 Hi friends! <3

I heard Bodyline was having another sale, so I headed over to the website to have a look. I ended up with a few things, including two items off my wish list.

Thoughts:

I was so excited about this order. The Chinese dress is something I had been wanting since I first got to wear one in a fashion show. This one is nearly identical and was a good price. The fabric is thick and sturdy with embroidered dragons. There was a bit of a mix-up with the sizing but it worked out in my favor. I had ordered the 3L, since I was between the 2L and 3L; figuring it would be better to have it slightly too big than too small. The packaging says 3L and the dress tag says 2L. I checked the measurements and it matches with the 2L. So, I think the bag was mislabeled. Luckily it fits me well with the exception of a gap that shows when I raise my arm. I will see about adding a snap or just use a safety pin in the meantime. 

I am mildly disappointed in the bloomers. The fit is decent, but the leg openings are somewhat tight on my legs. I thought it had elastic or was adjustable with the ribbon. It is neither. I will be selling them sometime soon. 

I am super happy about the shoes. I have the off-white ones in size 26cm and found out they run a bit narrow/small. When I saw the black ones available in the next size up, I knew I had to order right away. The fit is definitely better for me. Hopefully they restock the off-white ones in 27cm so I can get them next time.

April Sip Down Progress!

 Hi friends! <3

Sipping on down...

In April I drank a lot of coffee, so not much got sipped down. Finished Davidstea grand cru matcha, had a couple Twinings earl grey, and continued with Davidstea blueberry matcha. Started Tazo london fog latte (comes in a box as a concentrate which you add milk to). Really liked the london fog one 😋👍

No tea ware was obtained this month.

 Hi friends! <3

I saw these cute wrist cuffs with tea cups online a few times and added them to my wishlist. When I found them for sale at a decent price, I couldn't say no.

This is my second item by Lady Sloth, and I love these! The tea cup lace is super cute. It is very nice quality with lovely details. The colorway is labeled as ivory, but it's actually more white in person. I'm looking forward to wearing them sometime soon.

Swap Meet-up & Goodies Mini Haul!

 Hi friends! <3

Went to a swap meet/potluck with a semi-local comm. They had reserved a large room in a community space with multiple tables and chairs. As soon as I arrived, I joined the others in setting up a table with my items. Since I had brought a big box, it took me awhile. Hopefully I would sell something... 

I ran out of table space, so had to improvise with some chairs...

After setting up, I went shopping at the other tables. Then I walked over to a table in the back to check out the food and drinks. Due to the rules of the venue, we could only bring in prepackaged/sealed items. Which ended up being mainly snack-type/finger foods. Fine with me. I could always stop somewhere afterwards on the way home. I had earl grey tea...

And a plate filled with mini scones, eclairs, cream puffs, popcorn, crackers, meats, cheeses, and chocolate covered coffee beans. Yum :-) 

It was great to see everyone again. I don't think I sold anything, but I found some goodies to bring back home...

March Sip Down Progress!

 Hi friends! <3

Continuing with the sip downs...

In March, I mainly drank premade stuff. It's easy to grab on the way out the door to work. I had a couple misc tea bags as well. Continued with Davidstea grand cru and blueberry matchas. Favorites were Arizona green and Bigelow peppermint...
