Wardrobe Goals: 2021!

 Hi friends! <3

It's time for wardrobe goals once again. After reviewing mine from last year, I've decided to not set any further ones. I'm fairly happy with where my wardrobe is at.

Curious about past wardrobe goals?

2020 & 2021

2019 & 2020

2018 & 2019

2017 & 2018

2016 & 2017

2015 & 2016

Wardrobe Goals: 2021!

1.) Clear out remaining sales items. This may have to be done in small lots or bundles as most of it is offbrand items.

Slow going, but making some progress here.

2.) Style sweet-classic pieces in a more classic way.

I did a coord in the summer, but hope to try more in the future. 

3.) Continue looking for wishlist items. Especially...

a.) Long black bloomers (to wear with gothic style)

I got a pair, but the fit is not quite right. Still looking.

b.) White x sax otks (surprisingly I don't think I have any)

Done! I got a pair from the Lolita Collective website. Haven't worn them out yet though.

c.) Pink jsk with a deer in the print

Done! I got Meta's Lovely Forest. 

Honey Cake Headbow Opening!

Hi friends! <3

Just a quick opening to share with you. I finally got ahold of a mint Honey Cake headbow.

Thoughts:

I like the headbow but would still prefer the original version. This one is made out of polyester instead of cotton. The green is slightly more blue-ish when compared to the jsk. You can't really tell from a distance though. I also noticed that the bow itself is more flat and upright when wearing rather than slightly oversized and at a more relaxed angle. I'm going to keep this one for now and continue looking for the other one.

Winter Festival Coord!

 Hi friends! <3

It seems like forever since I last frilled up! The weather is so cold and chilly now, but I wasn't going to let that stop me today. I went to a winter festival with a neighbor friend to check out some local craft vendors.

I picked up this ceramic angel ornament, and a glittery resin skull keychain...

Wore a semi-casual sweet style in lavender x ivory x gold.

Headbow, jsk~ replica of Angelic Pretty's "Sugar Dream Dome"

Bloomers Opening!

 Hi friends! <3

I had been looking for some black bloomers that were long length. I got this pair recently.

*None found. They are by Anna House.

Lace/trim details...

While I was looking them over, I noticed a couple issues. There was a small section where the stitching had come undone...

And the waistband elastic looked to be twisted...

Try-on pics...

Thoughts:

I really like these bloomers. They are soft cotton and the length is good for under longer dresses. The small issues I noticed earlier can be fixed. However, the fit is very loose on me. I can try to tighten up the elastic on the waistband, but I think they would best be suited to someone with a bigger build. I will hold onto these and keep looking for another pair in the meantime.

Bishop Ring Opening (Round Two)!

 Hi friends! <3

I saw a special version of the bishop ring up for sale and it immediately caught my eye. I just had to have it.

Thoughts:

I love this ring! The gold is so pretty, and the sparkles make it even more extra. I think it would go well with the black version of Divine Cross, or maybe a stained glass print dress.

November Sip Down Progress!

 Hi friends! <3

Sipping down again...

*Sorry not much for pics here. I've been drinking tea at work almost every day while I'm at my desk. I prefer to keep my phone tucked away so I'm not distracted.*

In November, I had some pre-made teas, finished up Republic of Tea cinnamon plum, a couple samples, and continued with Harney & Son's pumpkin spice. The Arizona green tea is my favorite :-)

I made a small order with David's Tea. Cashed in a reward that was expiring for the Cinnamon oolong. The Bahama mama one was on sale. Both are new to me...

I did a holiday swap with someone in a tea group and got a nice variety of teas in return...

Along with this tea ware...

October Sip Down Progress!

Hi friends! <3

Continuing with the sip downs...

In October, I finished up TeaSource hazelnut orange. Had a couple  samples from the tea mail/swap group. Started on Harney & Sons pumpkin spice. Continued with David's Tea grand cru matcha and some larger samples. Also treated myself to bubble tea at the local comic book shop. The hazelnut orange tea was my favorite.

I picked up these teas (Masala chai and Earl grey) from a new vendor at the local farmer's market...

And I ordered this pumpkin spice one from Harney & Sons that came with a couple free samples... 

No tea ware was obtained this month.
