Hello again! I promise promise promise that I'll start doing reviews of all the stuff I've bought lately. My dorm building is so run down, there aren't any pretty backgrounds to take photos in front of around here. It's easy to lose motivation.
So, here we are, mid October already, but amazingly we're still in the middle of this heat wave. It has gotten a tiny bit cooler since I last complained about it, but it's still definitely summer weather. We don't really get a Fall around here, the leaves turn red while the weather continues being sunny and hot, then somewhere in November it will suddenly start being cold and gloomy. Well, it doesn't get that cold even then really. I live in a desert!!
Anyway enough about the weather, since I know I have at least a few weeks left of Summer, I've been focusing my purchases on items that might be useful for both summer and winter.

To make matters worse, I was on a road trip when the auction was set to end. Lucky for me, my boyfriend agreed to help me and we won! I love the color and I think the bows on the shoulders and lace are so cute, even though it's toned down enough that it can be worn very casually as well. I think it'll look nice with jeans or a skirt alike.
I've been looking around for good my melody t-shirts for casual coords, and this one stuck out to me. I love the roses and the soft colors on this one. I found a lot of bright red my melody T-shirts and they were a bit too loud for my taste. Even a lot of the pink ones were more bubblegum pink than what I was looking for. I also really like that this one has the design pretty far up on the shirt, so it won't be cut off when I wear it tucked into a skirt!
Speaking of skirts.... wow I'm in love with these sukapan! The print is very unique to me, it's not the same kind of himekaji border print that I see on a lot of Liz Lisa skirts. I think it has a kind of vintage feeling to it, even. But it's still very Liz Lisa looking. I really like the way they did the waistband. I've gotta try that on my skirts too!
Off Brand

I wasn't really sure whether to list the Hello Kitty jumper under off brand or it's own brand... the tag says Hello Kitty Sorridere but I can't figure out if Sorridere is a big brand or not. Either way, I think it's really cute. I got this one more with winter in mind. I'm thinking since I have so many dusty pinks and peaches leftover from Summer, I'll mix in some rich reds and maroons to try and balance it out. I really like the cut of this dress, and I especially love how subtle the Hello Kitty print is. From a distance you would think it's just a regular floral print dress, but up close there's the cute detail of little Hello Kittys floating around in the print.
Finally, I found this necklace for really cheap and I really like how it looks! I've been looking for a collar-length necklace to wear with some of my dresses. I think this one has a very Lizmelo feel to it, even though it's off brand.
Looks like my Summer wardrobe is shaping up just in the nick of time! Maybe this weekend I can finish up some of the other items I've been working on making myself. All in all, that will bring me to 22 items in my wardrobe. I don't think I'll be buying much else for Summer, since it's going to get colder so soon after these items arrive, so besides maybe a couple of accessories or one more pair of shoes, this will probably be it for my Summer shopping. 22 items is a bit small for a capsule wardrobe, but for the month left of Summer, I think it's enough. I'll do a wardrobe wrap up post once I start transitioning to my winter wardrobe for daily wear.
Stay tuned,
