Getting the Dress & Things I Missed Out On

I did the reservation for BTSSB Millefeuille JSK in Bright Green x Ivory! I have wanted this dress for such a long time, holy crap. I can't wait to get it and try it out. I also purchased the Princess Drop head dress in the same colourway. Wooo!
This is a dress with thin sleeves. It is green and it is tiered with ivory lace trim. It also has two corset lace things going down either side of the breast.

Now, let's look at some recent things I slept on and missed out on buying because I'm trying to be better with my money (the pain!).

It is a blue and white old school Angelic Pretty dress. It has a peter pan collar, two corset things going down the front on the breast, it is tiered with white lace trim and it also has an odd trimming of white lace across the chest.
Who are you?!
This amazing unknown old school Angelic Pretty dress which was listed for an amazing price. My thought process was that if it's still there when I get paid, then it was meant to be. But alas! It wasn't meant to be. *I cry* But now I can immortalize it here in this blog post! Do you know what the name of this dress is? Please tell me, I'd like to know!

Next is this Innocent World Old School Margaret Lace Blouse:
An ivory coloured blouse with lots of bows and detachable sleeves.

I love it. ARGGGH :'( same thing happened with this piece as the one above.

Well, I saved my money... and it went towards buying the Millefeuille JSK instead!

Something interesting, is the similarities between the Millefeuille JSK and that unknown AP JSK. They're both tiered and they also both have that corset lacing going down the front. Is there a name for that style of corset lacing? I am also wondering how ivory the Millefeuille JSK is. In the photos, it looks pretty off-white to me.

It's not a good photo but I'm kinda lazy, sorry.
Also here's my coordinate I'm wearing today. I've been wearing lolita A LOT more lately. Which is awesome!
Coordinate rundown:
OP: Bodyline, Dot OP (?)
Bolero: BTSSB, Baby Logo Bolero
Head bow: BTSSB, Cameron Head Bow
Socks: Angelic Pretty, Toy Parade OTKs

ComiCon

There is a small convention that happens in my city. I went there for a few hours, sadly I went later in the day and missed out on seeing the majority of cosplayers. A friend of mine shared some photos he took though, but it's not the same as in real life.

I did a bit of shopping and also met a larping group. That part was very cool. I wish I had the time to do an activity like larping. There isn't enough time in a day or even a week to do all the things I want to do!
Three sticker pages. One has blue and pink whales on it, the other has foxes and the third is a big single sticker has the catbus from Totoro in a glass bottle.
My tiny sticker haul. There were so many cute plushies, but I couldn't decide! The two stickers on the right are from 'the Littlest Gift Boutique'


I didn't take a photo of my coordinate, I wore Bambi Underbust JSK by Innocent World, a short sleeved peter pan collar ivory blouse by IW, my IW lotta necklace. I can't remember what the other things I wore were though .__.;
It is a beige jsk with a border at the bottom. There is a tree and grass framing the top and bottom of the border. There are forest critters such as deer and rabbits and mice in the border.

Renaissance Festival

At the beginning of September, we went to the Renaissance Festival.

My outfit this year was similar to what I wore the previous time. I wish this corset wasn't an underbust corset, I don't know what I was thinking. It was very expensive, so I basically always wear it when I go. I have worn it with classic lolita coordinates before too (with Bouquet High Waist Corset Skirt (L353) from Bodyline in green and Millefeuille bolero from Innocent World in red). I don't know that I have any photos of that coordinate though.

I actually bought a few things this time.

A little dish with tiny plants captured in resin, rose scented potpourri and a noodle bowl w/ chopsticks.

A bowl with chopsticks, a little dish with a fern and flowers on it and a plastic bag filled with pink potpourri.


The next time I go to the festival, I want to focus less on the stores. Instead, I just want to enjoy seeing outfits and performances.

The Current State of the "Spare" Room

I keep referring to it as the "Spare" room. My husband corrects me that it is "My" room. In our previous two apartments,...
