The Lolita Collective Order #1 Opening!

 Hi friends! <3

Around Halloween time there was an online virtual J-fashion event. There were all kinds of panels and vendors. One vendor, The Lolita Collective, was running a free shipping special that weekend. I had been to their booth at Ruffle Con and decided to order some items.

Thoughts:

I'm very pleased with everything I got. Both pins are gorgeous. I think those are definitely my favorites from the order! The strawberry on the necklace is so vibrant and realistic looking. I just love strawberries <3 The bats on the earrings are a bit thinner that I expected, but will feel super light when I wear them. The crosses on the bracelet do have some scratches on them, but they were on sale for $1, so I don't really mind. I'll probably wear it casually or with regular clothes. The bone clips are simple and cute. They remind me of a dark blue pair I got from Sweet Poison Cupcake. I'll have to check them out side by side lol.

Also wanted to mention that my order arrived in 3 parts. I'm not sure what the reason behind that was? I thought everything was in stock when I ordered. It's not like I order a lot or large items either. Wouldn't that cost more for them to ship that way? I mean shipping was free for me, and I wasn't in a hurry to get things what with shipping delays and all that from the pandemic still going on. But, it doesn't make sense for them to do that.
