?(I can’t remember, we’ve had them for years)

Until Next Post!

Fun Buys!…and Zelda!

Hi again!! I have been lazy about updating this thing! So today I decided to take some pictures of a few things I have bought!

1) Comic Strip Converse!!!! (just for fun)
I love these things!(even if they make me feel nerdy…) They are really fun to look at and fairly colorful!

2)Strawberry Apron!

I found this at Marshalls. It was only $10 too.

Close-up of the apron’s print:

3) Black Sleeveless Frilly Top!

Also found at Marshalls. I found this when I was looking through various clothing racks. The neckline has cute ruffles, as do the arm holes, and the top area is a pretty lacy material. I felt pretty lucky! (forgive the extra lack in quality with this shirt, for some reason my web cam especially dislikes black shirts…)

And on a side note….

I decided to play one of my all time favorite games again! Ocarina of Time!!!! It never gets old!!

Anyway, I hope to be a bit more committed to updating sometime in the future!

Until then!

Getting A Bit Warmer…I Hope…

So this morning, I just realized that I could modify images on polyvor (I felt so stupid…). I wanted to do more classic coord, but the images weren’t working with polyvor. Now that I know what I’m doing, I can finally create the coords I originally wanted to make! This one was made for the warmer weather spring begins to bring!

I look forward to having more fun mixing brand with offbrand in the future!

Another Lolita Find!!

I was out again today shopping, my mother and I were in Kmart. I was aimlessly waltzing through the shoe area when suddenly, I found these shoes. I couldn’t believe it! Red, Mary-Jane styled shoes for $15 And when I thought they couldn’t be better, I noticed that the buckle was even in a heart shape!!!
