Stained Glass

I pre-ordered the new Moitie dress, Stained Glass in black x red gradient. There was a delay in production but it finally arrived at my doorstep today. At least the delay wasn't as bad as when Silent Moon was released, so I guess they're improving...

Isn't it beautiful? Actually, it's a little less beautiful worn. The waist is definitely not where natural waist should be, but it's not quite high enough to be empire. Well, I guess it's closer to empire than natural waist.

Here are some details.

Overall, I'm happy with it, though I'm not amazed. Still, Moitie finally realised that red is a valid colour, so how could I not be happy XD Now I'm just waiting for a monotone print in red! How awesome would that be?! Can you imagine... Iron Gate in red on black?! One can dream XD

Just shopping (unsuccessfully)

I want to buy a brown classic lolita dress. Or rather lolita inspired. Something that wouldn't require a petticoat. Like one of those casual Innocent World dresses, but they don't have anything in chocolate brown right now.

Anyway, this is what I wore to go shopping today:

dress: Emily Temple Cute
bolero: Baby, the Stars Shine Bright
socks, shoes & bag: Innocent World
necklace: Claire's 

Misako Aoki's tea party

The theme for this party was "Classical Chocolate". Unfortunately, I didn't have anything chocolate-y to wear, so I just wore the most classic outfit I could think of.

This is the cake that we were served. Next to it you can see a bookmark with Misako's picture, and a piece of candy - a souvenir from China.

 Misako and the designers responsible for her today's outfit.

 Misako was talking about a trip to Gunma that she wants to organize.

I look like a giant next to Misako XD Funny how she didn't seem so small last time I met her. Maybe she was wearing higher heels back then XD

After the party, outside the cafe.
