Today's theme from Lolita 52 Weeks Challenge is "The item in my wardrobe that was the hardest to get".
I don't get much the idea of hardest to get, because it sounds like I needed to get in a physical fight with another girl lol (and that sounds really interesting, imagine getting on a fight wearing petticoats!), but in reality, I don't have a very interesting story about this one. Is just that Ichigo Millefeuille was a dream dress for a long time, because yes, look at this cutie! I even managed to get the skirt in black, but as it is a very classic print (not in the substyle meaning), and very sought after by sweet lolitas, I didn't have much luck searching for this one. Just this year I was able to get my hands on it, for more than it retails for. Not even Puppet Circus was so hard to get (because it was three times more expensive than this one and was sitting there waiting to be bought). Whatever, I got the dress!
I really like this color, and the red, with polkadots and strawberries and lace. Perfection has a name, and my closet's address.
If I was going to say the item that was the hardest to get, without the part of "in my wardrobe", that would be probably the Angelic Pretty Creamy Cherry Tea Set. Originally given as a gift for those who attended the Brilliant Night Party in Tokyo in 2016, this item was a dream for me since I saw it. In 2019 it was put for sale in the event of the opening of Angelic Pretty in Shibuya Parco. It was an event exclusive item, which means you could only be able to buy it if you went to the event in person.
I reached some Shopping Services to do it for me, and one of them accepted. It was a high risk sending a whole tea set from the other side of the world, knowing how (not) carefully the packages are treated by the mail, so I had to assume the risks of receiving broken pieces. Luckily everything arrived safe! It was a dream coming true!
And you, what was the item in your wardrobe that was the hardest to get?
This dress matches you a lot <3 it's AP, it is cute, it is from AP's golden sweet era... Happy you have it, even though it was hard to get!
ReplyDeleteAnd this tea set is AMAZING, it is impressive that nothing broke during shipping!!
Thank you!
DeleteConsidering that when I bought my Usakumya they made a huge hole on the box and got the package all wet and had to repack it, I was pretty amazed that the tea set arrived in good conditions 0.0
