/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

My body says yes but my wallet says no

My 4o'clock dress is almost finished so it looks like I'll be able to wear it for Christmas. Sadly I didn't get any progress pictures so it's going to be a complete surprise

>>7945485
Fuck you, bitch. Eat shit.


JK I LOVE YOU congrats on your dresses gurl

>>7945485
I'm spilling jelly all over the place. Congrats anon.

>>7945485
Hrng. Ivory Honey Cake is basically the only sweet dress I want. It's so perfectly ridiculous. Fantastic haul!

Ista Mori is from the second round of orders, so 2-3 months wait? JetJ was supposed to be shipped already, but looks like it will be just in time for Christmas instead.

>>7945485
Are you the one who won the honey cake auction? Really jealous of your haul anon

First Innocent World order, left UK customs 16 hours ago but depot is only 50 miles from me so I have no idea where it is.

I bought more than I initially wanted, but these were a couple of dream items + basics I really needed and the exchange rate is so good right now, so that I couldn't resist. These are definitely my last purchases this year and until spring (unless JetJ is coming out with the dragon dress, I have some savings set aside in particular for this dress. Well, if the rerelease ever happens).

>>7945485
Forget Honey Cake, post pics of your 4 O'Clock dress when you get it please. How much did you spend if you don't mind me asking? How long did it take? Is it one of those lace dresses she's posting on her wall?

>>7945495
>>7945526
>>7945569
Thank you! I don't know which auction you're referring to but it was on mbok

>>7945535
God that JetJ dress is beautiful.

>>7945625
The VM dress is lovely. I'd love to see photos of your antique violet dress when you get it

>>7945641
I'll definitely post pictures when I receive it! I asked her to commission the cross pvc skirt into a jumperskirt. It cost me 350 euros (excluding shipping and pp fees) and took around 2 weeks... can't really say for sure as she hasn't finished it yet.

So excited.

I've got this on the way! Super freakin excited!

>>7945833
Anon where'd you get that Jojo shirt?? Must get for bf-kun

>>7945862
Not that anon, but here
http://h5.m.taobao.com/awp/core/detail.htm?spm=0.0.0.0&id=18851182170
comes in 3 colours and the shop also sells one with Dio

>>7945485
Give one of the ETC biscuit OPs to me.

I'm also expecting a ruffler foot for my sewing machine and a few games.

I'm thinking of getting another dress I've been eyeing for a long while, but the price makes me want to cry.

>>7946028
Fuck, dropped the pic like a dumbass.

I probably shouldn't have bought the stuff from ASOS but they had 30% off everything, welp.

I tried to order two parasols too but TaobaoRing said they were too long to ship? w/e

>>7946261
Source on the berets anon?

>>7946268
not the anon youre asking but theyre from to alice on taobao

>>7946268
Here you go!

>>7945625
Holy shit, that purse and beret.

>>7945535
Ista Mori is the only dress in the world that I want right now. I'm so envious.

>>7946289
>>7946287
Thank you!

>>7946261
Taobaospree ships parasols, but of course the EMS fee is high.

>>7945851
Yohhh sauce?

Pretty much all I'm waiting on are Sailor Moon stuff right now.

>>7946753
Oh yeah and forgot these. Just bought them a few days ago.

>>7946759
Who makes those/where did you order them?

Finger slipped.

>>7946852
Going to need sauce on the middle and right one, anon. It's really cute. You have good taste in wigs.

>>7946855
thanks!

I fucked uuup

>>7946261
Have the berets already arrived at TBR? If yes, how long did it take them to arrive?
I ordered them and TBR told me that they'd take 3 days, but it's been two weeks now and everything else already arrived...

I can't wait!

Going to try and find cute thigh highs I like as well

>>7946961
Link to the top left hat anon?

>>7946377
The title here is engrish as fuck which worried me a little but I took the risk.

>>7947061
It says the store right on there, anon.

>>7947109
Oh I'm a complete retard, thanks

>>7946823
Cute haul! Can I get a sauce on that milk shirt?

Should be hear in an hour or so. I have a Taobao order in the works but I feel like I'd jinx myself posting pics before my SS buys any of it.

>>7945485
where did you get the first dress? ive never seen that cut of paris biscuit before

>>7946961
Sauce on blouse and red skirt?
Cute haul, anon!

>>7947278
Not that anon, but they just released several new cuts and a few are still in stock,too.

>>7947211
That purse looks like 7 vaginas with thick labias in a row with some fur on top.

>>7947315
Thanks for the laugh, anon. But it doesn't look as vag-y irl, I assure you.

>>7947315
Now I can't unseen. Thanks anon.

>>7947364
Adorable stuff! That cat sweater (middle top) is soooo cute.

Spent 10% of my paycheck in 4 hours. Help.

Having all of it delivered to my workplace because my apartment block is shit for getting packages. The reception staff have hated me ever since Halloween when I ordered in a life size posable skeleton.

>>7947358

So you're the one who bought the giraffe sweater out from under my nose.

I knew it was a seagull, goddamn.

>>7946823
link to that maid outfit pls?

And a pair of black wrist cuffs that Im too lazy to find the picture of. The beret and wristcuffs I have already so I'm waiting on the other things.Takiday months

>>7946790
They're made by Banpresto. They were UFO prizes. Got them off Amazon but you can get them from Ebay too. Search for Sailor Moon Girls Figure.

There are a lot of Chinese knock-offs of these though. So if you see them being listed for too cheap (like a set of 4 for $17), then it's probably the knock-off versions.

>>7946961
Love that red skirt! Sauce on it?

>>7947392
sauce on those bone heel boots?

I ordered this stuff during the aliexpress 11/11 sale, it's just some basic stuff I've been putting off buying really. The wig actually got here today, the shoes haven't shipped but the rest is on it's way. I hate how long stuff takes to get here but I kind of love finding goodies randomly in the mailbox.

>>7947425
there's like 3+ shops with it under the Mori section in the taobao spreadsheet for less (I noticed this after I placed my order)

>>7947375
Thank you so much~ I saw the pattern on the cat (It kind of looks like pusheen honestly) and I thought that was so cool

>>7947315
wtf it actually does

finally on its way~
cape and pants set

I'm waiting for some chocomint necklaces and a white headbow!

My recent taobao order. Everything looks so damn good in person, I'm genuinely surprised.

>>7948819
Sauce on dat rabbit bag, please? It's fantastic!

>>7947358
link to top left sweater please?

>>7948819
Could you do a quick review of the bonnet, anon? I found some but they seem to be mixed. Is the lacing on the back blue and can you remove/change it?

>>7948951
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=40989827536

I'm very excited!

>>7948946
Here you go :) http://tw.taobao.com/item/38635048997.htm?fromSite=main
And, the rabbit bag is much sturdier and better quality than most of them Loris bags.

>>7948963
The bonnet is pretty but it's not sturdy. It's made of...it seems like flexible cardboard underneath so the shape, while it stays, gets wonky if you don't adjust it into shape. The lacing on the back is blue and you can't change it- it's stuck in there. However, it's not that noticeable unless someone is going to staring at the back of your head for a long while.

So in total, it's good for the price and looks like the picture, it just has some construction issues but not something that prevents you from wearing it and looking fab.

>>7948585
Could I have a link to the wig please? It's perfect for what I'm wearing to a con in a few months

>>7946753
Where did you get the star lockets and full inner senshi pen set from?

>>7945718
The VM dress arrived in the mail today, and it is amazing!
The purple dress is still in production and my SS says it won't be ready to be shipped out before January, but I will post pictures if I don't forget to.

>>7949165
I saw this store in the other thread and apparently they're a soft degree reseller.
http://www.aliexpress.com/store/1197605
they shipped really fast which is nice and the wig itself is pretty good quality.

>>7949388
pics, anon, pics!!!

my own haul
>inb4 0/10, worst collage
i know everyone's getting nameless poem now, but it's everything I ever loved about lolita 2k15noregretz
>plus i sucked it up and got some real rori blouses like a champ yay me

>>7949524
>those shoes
I know a lot of people hate those stripper heels, but yeeeess, best gothic shoes imo.

>>7949566
thanks!! i agree but i'm also a huge manafag tbh. one of these days i'll get a similar pair in white and start attempting(!!!) shiro gothic coords.

>>7948782
that's adorable i'm dying congrats

Not really a mail post, but I went to Nordstrom Rack today and bought some shoes for a coord I am planning.

>>7949950
>OL shoes

wat

>>7949955

Not all shoes in lolita have to be pastel PVC and bows.

>>7949963
Those two pairs of shoes don't look similar beyond the colour. Fanny's look like they're probably leather and come up higher on the foot with a decorative bit in front The ones Funk Brothers posted look like cheap office wear. Ffs, there's visible elastic on the fucking things.

>>7949968
I don't think they looked bad at all

>>7949968

They're not the best, but they're not going to look offensive if they're coorded well. And at the very least, they aren't themed shoes with an entirely different themed coord.

>tfw all of victorianme's outfits have off as fuck shoes

>>7949975
>victorianme
Ahhhyes. The lamp chick?

>>7949981

Lampshade chick, yes. And with the goddamn violin shoes.

And enough Bodyline to make my head spin.

I think I'm all done with retail therapy for the day...

Finally got the COSPA keychains. Bought them back in October and the mail person delivered them today.

Still waiting on other goods.

>>7945482

These just arrived at my SS, cute bags are my weakness. Also have some cheap makeup on the way, and waiting for the Haenuli Phantom print to go up.

>>7950076
Links to both?

>>7950157

http://www.super-groupies.com/feature/detail.php?id=71

There are links for all the items in the collection there.

>>7950076
I've been eyeing them...dunno if will. What SS did you use?

Because sometimes you need to buy ridiculous things to keep yourself motivated to do your workouts.

>>7947292
I had no idea that ETC rereleased the biscuit dress and the macaron dress. I'm pretty happy with the original macaron dress but I've never been totally satisfied with the biscuit OP's cut. What do you think the chances would be that I'd be able to sell it quickly to afford the rerelease?

I wish they'd rerelease their chocolate cardigans *_*

>>7950180

>go to leave the house and find a package on your doorstep
>no one knocked

>it has "SIGNATURE REQUIRED" stamped on it in really big letters

I'm just waiting for something to get stolen, I swear.

>>7950180
You best be working out to tommyfebruary6 and her 80s weeb shit in dem warmers.

I ordered these clips from an Etsy store in the UK a few weeks ago and they're here! Big, well made and surprisingly sturdy.

>>7950435
Report him, if usps, you might not have luck unless you take it to your district office, but Loss and damage is the biggest money waster for them right now, and they can only follow the cases of stuff that gets reported, so do that and you should get some action in 4 months or so.

>>7950481
Ah, kanzashi, my one true weakness. I especially love the pieces with falls/dangley bits, but always thought they'd be too weeby.

Any ideas for wearing larger pieces tastefully?

>>7950491
>>>/g/
sir, please

>>7945482
4 separate orders from Baby, can't even combine shipping on them. They probably think I'm nuts by now. Oh well, more free shopping bags for me.

Bodyline shoes were cheap, but will probably take 20 years to get here.

I've been waiting for an air-mail package from China for almost two weeks. Should I contact my SS?

>>7950663
Kek. You'll be waiting close to if not more than a month for airmail from China, especially now since it's the holiday season.

>>7949955
>>7949968
He's a tranny so he probably has trouble finding cute women's shoes his size.

My BtSSB boots are in customs aaaaaaahhh

>>7950484
I'm Australian. Parcels deliveries are handled by contractors. They don't get fired or reprimanded, just moved to a new route for a while. I've lodged more complaints with them than I can be bothered to remember. One guy used to put slips in the box without coming up the drive. Another wouldn't leave slips at all, would mark the package as a failed delivery, then sneak the slip under the door early the next day.

The job is shit, they get paid shit, so they never do it well and no amount of bitching solves it. I'm just venting.

>>7950809
I'm also Aussie and have similar problems. Nothing quite that dramatic but a lot of walking up to the door without the package and a prewritten slip in hand. If I'm in the right spot I catch them but I often miss them despite being home all day.

This is the most mail I've waited on at once ever, and I'll be ordering more this weekend. Figures and pokemon drawstring bag are gifts. Collage quality is shitty because I just used my phone app and put collages inside a collage.

Bottom is from mandarake
Top left is ebay
Top right is taobao

>>7951257
Source on the bag next to the pokemon one and the Miku on the far bottom left?

>>7951268
Hello kitty bag is actually an insulated lunch bag I bought the last one but the seller has the same print in a tote http://www.ebay.com/itm/251458513510

Bottom left two are CDs so I think what you're interested in is the Stowaways Supercell tribute album. If you google it the songs are posted all over the place, all remixes. That was bought from a japanese secondhand shop but I remember they had another one it might still be there. It will cost at minimum around $20 to ship a single cd from them with the cheapest shipping. I can look for it when I get home if you're still interested.

>>7950820
A friend recently told me that they're paid a shit amount per pick-up/drop-off, so they're not really encouraged to do more than a mediocre job at best. And dropping slips counts as a drop-off attempt, so they still get paid for that address.

Since it's faster to drop slips for large parcels or things that need to be signed for, they drop a slip and go to the next address in their list, and try to hit as many as they can in a day. It's a stupid system and it's no wonder Australia post has such a high rate of package losses.

Anyway, I'm looking into filing complaints with the ombudsman the next time something goes wrong, since direct complaints through AP do nothing.

I finally scooped one of my two ultimate dream dresses off of Mbok. The other dress was there at the same time at the same price so I unfortunately had to pick between the two. I was willing to pay so much more but I got it for $240. I have never been this excited. Mana-sama has smiled on me.

>>7951280
>Supercell

Hell yeah I'm interested. Thanks.

>>7950026
What dress is that on the left? It's gorgeous.
>>7946875
Love the Meta purse.
>>7946961
Also requesting sauce on the skirt.
>>7947766
Love the oxfords, and I'm soo jealous of that beret.
>>7950660
Super amazing haul, I love everything. That diadem, hnng.
>>7951615
Great dress.

>>7949985
it doesnt matter if they arent flawlessly colour coordinated, they are very fitting with the coord

>>7951615
omg i hate you give me that dress. the only week that i don't check auctions because of exams pffft

congratulations, i hope you wear it lots, it's really gorgeous

>>7951616
http://ekizo.mandarake.co.jp/shop/en/item_s-738331.html

Have fun! Best World is Mine remix in existence is on this thing. It's by dixie flatline. I mainly bought it for that, no joke.

>>7951709
It's not the colour people take issue with. It's the theme. There's nothing musically themed about the outfit except for the shoes, which makes them very odd to put into the outfit.

If she's carrying one of the matching violin totes, that makes sense. but otherwise, it's just strange.

i'm a basic bitch lolita who fuckin loves pink

>>7952042
>dixie flatline
ROMs produce their own music now?

Goddamn it.
I rarely order parcels from the U.S. Is this kind of location merry go 'round normal?

what's the nicest way of asking a seller if your parcel has actually been posted/proof of postage? she said it was posted last friday but shipping shouldn't take this long according to the website
>tfw anxious because i'm new to this

>>7952413
Just ask for a scan of the receipt. Smart sellers keep the receipt until it's delivered, if not longer (I photocopy and file mine in case a scammer tries to file a false claim just before the claim period ends).

>>7952389
It's not really normal but lately I've noticed that my packages are taking forever in sorting just after customs and getting booted to a faraway sorting facility before making it back to me. So it may be that holiday mail overflow is already starting.

Maria's Catholic Nun OP was one of my dream dresses, I'm glad I got it in the new colour!

Recieved stuff from my part of a taobao order today, bolero and headbands are still with a friend, but I'll get them in a few days. Pretty happy with everything.

>>7952389
I know this feeling of confusion one of my packages from Japan is in Wisconsin for no good reason. I live in Utah and it arrived in the USA through Los Angeles.

>>7953860
Link to the black lacy crisscross OTKs?

I can't wait to have these things on my body

>>7954034
Not that anon, but it's mu-fish. It's a replica of BABY otks btw. They're nice quality though.

horoscope/constellation underbust jsk by aatp in navy, was eyeing this since i got into lolita this year, but it's finally mine!

also getting crowning glory in navy, but the handmade and not misaligned version (special preorder for people who bought the initial slubbed release)

really happy with what i'm getting so far for december

Waiting for this blouse. Hope it looks as good as in the pictures!

my buyer doesn't want me to declare the contents of their package to avoid import taxes, literally wants me to write 'gift' as the declaration. what the fuck

>>7950660
Hey anon, will you be coording the gold shoes with sweet or classic? Or do you have a specific piece to match? I'm trying to decide if I should buy them myself but I don't know if they would look good with what I have

>>7950660
this gold/burgundy/offwhite/mostly baby collage got me all hot n bothered tbh

>>7956478
Yes and?
Do it newfag

>>7956529
I'm not too sure about the shoes yet and how chunky they will look on my feet. If they look too chunky, I'll probably wear them with sweet. But I've been liking the gold shoe trend with classic, and I think the higher heel will look good with my longer dresses since I'm rather short. I mostly bought them on a whim because they were $15.

>>7956932
Eugh I can't help it, ivory and bordeaux has taken over my wardrobe.

>>7954038
That lace teacups skirt is the best. Great taste anon.

>>7947102
So it just arrived a couple days ago, didn't have a chance to check in to this thread again. Just wanted to say that it is fantastic. It even opens and closes really well with the automatic function just like the show. I could probably take pics if anyone is interested.

Does anyone know what this means?

Harrisburg is usually where international packages go before they come to me, are they just transporting it somewhere closer or should I be worried?

>>7957461
oops, I dropped my pic.

>>7957461
Harrisburg is going to have multiple post offices. Usually, "transitional" depots don't handle regular mail and are just used as a way point. They may have sent it to a normal post office by mistake and had to reroute it to a depot.

>>7957471
And by "regular mail", I mean that they don't have a front office where you can mail things out or pick things up. They're not public, but purely a stopping point to drop things off for the next stage of delivery.

>>7950520

Kanzashi are gorgeous. I'm still working on making them uniformly to make a hairpiece.

>>7956944
Thank you! I bought them as well, if they end up being too chunky for classic I will settle for sweet as well. I would like to wear them with my sax Lost in Sea Blue OP to bring out the golds of the stars and moon charms, but I don't know if it's a good idea... oh well, shoes were only 2000yen anyway.

>>7949194
I got them from here:
http://p-bandai.jp/chara/c0468/item-1000091150/
http://p-bandai.jp/chara/c0468/item-1000093936/
http://p-bandai.jp/item/item-1000093935/

But the pre-orders are closed for both items, so they'll have to be bought elsewhere. People have some up on Ebay and a few other amine merchandise sites.

I'm salivating. The seller is taking SO long to ship to my SS..

>>7945482
Waiting on this beaut

>>7958090
Wow anon, this is a gorgeous dress. Congrats!

>>7958097
Thank you! I'm super excited and I just had to share.

>>7948782
arrived at my ss and was shipped on fridayyyyy

Bodyline shoes are still in limbo since the 27th of October but another package which went MIA on the 29th arrived today so it might arrive this week

Still no clue why I bought that skirt - the impulse buy was strong in this one.

Two long sought after items finally in my hands in last couple of weeks. Firstly, my SS managed to grab me an EXEN Zur long Roland coat from Boz when it was first released. A long-length Roland's been a dream item for the last few years. I've also just received a pair of AatP wide-leg pants, which I've been considering for ages as well. A friend sold me theirs for 45 usd, and they're in perfect condition.

>>7958728
sauce on the flowery bag?

>>7958870
I love the coat! But somehow seeing those pants and that coat together made me think of a Mr Yan cosplay.

>>7958870
Great taste, anon. Now please do this. >>7958880

>>7958889
>>7958880

Thank you very much! The coat's really gorgeous in real life, it's a lovely quality corduroy.
As for the Mr Yan cosplay... errr... no. Just no. For starters, I'm female. Akira's style is more the look I'm going for.

>>7950076
Hey anon, could you let me know what the pleather quality is like when you get them?

>>7957464
>>7957474
Well, that's strange, but it went from that update, to being at my house this morning. I thought it would have transferred to somewhere closer (Harrisburg is ~2.5 hrs away from me) but I guess they just tossed it in the van and brought it here/

>>7958875
It's from L'EST ROSE.

Not a shopping haul, but I just mailed out about 17 lolita items over the past week and a half........ my heart is breaking in two as I'm leaving sweet lolita.

I'm still pissed USPS' calculations online are all sorts of wrong so I ended up spending more out of my pocket to ship out items.

>>7948535
Seconded please please please

I don't really know what happened here. I needed some long sleeved shirts and I've wanted an ugly christmas sweater for ages, so..yeah. I'll just see how it looks once I get it, I don't have high hopes.

>>7959614

Link to the strawberry sweater, please.

I need ten.

>>7945535

Plebeian here, is that print a real painting and if so what is the name?

>>7959614
Link to the Cthulhu jumper?

>>7959618
http://www.ebay.com/itm/321586269059
But I think they might be all sold out because I can't seem to find it. I found the link in the eBay thread and the name was like Strawberry Plush Sweater Women Girl Round Neck Fuzzy Pullover and it was from this store http://www.ebay.com/usr/lenovo*dress?_trksid=p2059210.m2749.l2754

>>7959645
http://shirt.woot.com/offers/merry-cthulhumas-crewneck-sweatshirt
They just sold them for a couple of days though and I think they've stopped? They had it as a tshirt a few days ago at least along with a bunch of other ugly christmas sweaters

>>7959614
Link to the pizza jumper?

>>7959636
It's a mash-up of several paintings, the main two are explained in this tumblr post: http://thedarkforest.tumblr.com/post/89106469104/juliette-et-justine-vanitas-premium-onepiece-is

>>7945535
>>7959614
Man I really want to love that Ista Mori dress, but I really dislike the crosses on it. If only they had a version with no crosses.

>Bodyline shoes
>3.2lb order from Taobao
>wig from Ebay
>four craft orders from Ebay

Merry Christmas to me.

>>7959862
Without the crosses it looks like a really simple pattern/dress I'm sure there must be one out there. You'll find it someday.

>>7959816

Oh, cool. Does anyone have any HD closeups of the print? I love it!

I think they said they were doing a version without crosses on the recent re-listing. Maybe poke around and see if that was true?

>>7959614
Sauce on panda sneakers?

Decided to get this dress for my first lolita coord.. I've wanted this for a long time and now I got money to order it. I love brown and cats so I fell in love with this the minute I saw it.

>>7960746
That's a solid option as brown goes with a lot of skin and hair tones and gives you leeway with different accessories as well.

>>7960746
I have the salopette in this colorway (since the JSK was sold out in my size), the print is adorable, and the color is really nice. Good buy!

>>7960778
Yeah, I almost ordered the pink one but decided to go with the brown one at the last minute since it definitely is a safer choice. Also I decided to build up my wardrobe with browns first since it is my favorite color and I think they will work when I get older as well. Browns, pinks and ivories will be what I start up with since I've used those colors in my everyday outfits a lot.

>>7959862
They did...

Oops my hand slipped.

>>7950660
These too now, the AP sale was too tempting.

Finally paid to ship my long awaited mbok order. Most excited for the jm stuff,iw bonnet and sweet cream house op.

>>7961100
Well I guess I didn't know about this dress when they did do that.
Will look into finding someone that bought the plain version.

>>7951653
Sorry for the late response, I'm >>7950026

The dress on the left is Lief's Angela Stella JSK in the Sophia colorway. :)

Ordered the blouse in black. I'm glad to see my wardrobe is growing little by little.

Nothing exciting, just some cheap makeup from Amazon because I neeeed it for work but don't have a huge budget to go Katamari the entirety of Sephora.

Lipstick already came today and everything but the wig and contour/blush comes Friday.

The wig will be the death of me since its supposed to arrive in January and I have to spend all the time in between worrying that it'll be shit.

>>7961685

Damn, I'm looking at the sale stuff now. So many things I want but really don't need...Lord give me strength.

>>7954041
>>7954034
so I just got them and I'm actually kind of disappointed with the quality. They were definitely lower quality than the other tights I ordered from mu-fish.

Bags are on the way. The yen needs to go back to being shitty again, now that it's dropping my shopping tendencies are getting bad because of all the good deals.

>>7962173
hnnng anon where are those wine shoes from? Lovely taste!

>>7962452
Chelsea Crew. They are on sale on shoegasm right now.

>>7962450
sauce on the bag/wallet in the lower right hand corner, please?

>>7962450
Sauce on the bags? Love The Clow clutch and that bag is such a nice shade if pink, A+ taste.

>>7956209
Oh R-Series. I'm thinking about ordering that blouse also!

>>7945482
does anyone know how to report your local mailperson? (USPS)
i'm really fed up with ordering things and getting a pink slip because they are too lazy to even come to my door, even when the package says LEAVE IF NO RESPONSE in huge fucking letters

the reason i'm mad is mostly because
1. sometimes it's important medication my mom is sending me because i don't have health insurance
2. i have shit to do and if i know they're coming i try to stay home and wait for them so it's wasting my time

sometimes they do come but it's extremely rare

>>7962498
Are you in the US? I just had to do this recently. You call the usps general number and make a complaint. Tell them to give you a complaint number and the number for the district. Generally the local post office will do nothing to help you.

This should be here next week!

I'm so sorry for the super late reply, I totally forgot I posted here!

I know it's been forever since anon posted this, but source on the brown bag? I have an intense need

I ordered Water Lily of Monet tights from The Snowfield on 9th November. Have a meetup tomorrow and will just have to go with solid eBay tights. The first and only time I ever spend more than £5 on tights and they take forever.

>>7962817
The Snowfield seem to have disappeared off the face of the earth anon and aren't responding (at least to me and my friends) emails. People have complained on their fb page too
See if she responds to your email but if she doesn't then I'd do a paypal claim

A few things here or there. Hopefully I'll be adding a blouse, shoes, bolero, and bag (depending on the auctions). Mother 3 OST is for my bf for xmas.

>>7945482
Went on a little spree. not even sure if i like the meta gingham jsk much, it looks off to me, but there was something inside me that told me to buy it, so i did on impulse. same thing for the dear celine dress, i'm not a fan of the shape but there's something about it i find cute....

My Iw-addiction is showing.
But good I'm so glad over allot of these pieces

I'm so happy!

>>7964209
Such a cute haul anon. I really need those earmuffs!

>>7964215
i like your taste, anon.

>>7949524
Did they do a rerelease? It seems like everyone is getting Nameless Poem
Same with the Nightmare Rising jsk

>>7964389
Nameless Poem held a reservation a few weeks ago (closed now), and Nightmare Rising did get restocked, plus Rouge Aerie did some discount promotion that a lot of people jumped on. I can't wait to see all the coords people will do.

I'm supposed to be buying christmas presents.

Did a winter shop at mbok, started off just getting a secret santa present (not pictured) but then it snowballed out of control.
Also got some monomania stuff for my friend
Planning to order Haeneuli PotO OP in white too
send help


>>7964419
They are Christmas presents to yourself anon

>>7964215
Nice putu haul. Just a word of warning, the jewellery print OP has three ties at the back that are a huge pain to do up...

>>7964215
>cat window OP
jelly. I always miss it and the skirt when it goes up.

>>7964288
Thanks!

>>7964517
Yeah, I'm actually hoping to remove them and turn a pair into waist ties. Most of my Putu stuff isn't too complicated construction-wise, so I think its possible.

>>7964733
I got soooo lucky last night, because I just happened to be on Facebook when Miss Harajuku put up a sales post. Apparently it's a little damaged, but meh. You'll find yours someday, anon!

I am trash. Necomimi is having a sale this weekend so I caved and bought one. I've been wanting them for over a year, and I am way too excited to be getting them tomorrow.

Also ink cartridges are on the way so I can do things. (Fallout things)

>>7964882
I had these, resold them because they don't work that great, they're annoying to put on as well.

>>7964882
I always thought they were ugly as sin and way too bulky to be as cute as they COULD have been.

But my friend told me they're a lot of fun during sex and now I can't stop thinking about it

>>7964202
What's the middle dress? It's beautiful!

I'm actually offended my postman doesn't recognize me by name. My brothers order shit all the time, and here I am signing all of their shit, and he still asks my name.

>>7964907
How?
They give you a headache and if you move your head too fast they fly off.
They're pretty fun though, if only for the reaction of people who don't understand the technology.

Why save my money when I can throw it all at IW

>>7965089

My mailman knows our house as the 'girls who order online all the time." I'm vaguely embarrassed by this, but hey that's what happens when your country has nothing bro.

Nothing really coming in until after Christmas for me, but I did order this coat.

>>7965338
I work nights so I'm almost always home and in pajamas when the mail comes. Postman probably thinks I'm some kind of recluse NEET.

>>7965330
why buy things for yourself when you can buy them for me?

(cute haul, very jelly)

>>7965426
I always answered in pj's and barely conscious - he's finally gotten the hint and doesn't ring the bell anymore. The best was when I went to visit my grandma's a few blocks away and found she had one of my packages. I had something I needed to sign for and the mailman was familiar enough with us to know we were related. Not sure it was entirely legal, but I sure appreciated it!

>>7948819
just FYI the elastic was impossibly tight on my blouse. Had to get it taken out.

>>7964882
>Necomimi
>$30
Weren't they like $100 less than a year ago? Shit, if they had really cute, floppy bunny ears I'd get a pair.

>>7964882
> sold out
Why this

>>7965610
People sell "custom ears" but honestly they are seriously shit. They only measure pulse, which is technically all they say they do(only with fancy words) so they don't actually react to what you feel but rather if your pulse rises, so they work the same when you're excited or doing cardio or something.

My friend had them and while they are fun at parties when drunk, they are annoying to wear, uncomfortable, bulky and stupid.

Honestly, they need to make just a simple pair of either headband or clip ones that move at random it would be much cuter and simple.

>>7965636
Yeah, I just checked on Etsy for bunny ears and found this disaster.

I've heard that they're a hassle to wear and sometimes cause headaches from being so heavy. And that huge pulse monitor is such an eyesore even if you have a fringe. I mean, now that they're $30, I wouldn't have minded getting a pair but I never even glanced at that shit when it was over $100.

>>7965610
I have been lying in wait. I was secretly hoping my dad would buy them for me, but he didn't get my hints.

>>7965625
I'm sorry anon, people get excited over cheap shit.

I honestly doubt I'm going to recieve the Toy March parka though. The girl I bought it from completely cut off all communication with me once I paid and she's been active.

>>7965819
Who is it? I'll fucking kill them. That parka is the most beautiful thing in all existence and anyone who denies it from someone else should be punished to the highest degree.

>>7965096
Which is why I can't stop thinking about it, they are uncomfortable as it is and would be a turn-off to wear imo.
But my friend told me they just went all over the place so it was both hilarious and hot in some odd weeb way

>>7965823
Your friend sounds like a fucking retard. I would more sooner do the exact opposite of what someone like that says.

>>7951257
source on the blue dress at the top?

Just a few hair accessories since I'm lacking in them.

I also grabbed a pair of basic black bloomers but they're nothing special.

>>7965089
I order so much shit that all of the DHL delivery guys who regularly work my area recognize me from across the street. Not sure if this is incredibly shameful or great.
> tfw one of them once stopped in the middle of the road because he saw me and gave me a package I'd missed

>>7964790
I think it should be okay, they're just sandwiched in the seam

Got a bunch of cute little bits and pieces from MILKBBI

http://www.milkbbi.com/shop/

i see like the same people buying just fuck tons of dresses every fucking week

where do you wear all of this shit?

do you people just dress in taobao for meetups and internet selfies then just wear forever 21 jeans and VS Pink sweatshirts everywhere with uggs?

-----
to keep on topic, some side board cards for this standard deck

and a few modern cards like forked bolt

>>7965932
Well you're giving them job security, so they probably appreciate your efforts.

>>7965819
That sucks, that parka is one of my wishlist items too. If you never end up getting it, name and shame. Great haul though.

Ordered a bunch of foxcherry stuff and other taobao stuff. I got a sweet Mildred lucky pack and a wig for Black Friday. I also bought a dress and accessory off lace market but it seems to me that that are taking forever to ship

I might have gone a little overboard but I love cute socks and I had a 20% off coupon

>>7966327
I just ordered some stuff from F21 as well, anon! They have some nice blouses too, at the moment.

Because tacky bags are my weakness.

>>7966332
I was super tempted to but nothing I like is on sale and I got a shit discount coupon.
At least the coupon is better than what employee discount was, but still.

>>7965330
Love the JSK on the left!

Returned the old shoes and bought new ones instead. These are Franco Sarto boots from DSW. These match the brown with Victorian Letter.

>>7966355
It takes every ounce of restraint I have not to buy this thing, god.

>>7966356
I caved and bought two, but I keep telling myself that it's okay because they're cheap and I'm in dire need of some.

>>7966538
I'm the anon who made the "elastic" remarks about the last pair.

These are a huge improvement.

>>7966538
As a dude, is it alright to wear women's shoes? I was under the impression that men shouldn't wear womens heels and should buy crossdressing shoes because your center of gravity and anatomy is different and you could end up causing injury to your back and so forth?

>>7966556
Never heard that before, and I've seen tons of dragqueens that wear womens shoes, so I doubt it'll cause any more back damage than heels do to women?

>>7966546
I really like going to DSW. I'm glad I got full price on the return from Nordstrom Rack.

>>7966556
If you're going to dress up in lolita, you need to wear women's shoes. Pumps, heels, tea parties, platforms, etc. You can't wear men's shoes with the dress. It doesn't look right at all.

>>7966556
I think even if that's true, as long as you wear them only occasionally, you should be fine.

Finally found a strawberry print I like

>>7966556
Men have a higher center of gravity so balancing in heels will be more difficult for a guy than for a woman. The construction of shoes won't differ though between ladies' shoes and drag queen shoes. If you fit in standard ladies' sizes then you don't need to go for special made.

>>7966623
This is on LM right now in the red colourway and I'm so tempted to add it to my IW haul.

>>7966869
I bought it from tenshi shop, I was tempted by the red colourway but I love the contrast on the blue colourway.

Lolitadesu is selling the halterneck version pretty cheap

http://www.lolitadesu.com/strawberry-jam-jsk-short-in-red-from-innocent-world/

Also waiting for some normalfag clothes.

>>7966875
Oh man, that's tempting. I think I'm gonna have to hold out until after the holidays since I need to get gifts. (I keep telling myself that but I know I'm probably gonna cave)

>>7967036
did the madoka collab line sell out immediately?

>>7967320
Pretty much. I had to resort to auctions to get what I wanted.

Mostly from Black Friday. I just closed out my Japonica order and then jumped into buying from lolitadesu. I only put down the main pieces - I got a bunch of smaller items like bows and socks as well.

I am so excited for the sweetmildred and mossbadger lucky packs. I hear nothing but good things about those two.

There's a whole range of them I think. The donut one is pretty cute too.

Oh no, that's adorable. Sauce?

Betsy Johnson can be really hit or miss for me, but I'm pretty excited about this.

>>7968488
That's too cute.

>>7968488
Where is the link? I was looking at their cat bag and others.

I really like Besty Johnson's bags and how some of the bags you can coordinate it with lolita.

>>7968583

>>7968503
Did not see the cat bag, but I probably don't need a fourth cat-themed bag in my life...

>>7968603

I got the donut one and this milkshake one. I bet they fit nothing but at this point I'm past caring.

>>7964143
Adding this (yesss) also my boyfriend apparently got me all the bodyline stuff from my amazon wishlist, so I guess I've got 2 blouses, bloomers, and 2 pairs of shoes in the mail as well.

>>7965819
I hope you end up getting the parka, it's super cute.

>>7965841
Cute haul anon, if this thread is still up when they arrive can you review the bonnet? I've been thinking of getting one for myself

>>7956478
>Declare contents
>Avoid

Hahaha.

>>7966355
I've put it into my cart, and now I'm staring at it and trying to wrestle myself out of buying it.

>>7956478
The last time someone tried that with me, I told them that they'd have to make their payment as a gift PP payment. They changed their mind after that.

>>7956478
And...? Just tell them that if the package gets lost, it's on their arse.

>>7962214
Sauce on the makeup brush kit?

>>7956478

Don't! This could be a possible trick to scam you.

>>7969853

It's too late for me, I've already bought two, save yourself anon,

>>7970376
I've avoided it for now, but that's the second time, and it's on sale too...
>tfw looking for excuses to buy

JSK just came in today, everything else is recently ordered. Sweet Mildred headdress was an impulse buy on Black Friday, but just realized it might actually match the JSK, what luck!

The CCS bags came in and they're super cute! Colors ate a bit off due to my cell phone cam and poor lighting.

Obviously haven't taken them out yet, but the material used for both feels really sturdy.

My post office finally fucked up. I got a package marked "Undeliverable as Addressed" and it's on it's way back to Russia. Is there anything I can do to stop or intercept it? I've looked through the archives and there's a lot of sob stories, but no one seems to follow up. It's already gone from my local post office. How fucked am I?

My regular mail man was off yesterday so my package didn't get delivered. Thank goodness I kept the slip they left though even though I filled out an online USPS redeliver form.

I waited over an hour for the mail truck to come by and then ran out to get my package. Regular mail man said he didn't have it so I gave him my slip and he's going to look for it and deliver it tomorrow.

>>7972009
Okay, best mail man ever. Apparently he lives just a few houses down so he just showed up on his way home with my missing package.

>>7968663
You're going to need a fourth cat-themed bag in your life.

http://www.betseyjohnson.com/Item.aspx?id=107055&np=958_983

Been waiting for this package since it shipped out on the 18th of November. Now it is apparently in package limbo. What does this mean? Should I call USPS and ask?
