J-Fashion Haul!!! 9/13/24

An add-on to my dream closet!!

Super happy today cause both of my orders have arrived this week!! First thing that arrived was this jacket from FruFru. I've been eyeing this jacket for so long now, but thought it would be way out of my budget because I'd see resellers selling this for over $140. But then I found out how to buy from Taobao (which is where the original seller is), and the original price is waaaay more affordable. I decided to use spreenow since taobao doesn't ship to the US! It was overall an easy process to make a purchase; it's just that I had to manually add money into my account before I purchased the item + the shipping fee? Nothing too complicated, just an extra step is all. Maybe it's a way to get people to spend more money? Cause I kinda felt too lazy to put in the exact amount cause of conversion rates so I still have a couple cents left in there. As for the shipping, it arrived within 2 weeks!!!Pretty fast imo!!! So I had an overall good experience using spreenow :3. Straight and to the point!!!! BUT YEA HERE'S THE JACKET YIPPIEEE WAHOOOOOOOOO IT'S SO CUTE!!!!! IT'S SUPER SOFT AND FEELS JUST LIKE A BLANKET!! I can't wait to wear this all the time whenever I go out during the winter... And I'm definitely buying more clothes from this seller in the future...all of their stuff is so adorable!!! Look at this tag!!!! So cute!!!! A shame it got bent during transit; nonetheless I'm still sticking it on my wall. I can't wait for winter to come so I can finally wear this!!

Second thing that arrived was several pieces from Noemie! I've been meaning to experiment with different styles, and tenshi kaiwai has interested me for a while! It looks a little bare right now, but I do plan to add a couple of accessories once I wear it out. Quality-wise, it's alright :3 I'm a little concerned about the print on the shirt-dress fading out after a couple of washes. The leg warmers are perfect though - I'm absolutely in love with them!! The fishnet tights are comfy, too - it's my first time buying these kind of tights and initially I thought they'd be too tight? Thankfully they aren't and I actually barely even feel them!!! very lightweight 10/10 glad I didn't accidentally rip them apart within first wear! I used buyee for this shop since it's coming from Japan - also a pretty easy process. I'll maybe do an in-depth tutorial on how to use proxy shipping services based off of my experience sometime!! If I'm not lazy lmao. But in the meantime if you're REALLY curious and wanna know now, there's a bunch of videos on Youtube as well as posts on Tumblr that can help you pick a good proxy service!

All in all, I'm very happy with my haul (as I should - I usually spend hours on deciding whether or not I wanna buy something to the point where it gives me a headache!!!!!!!)! Finding out about taobao might actually make me wanna spend more money on clothes cause I found a LOT I'd love to wear... :,,) As someone who hates spending money I'm so dead
In the meantime though, I'm thinking of sharing my wishlist just cause :> So new page coming soon?
