Item Feature #2



The item I am featuring in this post is Angelic Pretty's Cutie Heart Blouse. It's super cute! The heart cutout on the chest is very cute and especially so with what looks like a dot tulle fabric overlay. The detachable sleeves are a great feature. I really love the overall cut of the blouse. Something about the shape of the sleeves and chest area, perhaps. Plus, there are embellishing bows in all the right places. I couldn't choose between the white or pink colourway, so I'm sharing both images. This blouse is from 2008, is the second release of this design.

How my Buying Habits are Changing with Age of my Wardrobe

Here is an observation I had recently: I've bought all my highly desired dresses. You can look on my wishlist and see there are still dresses on there, but I'm not actively seeking any of them at this time. [Some of those dresses I already own the print of, but not the colourway I wanted] I have actually seen Doll's Tea Party come up for sale a few times, but didn't buy it. Besides not being a high priority item, the material is a problem. Chiffon runs the risk of ... runs. Similarly, Charlotte's Bear is polyester and I really don't like the feeling of cheap polyester. I don't know if that is the case with that print, but I don't want to spend hundreds of dollars finding out.

Currently, I am building up my collection of tops. Blouses and cutsews mostly. What happened to wanting a minimal wardrobe? I'd still love one, but I don't think it's a realistic goal especially considering I am invested into two substyles (sweet and classic). (Three if you count old school.) I can use blouses to maximize my current wardrobe. 

Mail is absolutely slow. Who knows when my recent orders from Japan will arrive? They've been sitting at a status of "processed" in Tokyo for over two weeks. I was thinking about making a video showing what is supposed to be coming in the mail instead of an actual haul (as a sort of joke).  

Once I am finished acquiring all the tops that I feel I need, I wonder what I will move onto next. Accessories maybe? 


A side note of something a bit concerning, the arms seem a bit tight on some of my clothes. I have been working out but my arms don't seem any bigger to me. Even the chest on my Marshmallow Bunny jumperskirt felt a bit tight. Scary things. 

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,...
