Sakura Days + Taobao Order

Hey everyone!

At the beginning of May, I was able to participate in a lolita fashion show at a Japanese festival, Sakura Days! Too bad it was a bit rainy. I had to wake up super early to do makeup and everything since meeting time was 9am. The stuff I ordered to go with my coord didn't come on time, so I had to improvise a bit ^^"

I wore Btssb's Versailles Bouquet~

I had a lot of fun despite the weather. It was so cold, I was actual shivering on stage haha. I'm still relatively new to the lolita community so I haven't really made friends with everyone yet, but I managed to talk to a few lolitas that were also new so I didn't feel so left out. 

Okay, onto the TaoBao order! 

So, like at the beginning of April, I ordered some stuff on LLP as SS. And I’ve used her many times before but this time wasn’t so great.

I wanted a pair of shoes and it was sold out but she didn’t tell me until a week later.

I got my stuff and one item is the wrong colour and one wasn’t shipped at all. I messaged her about it and she sent me the two items in the correct colour. (THANK YOU)

Communication this time was overall terrible. Taobaospree replies in like 2 days max…and I didn’t hear from LLP for almost a WEEK even when I messaged her almost every day.

The headband sticks out like a sore thumb.

Here's what I ordered-

1. Liz Lisa Replica Bag: Quality isn't A+ (obv), but I really like it! Zipper is a little iffy tho.

2. Suspender Skirt: A little long and big for my liking but overall good construction, material is good too! The ribbon part didn't come already threaded so I had to to do it myself.

3. Blouse: The collar is a little unsymmetrical and it flies up a little on the back...but still prolly my second favourite thing this time. 

4. Rose Headband: I ordered a red one lol, but it's really nice. The cameo on the side fell off when I opened the package so.....the one LLP sent me the second time had the same problem. Says something about the quality hm?

5. Red Skirt: My favourite item! It's pretty heavy and thick. Flares out nicely AND HAS POCKETS!!

6. Suspenders: I literally do not know why I even got them. I could get it here...derp

7. Beret: A beret is a beret. I can't say much about them.

8. Shoes: I ordered a size bigger and it fits perfectly with some socks :D It also came with some fluffy insoles. 

Honestly, this time, it costed me a bit more than expected. LLP split my package into 2 so shipping was $60 total. That's kind of crazy for so little things? I don't know if I want to use her again. 

I have another TB order coming in actually...and the Black Butler Artworks (which I only recently found out about???). I used a forwarding service for TB this time, so I'll definiately write a review and maybe a tutorial for that. 

Thanks visiting o3o
