Alice and the Pirates ❀ Check Vest set

The matching set I've ordered off of Wunderwelt arrived a few days ago. 

It fits really nicely, and the fabric has a nice thickness to it. The vest is also lined with a more satin-y material. I don't remember if the shorts were lined because I wasn't thinking about it too hard.

  The color is the gray as listed. It's a shade of gray that's susceptible to room lighting, so it can look really different depending on where you are. You can really see the tone difference with the flash vs the lamp light. Also please ignore my messy room. 

I paired it with a blouse from target and some corset patterned socks from spirit halloween.

Miraculous Wunderwelt Pull

  I just bought this set from Wunderwelt and it might be my greatest J-fashion pull yet. 

I was mainly trying to hunt down a proper vest so I could make better ouji coordinates, when I saw the vest listing.

 It was sooo cute, so I opened up the page in a different tab and keep scrolling. That's when I saw the shorts meant to go with it, and I realized I could get a matching set!

Both the pants and vest were each listed for about $45 USD (Wunderwelt calculates usd prices from the yen price listed.) and the original yen prices for the vest and pants upon release in 2013 were: ¥15,540.00 and ¥14,490.00 respectively. $174 and $162 USD according to a 2014 blog post by BtSSB San Francisco.

I caught a MASSIVE deal!

Praise the ouji gods!

The A/P Check set comes in brown and gray colorways according to lolibrary ♕ ♛ and the Wunderwelt listing said they had the grey one, but the pictures looked a bit more like the brown colorway. So I'll just have to see when it arrives in the mail!

Either way, I can't wait to coordinate this set!

The material doesn't look thin, so it should be easy wear and stay warm this coming winter. Although I won't have to worry about it getting too cold in my area because of climate change. 💀💀💀

I'm fashionable sometimes...

If you don't know, (which you don't because I haven't posted about it yet) I do a lot of puttering around with Philly J-Fashion. So I can occasionally be seen being cool and fashionable when I'm not sitting in my cave. 

Which is super fun and cool, but I often forget to post about it. Which technically isn't necessary, but I'm trying to run a blog so wtf.

Anyway, here are some of my outfits from when I was out with them. ദ്ദി

I made a post and a crusty video about the first convention I went to, and forgot to post anything decent about it here.

Philly J-Fashion held a panel there, so instead of attempting to cosplay, I put together (heavily planned) this cult party, visual kei and ouji inspired coordinate. Idk why, but I was randomly super into cult party kei at the time. Although I still do find it really cute and underrated so I think I'll keep slowly collecting more cult party type stuff.
