I'm a high school graduate!

...or "upper secondary school" like our teachers called it.

I was going to make this post last week since the graduation party was already on the 1st of June but I decided to wait and see if I would get a letter from one of the schools I've applied to. They chose the first students on the 7th of June and I haven't got a letter yet so I guess I'll have to wait until they choose the next ones on the 20th of June and write about my future plans after that.

I didn't get to take many photos at my graduation party because I had to spend time with the guests and my parents aren't good at using my camera so these are the best photos of my outfit I could find.
Originally I wanted to wear a green dress in order to look like a fairy but I ended up picking a yellow one for it looks more summery and fresh. I had trouble finding matching yellow shoes so I decided to buy those black and white wedges. I think they match quite well with the student cap.

Since I am now officially on a holiday I will start posting and writing reviews more frequently again.
I have changed all of the review pages' layouts so they should work better now.

Orders from Adambeauty and Yesstyle

I ordered this Lavshuca mascara from Adambeauty on the 13th of April and I expected to get an email from them confirming the order or letting me know when the item has been shipped but I heard nothing from them. Suddenly on the 25th of April I got mail from the post office saying that my packet has arrived.

Since I have only recently started to familiarize myself with make up here is a review on the mascara written by someone who knows more about beauty products than I do.
I might add some pictures of my own later.



I ordered from Yesstyle on the 18th of April. The estimated shipping time was May 2, but I already got an email on the 26th of April saying that the items have been shipped and so the package arrived at my door on the 29th of April.
The box had a bad smell on it which made cough.

I wouldn't have ordered from Yesstyle if it wasn't for this JK2 dress that I wanted for my graduation party.

The skirt is not as puffy worn as in the stock photos but I think I can fix that with a little bit of starch.
The dress came with shoulder straps but unfortunately the other one cannot be attached to the dress because it's missing one of the loop thingies.


I don't really have hats to wear in the winter and this was rather cheap so I decided to get it. The hat is from a brand called WIWI but it's no longer available.

 I'm not surprised that the pockets are too high for me.


Last but certainly not least I got these super cute HVBAO shoes.

I got a free pair of extra shoelaces with the order.
 
There was something inside the other shoe.
The shoes too had a bad smell on them so they are going to have to wait a couple days or weeks on the balcony before I can start wearing them.
I was afraid that the shoes would be too big because the black sneakers I've written about in the two previous posts are slightly loose but the sole of the HVBAO shoes is actually one centimeter shorter.
They are about the same size as the H&M shoes in the previous post.
All of the shoes are supposed to be European size 41.

Something to expect w/ Outfit Post #14

I've ordered a few items from AdamBeauty and Yesstyle so I will be making a longer post about them. Most of the text has already been written but the other packet is still waiting for me to get it in the post office and I'll need to take more pictures and edit them + the one's I've already got. I should be able to get it all done by the next Tuesday which seems to be the official posting day now. :)

In the meantime, you can take a look at this experimental sweet lolita outfit I tried to create around a purple shirt I found in the back of my closet.
Pink cutsew: DoL
Purple skirt: Bodyline
Pink skirt: F+F
I would've picked lavender coloured shoes but I don't have any.

+It was time for my old sneakers to hand over the musical note laces to my new shoes.

++I got yet another piece of clothing from H&M.

It's been over a month again //Outfit Post #13

Past few days have been really cloudy. I got to sunbathe on our balcony a couple weeks ago but now it's just too dark. I hope the clouds are going to go away soon and I'll get to tan myself a little for the graduation party. I have to say I miss school. Without normal daily routines I haven't been able to get much done. I planned to write reviews but since the entrance exams to universities are just around the corner (they start next month) I've mostly been panicking and playing mobile games.
To be honest shopping is the most useful thing I've done.

For some reason my computer doesn't want to recognize my phone when I connect it with the USB cable. I tried to reconnect it a dozen times but it didn't work so I had to email the picture of my shopping outfit to myself...
Necklace: Bodyline
Skirt: Bodyline
Over the knee socks: Bodyline
Shoes: Bodyline
The purple bow on my head came with the skirt and the pink one I've sewn myself.
I'm not happy with the necklace I wore but I didn't have time to look for another one.
Everything else is naturally off brand.

I only found a pair of jeans and new sneakers to replace my old broken ones.
I'm not usually fond of animal prints but I've noticed that jeans with prints make my legs look slimmer and the cut of these H&M jeans was just right so I decided to get them. The cheap replicas lovely shoes are from a regular supermarket.

Outfit Post #11

I haven't worn lolita for almost 4 months because I've tried to concentrate on studying
so I decided to brighten up my day by dressing up.
Headbow, necklace & skirt: Bodyline
Everything else: off brand

 My hair has grown a lot since the previous outfit post. It's nearly the length I want it to be. :)

And now I have to head back to my study corner. I might make a room post some day so you could see where I spend most of my time.

Some changes & new reviews

Remember when I said I won't make any reviews until the first exams are over? Me neither.
The first exam is on Friday and I've spent the entire morning taking photos and writing reviews.
I will publish a new review every now and then.

I've been planning to change my reviews page to be more like a wardrobe page.
I have already made a Bodyline skirts page and I will continue to create more pages like that as soon as I get enough clothes to do so.
