☆ Bodyline Haul ☆

image
I actually got this package about last month~?
But I am just getting around to posting it now (> 3 <)
Actually, the shipping was really quick, it came in two weeks
Honestly, I haven't even taken most of them out of the bag
I have no room in my apartment and I am going to move soon
so I think I want to keep them safely tucked in storage for now!

These are actually my first lolita clothes ever!
I got really into EGL and japanese fashions when I was about 16 back in 2007
I ended up going a more gyaru look since lolita was more expensive
But! I always coveted the super pretty dresses~

Part of me wishes I started back then when Bodyline first sort of emerged!
The dresses were really cheap (but a lot of them were super bad quality)
They have really come out with cute designs over the years though
and they still remain one of the most affordable 'brands' for lolita~

So, here is the dresses I decided to pick up~
Sorry you can only view from inside the bag for now (= o =)

Again, sorry they're all still in the bags~!
I did a lot of research to see which ones looked nice in person~
and honestly, they are much prettier in real life than in pictures
Since you can't really see them, I'll post the on-site pictures

First of all, I bought the left dress in black
At first, I ignored it because the apron was really not flattering
but then I realised it was removable (and the dress inexpensive!)
The print is very cute and Alice in Wonderland themed

I also bought the black, white, pink striped bear print dress
When I first ordered I was a little nervous.. the print looked a little busy
but in person, it's so cute and has many little details!
I really want the mint version as well..

I also got these two super cute dresses, in black~
I really love the carousel print and pretty stars on the the left dress
and the super cute design on the Squirrel party dress on the right
Though I know these are both super common Bodyline dresses
They're still super cute 

Also, not a dress but I also purchased this blouse in black
Though at first I also overlooked it because of the neck tie
but again, another removable thing, and looks cute without it!
When I look at things on bodyline now, I always look at the extras
because usually whatever it is, looks cute without it

Though I really like how cute and simple the dress on the right is
I am kind of perplexed at the colour in person, it doesn't seem to match the site
Mine is almost a brown instead of grey-ish, which is okay!
Just.. simply weird.

Anyways, that is all for the big items!
Sorry for these slightly blurry pictures to come

Purchased these cute tights~
Kitty, Bats and Bone themed tights

and just some little accessories~
Some socks to match the bear dress
A spicy headband and little bows

And I purchased these shoes as well~
I liked these since they still were cute with bows and such
and no heels! I really don't like wearing heels (; o ;)

Not Bodyline!
But just some basic stuff I purchased after I got my package
Since I didn't have many knee high socks, I figured I should buy some
So, I purchased this set of black and white socks for 5 dollars from Target

Also, found some really cute bracelets at Kohls~
Candies and Juicy Couture have very cute loli-able jewelry
I definitely want to also take a look at Claire's when I can go to the mall
because, most jewelry in store that I find tends to be a little too adult
and not quite cute enough!

Anyways, that is all for now (^_^)/
I hope to purchase more cute dresses in the future
I jumped on these for now to take advantage of the 20% coupon
So, in altogether, my purchase was around.. 180 dollars
So no bad at all~ (^_-)v

but I should definitely wear all of these first for now
I think they are a good start and I am trying to stick with one colour scheme
I really like black/pink and doesn't look over the top cutesy
but I hope to extend my colour selections eventually~
