Mini update

I've got two items ordered from Taobao thanks to a very helpful person on an EGL forum~.

Hoping to get a brand new super good petticoat soon, as well as a lovely blouse.

First great co-ord!

I knooow I'm a bit late with posting this, but last Friday I went out to my mom's home to visit (I rarely do because I live many miles away, kinda a pity), and I wore Lolita outside for the first time! Well, not counting a convention, but everyone's dressed a little bit differently out there.

Sadly, the whole effect kinda died when it was a sort of mardi gras out in my old city...

However! I did love the co-ord I wore!

The last picture was more done as a sort of before-and-after for make-up and hairstyling... though the make-up is pretty natural (I hate going over the top with make-up... even now I felt like I wore way too much concealer).

Loved going out in this though. My mom went all emotional on text message when I left, saying I was growing into such a beautiful girl~.

For the rest, I bought Pokémon Black & White (can't run behind! I've got a Pokémon collection I'm working on!), the blouse that's in my co-ord, a book (Terry Pratchett's Soul Music), manga (Venus versus Virus) and today I bought two new games (Pokémon FireRed for the collection and Lufia! Which is a pretty awesome game!).

I'm saving up for my dream dress now - I want to buy it as soon as I've got new glasses. So expect a new co-ord pretty soon!

Lots of love,
Minty.

Chocolate fantasy

So, I just saw the Baby, the Stars Shine Bright spring fashion show on Youtube, and I have to say... I'm in love.

Perhaps it's because my biggest love in colour for Lolita is mint, followed by brown, but I'm so going to follow this little thing that I know is going to be a trend!

What am I talking about? Why, brown (chocolate) blouses under JSKs of course!

Not only does this mean I get to spice up my planned mint buys towards chocolate mint, but it also means I don't have to always look for a white underlay (because I just don't like black with mint, y'know? Unless someone has a very very veeeery nice example of it so I can see, but I'd never go for it on my own...).

It also means I'd be able to look for brown shoes to go under my co-ords! Since I usually prefer white tights, though I might look for some brown ones and get white shoes as well. I'm not sure; brown tights seem a little silly to me compared to white... it's worth a shot though!

Here's the show if you haven't seen it yet;
