Genesee Country Village and Museum Meet-up!

Hi friends! <3

Just a brief entry this time. Went on a spooky walking tour of the grounds at night-time with a few lolitas. I put on my cloak since it got chilly once the sun went down, and switched out my shoes for sneakers so I wouldn't trip on the uneven ground in the dark. Occasionally, our tour guide would stop at a building so we could view a short performance of different scenes from The Brother's Grimm fairytales. It was interesting and helped get me into the Halloween spirit.

For this meet-up, I went with a spooky sweet coord in lavender x black :-)

Headbow~ Angelic Pretty
Jsk~ Angelic Pretty "Holy Lantern"
Shoes~ Bodyline
Bat necklace~ Bitter Sweet Doll Jewelry
One ring~ Chocomint
Two other rings~ Paradise Rose
Cloak, blouse, purse~ thrifted
Earrings, cross necklace, tights, bracelet~ offbrand

Thoughts:

The shoulder straps were too short to wear as normally intended, so I ended up unbuttoning them in the back and tying them to make a halterneck. I think it worked out pretty well. I was surprised to find the orange spot/stain on my jsk, but thankfully it came out when I dabbed at it with a damp cloth. I love the print a lot more in person. It's fuzzy and very detailed. I am looking forward to wearing it around Halloween time, but am not sure what to coord it with. Based on the print, I would go for something suitable in a dark or gothic type style, but I don't think my wardrobe has much for that. I mainly wear sweet style lol. I'll have to dig around and see what I find.
