peiliee's gorgeous anniversary dress. a light bubblegum pink velvet apron style dress. the charm points are the ruffled edge heart on the front and the 4 ribbons on the straps. i love running my hands along the fabric! it is so so soft and warm.

in one word: gorgeous. this quality of this dress is just astounding! very thick, warm fabric in a lovely brown plaid. it also came with a matching choker that i don't have pictures here. the puffed shoulders make me feel like a princess. i can't wait to wear this in the winter time!

another simple yet lovely one piece from Ank Rouge. I love bib collars and lavender so this dress hits a ton of homeruns for me. its also very flowy and breezy, perfect for outings with friends. sometimes I like to cinch it at the waist with a belt for a more structured look.

Bobon21 pieces have amazing longevity! this was one of my first j-fashion purchases. I bought all the way back when I was in 7th grade and it's still as good as new! it goes with almost anything so it gets a lot of wear.

another early purchase of mine. bought it around the same time as the bobon21 jsk. it's made of very simply materials and it's not the most high quality, but it has held up to all these years. goes with almost anything for a quick and casual coord.

jumperskirt from the lizlisa x my melody collab in the blue colorway. my favorite part is the little lace up detail on the front with blue ribbon.

one of the most unique dresses i own! the top is a lovely satin diner-style, while the attached skirt is a tulle dream with cute mail envelope patches. this would be perfect for going out to conventions in.

this was my first depop purchase. i love mesh organza overlays, they add a ton of visual interest to outfits! i especially love the red on this one, very romantic! this dress in particular is a bit short. if i were any taller i would not be able to wear it lol.

again, i am a sucker for bib collars. i bought this one and the lavender bib collar dress together in a bundle. the material so so soft and dreamy, i think it's fleece? or something similar. it's also got a fun exposed shoulders moment. major winter snow fairy vibes on this one! i like to tie a ribbon around the waist to give it more shape.

this was a gift from my mother on my 16th birthday! i remember wearing it out while i celebrated with friends. so many fond memories in this dress. purple gingham is the color of my soul. this also has padding so i don't even need to wear a bra with it!
