#fuga lupinus

Trying to get some new(ish) arrivals processed! Some of this is recent, and some of these has been sitting around for weeks because it was such a small group. I smooshed ‘em together for this post. XD

First pic – gorgeous 3-way gray jacket by Silver Butterfly. It’s so plushy! The hood and fur collar are both removable, so you can easily change the look of it around. I bought it mostly with Dom in mind, but I think it’d be fun to style it for everyone, even V and Joce depending on the rest of the outfit.

Second pic – basic gray hoodie by Kyrie. Honestly, I was a bit surprised by this in person, although I don’t know why. Maybe I assumed it’d be a heavier sweatshirt material than it turned out to be? Whatever the reason, it’s quite cute for being such a simple design.

Third pic – some very interesting pants by an unknown maker. (The original, handwritten price tag was included, but it doesn’t have a name attached and there are no other tags.) It, uh, has a contrasting plaid crotch gusset, which is even more obvious from the back. I don’t know if I’ll end up keeping these because they’re a little strange, but I might have to try styling them (probably on Dom) just to see what they look like on.

Fourth pic – “fair isle” knit leg (arm?) warmers by Fuga Lupinus. These are just so adorable, and I’m super pleased I was able to pick them up.

Fifth pic – beautiful lace +d hoodie. This is a much different, more elegant flavor to the other hoodies of theirs I have; the body is lace with tulle underneath, and it has very short sleeves. It should be cute paired with shorts or a skirt for spring, don’t you think?

Sixth pic – YoSD outfit set by an unknown maker. I grabbed this on a whim because it looked cute. I have some other pink and red things that will help round it out a bit as an ensemble. If you happen to know the dealer name, please share! <3

Seventh pic – tweedy brown knit coat by g angelic. I’ve seen their name before, but this is the first piece of theirs I’ve owned. It looks cozy, so I’d better get to using it soon while snow’s on the ground. XD

Eighth pic – striped pants by Honey So Sweet. Usually, I buy HSS stuff mainly for Jer, but these might have to go to someone else. (They’re slim fit, which I don’t typically associate with him.) Lots of interesting details in this pair, with the mixed fabrics, split hems, and distressing. Fun~

Ninth pic – “marine bag” by Alfheim. This is the Unoa size, actually, so it might be a bit small for SD, but whatever. It’s still cute!

Tenth pic – “apple beret” by JET RUNNER;D. The concept alone is fantastic. I’m also just a sucker for berets and hats, plus I think the red color will pair perfectly with the Aprism dress from a while back.

More to come??

The other half of the Yahoo!Japan box! These were from a couple of separate listings, but they’re… all Fuga Lupinus, so you have an idea of where my heart lies. XD

First pic – fantastic “toffee nut” pullover. Both the print and fabric are just wonderful. This was part of a “chocolate tops” set release, along with the two brown turtlenecks I acquired back in May (which were “ganache” and “truffle chocolate”). For Justyn, most likely?

Second pic – a droolworthy vest. If I’m not mistaken, this is handknit; it’s soft and adorable and I don’t think Fuga offered many things like it. I don’t have any definite plans for it at the moment, but I’m sure I’ll come up with something eventually. I wonder what would look nice under it…

Third pic – waffle-knit top, AKA another piece I’ve been in love with since the preview pics hit. It’s a thermal shirt! So cute. I can’t believe I finally own it. Even though it’ll be gargantuan on her, I want to put it on V at least once.

Fourth pic – basic oversized white t-shirt. It’s the same exaggerated shape as the “rose” shirt I snagged last year, just without any other decoration. Because it’s so plain, it might be neat to layer a brightly colored Kyrie/Euphoria/Miel tank under it and get color in an outfit that way.

Fifth pic – basic white tank. Surprisingly, I think this is the first white one I have? I have tons of tanks in different colors and prints, and a few black styles from various dealers, but this might be the only one that’s just… white. Huh. It will undoubtedly come in handy.

Sixth pic – summery blue cardigan. The fabric is loose and almost sheer, and it shimmers in the right light. It’s very interesting. It’ll work well for most of the boys for various reasons – the blue would look good with Dom’s eye, it’s bright and beachy for Justyn, and so forth.

Seventh pic – batwing top in a textured ivory fabric. I have another in the same style, but the fabrics make quite a difference when they’re next to each other in person.

Eighth pic – coveted. I love food shirts for my dolls. I also love pineapple. (Yes, I’m a pineapple-belongs-on-pizza person.) So this is a match made in heaven. Because it is food-themed, it will be Justyn’s and probably Justyn’s alone. :O~

Ninth pic – adorable necklace. Love the poofy pompom! It, along with the blue cardigan and ivory batwing top, were part of a summer set a while back. (I already own the same fruit print shorts that were included in the set.)

Tenth pic – finally! I have one of the famous bolo ties in another color! It’s been a long uphill battle; these things are hard to come by and always seem to be viciously fought over when they show up. The lavender colors are amazing. I think it could work for V, even, and it’ll be fun to use for Vincynt (who traditionally gets all things purple) and Justyn (because he get soft colors). I’m a little shocked to have another one of these after all this time. XD

That’ll probably be it for now!

I have one more tiny DollyTeria batch that will have to wait a while longer (it’s been… weeks already…). I hate feeling so grinchy when it comes to the holidays, but December always seems like such a horrible, stressful slog where I can’t seem to accomplish anything for myself. It’s killing me that it’s winter already and I still haven’t photographed fall outfits. ;o;

It’s almost over, though, and hopefully I can make some time for doll photos and outfits and fun things again after this weekend.

A big Yahoo!Japan package arrived from my proxy’s recently… finally trying to get it processed so I can play with it all once the holiday stress dies down.

First & second pics – matching YoSD dress sets by Lush Berry. I’ve had their Twitter post bookmarked for ages, hoping I would eventually be able to find these to add to my collection. I’m so pleased! Now I just need to find a third… and maybe the turtlenecks, too? XD

Third pic – gorgeous floral print corduroy jacket by Kyrie. I’m sure I’ve mentioned it before, but… I love corduroy. The combination of fabric + print in a jacket style like this is both outrageous and cool. I’m sure it will end up on Dom first, and not just because the floral print is the same as these pants I photographed him in a while back, heh.

Fourth pic – butterfly top, also by Kyrie. What makes this unique is the way the neckline is cut along the top of the butterfly’s wings. It’s an interesting design decision, to say the least, and I don’t think I’ve seen another shirt like it.

Fifth pic – cropped white jeans, again by Kyrie. And, no, you’re not imagining it; you’ve seen something like these from me before! They’re the second pair I’ve owned, only this pair is from the later release, indicated by the studs on the pocket rather than a tiny silver skull. My thought is that Justyn will end up using these the most, and the skull doesn’t suit him. Plain studs will be more versatile.

Sixth pic – stylish sweater and dickey set by Silver Butterfly. As usual, there are tons of neat details to these pieces, like the elbow patches on the sweater and the pintucks of the dickey. I honestly thought the teal collar would be sewn in place, but it turned out to be entirely removable. This gives it a ton of mixing and matching options! I think Vince and Dom will share the sweater, but the teal dickey is gonna be fun to play with for everyone.

Seventh pic – “Ability” T by Alfheim, this time in black. I’m not 100% sure I’ll keep this, only because I already have the same style in a dusty blue. Black and white shirts can be more useful because they “go” with everything, but I’ve really been loving the chance to do more with colors in my dolls’ wardrobes than I have in the past. Still, we’ll see. It’s here now, anyway!

Eighth pic – basic soft yellowish long-sleeve shirt by Fuga Lupinus. Speaking of color! The style is beautifully basic, but I’m so in love with everything about it. Fuga’s work just ticks a lot of boxes for me, and I’m thrilled to add this to the stash.

Ninth pic – fun! and loud! button-down top, also by Fuga Lupinus. It has brightly colored birds and flowers on it; what’s not to love? Justyn’s getting it first, without a doubt, and it kinda makes me wish for summer… (only kinda, though). Even if warm weather is months away, I’m looking forward to using this. <3

And that’s this batch!

Most of these, other than the two Lush Berry sets and the Alfheim shirt, came from the same listing, believe it or not. The lot was pretty sizable, and the seller wasn’t sure about what everything was, which might have worked out in my favor, since the description didn’t mention the Fuga Lupinus stuff, for example, or the Silver Butterfly sweater. It was a lucky score, all in all!

Forever Teal (part 2 of 2; [part 1])

Jocelyn is an Anna-Queen Heart head with a faceup by Anna-Queen and a Volks SD10 boy body (split torso). His top is by Fuga Lupinus, the tank beneath it is by miel, and his pants are by Sotika. The hat is by +d, the scarf is by OILSHOCK, and the necklace is by Harujion. His bracelets are by woolstrung/me.

Forever Teal (part 1 of 2; [part 2])

The hat is by +d, the scarf is by OILSHOCK, and the necklace is by Harujion. His bracelets are by woolstrung/me.

This is it, finally caught up! It’s a little DollyTeria package again, but it contained some really lovely stuff, including something I have dreamed of for a long time now. Let’s goooo~!

First pic – gorgeous hand-dyed “drape cut & sew” top by Silver Butterfly. I am so in love with it! The unusual neckline is fantastic, and all of the other details are top-notch. Apparently there are two color variants, so now I’m wondering how likely it is that I’ll be able to find the other someday. It’s stupid to be over the moon over a shirt, but here I am. I know Dom wants it, but I think I need to put it on Vincynt first. <3

Second pic – “drape tank top”, also by Silver Butterfly. Love this one, too. I’ve had – and missed – several opportunities to pick up this tank recently and was very annoyed with myself… so when another chance came along, I had to grab it. It’s just cool.

Third pic – a fairly basic black tank top, again by Silver Butterfly. It was an impulse buy, and afterward I wondered if I really needed another black tank. But the material is noticeably different than the other one I have, so maybe I’ll end up using it after all. It’s a strangely heavy fabric, even though it’s also mesh? We’ll see, I guess!

Fourth pic – another tank top, but this one is by Fuga Lupinus. Black and white zig-zags, again mostly purchased for the “cool” factor. I so don’t need more tank tops, but I keep buying them anyway. XD

Fifth pic – fantastic cardigan by Fuga Lupinus. This is one of my favorites as far as their tag styles. I also love the neat sewn folds at the front bottom hem! It’ll probably suit Vincynt best, being black (very dark gray?).

Sixth pic – cool hooded ivory top, also by Fuga Lupinus. Like the cardigan, it seems basic but has some extra little details that elevate it. The bottom side hems are folded and sewn, so it has an interesting amount of volume built in. I’ll put it on Justyn first, I think?

Seventh pic – red and navy blue paisley print pants, once again by Fuga Lupinus. I’m actually not 100% sure how I’m going to use these or who’s going to wear them, but I’ll figure it out eventually. They’re at least different, anyway. I’ve been enjoying the ability to give my dolls a wardrobe that’s not just straight black, white, or denim blues, like I did back in the day. XD

Eighth pic – chiffon stoles in pink and white by OILSHOCK. While not as recognizable as their plaid scarves, maybe, they have their own charm and will be nice for accessorizing. Also, I’m just a sucker for adding things to my collection, so, you know. Heh!

Ninth pic – and finally, a straw handbag by OVAL-VELVET. This has been a “missing link” in my collection for ages, and I’m so glad to have one after all this time. With the original tag, even! (It’s the first time I’ve seen one!!) Their bags were something that appears over and over in various dealer blogs and pics – CoCoon, Silver Butterfly, peche*, Hal and Sotika, Aprism, maricotinha, the list goes on. It was just everywhere, but I’d never been able to catch one for sale. I only hope that more will come my way soon! It’s just so iconic of a particular era of dealer works that I adore. <3

Ta-da! Caught up. Next will be actual doll photos, as I have tons there to catch up on, too. Soon… soon… maybe… ._.;;

Still trying to get caught up with recent hauls! This group is kind of all over the place. XD

First pic – cream knit hooded cardigan by maricotinha. So cozy! Their work is sometimes hard to find a good blog post for – they didn’t always document “for sale” items clearly, and they used a lot of their own work for personal photos. (Which is normal, obviously, but their personal and work photos are mixed together and it’s not always obvious which is intended to be which.) Anyway. This is gonna be great for cooler weather.

Second pic – also a cardigan by maricotinha, in a delicious dark charcoal gray. (I thought I had the link to a blog post about it, but I’ve lost it… I’ll edit this once i find it again.) I don’t usually go this dark for V, but it’s such a perfect shape and material and color that I can’t wait to play with it. ;o; <3

Third pic – a cool purple top, again by maricotinha. I’m a sucker for this color, as you might know. XD

Fourth pic – black and white striped turtleneck, yes, by maricotinha. This came paired with the Romantica* top from my previous clothing post, and I wasn’t sure who it was by at first. I came across the blog post randomly… and it’s like the only time it shows up in their photos? Like I said, their work can be hard to track. I like the decorative buttons at the neck. (Also, I WANT that mustard yellow top. Cry!)

Fifth pic – super basic turtleneck by maricotinha. I think it’s this old style, which came in a couple different shades? They made tons of different turtlenecks with various materials and types of finishing. This will come in handy for layering.

Sixth pic – elegant pleated skirtby+d. I bought it reflexively because it’s +d, but now I wonder if it’s a little too glamorous for V? I’ll have to try it out on her and see if I can make it work. Is she maybe too mousy for it? Hm.

Seventh pic – neat long military-green jacket, also by +d. Lots of buttons and details! I bought this specifically for Jer, because I think the pseudo-army look suits him.

Eighth pic – plaid button-down top by Fuga Lupinus. It’s kind of… blueberry? I feel like you don’t see this kind of color much in doll clothes, or maybe I’m just looking in the wrong places. It’s too blue to be purple and not purple enough to be blue… should be fun to mess around with in outfits, probably for Jer or Dom.

Ninth pic – ridiculousfloofy gauze top by KABA. I don’t know quite what I’m going to do with it yet. I love how it looks on their Rigel, though, and I kinda want to mimic that outfit style for Joce. He’d look cute like that, right?

Tenth pic – another velvet*paw kitty hat+scarf for my collection! This one is the “milk tea x bitter” color combo. The fur is a different type from my other two, so it’ll make for a nice change. These things are just too cute. :o~~

Onward~

Some accessories that came in a while back! It was fun to unpack all of these; the lots I won them from were treasure troves of goodies.

First & second pics – more bolo ties by Fuga Lupinus to add to the collection. There are so many color and shape combos!

Third pic – “India” keychain charm by Fuga Lupinus. This is an older style and not as iconic as their yarn pompom ones, but it’s amazingly bright and pretty. I hope I can figure out ensembles that will do it justice.

Fourth pic – soft and gentle necklace, also by Fuga Lupinus. It will probably look nice on Justyn, but I also want to try it out on V.

Fifth pic – black leather belt/harness by KABA. I have it in dark brown, too, but black might prove to be useful. Mostly for Vincynt, I guess?

Sixth pic – black leather bunny mask, also by KABA. The design has gone through a couple of different iterations. It’s a bit misshapen from being in storage, so I need to work on that. I’m not really sure how to use it yet – if it were the cat version, it’d definitely be for Joce, and if it were in natural brown instead of black, it’d be for V. But black + bunny… I’ll have to experiment.

Seventh pic – cute horn accessory, again by KABA. It’s maybe more of a mystery than the other pieces, but hopefully I’ll find a use for it. Possibly it’d work even as background filler? Who knows. That’s a problem for a future me. XD

Eighth pic – french macaron set by Citron, a most coveted piece. I have wished for these for ages… and ages… and ages… and now I finally own them, still in their adorable little package. ;o; <3

Ninth pic – another CoCoon scarf for the collection as well. I knew I would be getting it from the auction pics, but it wasn’t clear that this was, in fact, YoSD sized! It’s my first for Yos. Will I give it to MiMi first? Maybe. >_>

Tenth pic – cute “basket” by HavEy SyRop. At least, I’m pretty sure? They don’t have pics of versions with dark pink flowers, just white, but the style seems very consistent and would make sense, considering other pieces from them I’ve purchased from the same seller. There’s some color transfer on the lace, which is a shame, but it’s not a big surprise given its age. It’ll be easy to overlook once it’s in use.

And that’s it for now! The Fuga pieces and the Citron macarons are my favorites, but the whole batch is really pleasing.

Endless catch-up. This is some of the more clothes-y stuff, before we get to… clothes I haven’t even begun to think about photographing. XD

First pic – fantastic SD17 button-down shirt by girlish*kiss. As always, the details and quality of workmanship are just outstanding. I love the use of dusty pink stitching on an otherwise fairly low-key shirt; it will make this a lot of fun to style. Believe it or not, I bought this for Vincynt!

Second pic – card/gambling print shirt in pink, by KABA. I have photos of the same shirt, in a light brown, saved from a Yahoo!Japan auction in 2008. That’s how long I’ve been hankering for one! (I got my first, the dark brown version, years ago for when Dom first arrived.) Maybe I’ll find that light brown one someday, too…?

Third pic – a half-mystery! This is a neat tank by Fuga Lupinus, but there’s almost no record of its existence?? I have tons of photos saved from their website/blog/Twitter, and it only shows up in one, a little outfit layout from 2020. I’m pretty sure it’s older than that, though. When was it released? Was it part of a set? I must find out more. XD

Fourth pic – another +d jacket to add to my collection. While the construction of this is similar to others I have, it boasts blue striped sleeves and a patch on one arm. Cute. Their outfit combos are always so casually stylish; it’s wonderful. This might be interesting on Jer, because of the prominent blue.

Fifth pic – and another +d hat for the collection, too! I’ve mentioned before that their other style of ribbed knit hat, with the recognizable “ALGER/ALAN” tags, is probably the more popular version, but I adore this design. I’m thrilled to have found it in gray.

Sixth pic – silver sequin-covered kitty-ear hat by Puff & Cool. It is… something else. (And by “something else”, I mean “totally awesome”.) It’s for Joce, naturally, because who else would wear this? <3

Okay! Onward~

Sorry.

Last of the packages for now – these things have been building up at my proxy’s and I finally had to ship them. They’re heavily weighted toward a couple of my favorite dealers, so it’s hard to complain! XD

First pic – super soft and lovely pants by Fuga Lupinus. They look like denim, but the fabric more like a brushed flannel. It’s unusual, to be sure. The bright, light blue color will be perfect for spring and summer. I’m thinking Justyn will get the most use out of them because of it. I love having more of Fuga’s pants; they’re very satisfying.

Second pic – another coveted Fuga Lupinus bolo tie to add to the collection! These are always so fought over on auction. I get why, though. This is a really lovely combination of colors, and I think it’ll mostly be for Jer.

Third pic – a bolo tie of a different sort! The poofy yarn pompom ones aren’t as prevalent as the previous type, both in terms of how many were made and how often they show up for sale. (I had to fight for this one, too!) Having an accessory like this in red will make for a nice change of pace.

Fourth pic – adorable girlish*kiss overalls. Love the pintucks and lace, plus the frilly hems. For V, naturally.

Fifth pic – pretty little brown vest, again by girlish*kiss. The fabric is brushed, like the jeans above, giving it kind of a suede-like look without actually being suede. This was a piece I’d seen on Mandarake (as an old sold-out listing) and had wished for, so it was a lucky strike that I was finally able to own one. Both V and Joce will look good in it.

Sixth pic – more girlish*kiss shorts! They’re very similar to a pair I already own, minus the color. That’s fine by me, as I love the style and having a different fabric option is always a bonus when building outfits. Plus, as with Fuga works, girlish*kiss items are always very satisfying in and of themselves.

Seventh pic – the odd piece out, this is untagged and I’m unsure of the maker. It came with the girlish*kiss stuff. I don’t know if I’ll keep it, in the end, but I figured I’d photograph it anyway and then decide. Of course, I’d love to find out where it came from, so let me know if you have any leads in the meantime!

Next up… real photos, perhaps?

I’d been debating whether I want to keep or sell this kitty duffel coat, as I hadn’t used it since it arrived. So I tried it on someone, who was not thrilled at having been chosen for the dubious honor.

…Honestly, I’m surprised it didn’t go up in flames overnight.

Sorry, not sorry! XD

This is the other half of the recent auction winnings… There was more besides, but some of it I knew I wasn’t going to keep (doubles, company clothes) and some of it I haven’t decided on yet, so I figured I would hold off on photos for the time being. This stuff, though; this stuff I know is staying!

First pic – drapey Fuga Lupinus cardigan, in gray. I have the same cardigan in black, as well. As before, I love the sewn details and tag style, and I can’t wait to use it.

Second pic – cool patterned pants, again by Fuga Lupinus. How could I notlove these? They’re made from a great fabric, with a great shape, and lots of extra fun little details, like the d-rings for attaching keychains. They’ll definitely be a blast to style.

Third pic – an older mod jacket by Silver Butterfly, with detachable fur-trimmed hood. I’m trying to be determined not to let Dom steal this one first; he has plenty of other coats! I want to let Jer have it for once. ;o;

Fourth pic – beautiful blue-gray cardigan, also by Silver Butterfly. The loose knit fabric is dreamy!

Fifth pic – this dyed tank top/dress is also wonderfully romantic! It’s a bit rumpled from storage, but it has such a fantastic look and feel regardless. I think it will suit V’s forlorn look perfectly, so I’m really excited about styling it.

Sixth pic – gorgeous long lace tube dress. The concept is simple, but the combination of fabrics really makes it stand out. It’s another piece that I think will be fun to build around.

Seventh pic – dress? top? I think this was intended for layering, maybe, or was part of a set. As usual with Silver Butterfly’s stuff, detailed photos… don’t really exist. XD

Eighth pic – A-line dress with tons of great details. The floral fabric is actually quite vibrant when viewed from the inside; the layer of fabric over it is what dulls the colors down, making for a very dreamy effect. Even in its current somewhat-wrinkled state, it’s a beautiful piece.

I’ll be honest, this is a very satisfying group. I love both Fuga Lupinus and Silver Butterfly, and the textures, colors, and fabrics used in all of these are just pleasing to the eye and hand. I hope I can come up with some worthy ensembles to photograph! ;o; <3

bonus: current Aloha shirt collection

A fun Yahoo!Japan package arrived yesterday, joining a tiny DollyTeria package that had been delivered a few days before. I was pretty excited about some of these pieces, so I had to get them processed right away. XD

First pic – “Nirvana” pattern open collar shirt by Euphoria. So cute. This is the fun beach-y type of shirt I like for Justyn, and I’m actually (sort of) looking forward to warmer weather so I can justify putting him in it.

Second pic – “Mount Fuji” shirt by Yucca. In fact, I love this type of shirt so much for Justyn that I found him another one, too. The design on the back is fantastic and so unique.

Third pic – navy & white striped top by Mugendou. I haven’t decided if this will stay yet; the design is cute and the quality is high, as expected, but it might be a little off from my boys’ usual style. I’ll give it some more thought.

Fourth pic – “DC-6 dolman tunic in gray” by velvet*paw. This is another one I’m a little unsure about. It’s an adorable style, but I don’t know who would wear it; the gray + black combo is too dark for Justyn, and too cutesy for the other boys. Maybe oversized, on Joce…?

Fifth pic – something of a surprise, a subtly-striped knit top by WORKSHOP. This was part of a lot listing that didn’t offer many details on the dealer names. I thought perhaps it was an older Plug style, but it’s clearly tagged inside with the old WORKSHOP ribbon. I definitely want to try to make use of this; it has some neat detailing in that the hems purposely rely on the nature of the fabric to curl, to give it dimension. It’s a cool effect in person.

Sixth pic – saurel suspender pants by JAM. I. LOVE. These. I couldn’t explain to you why, but I do. I’ve been hankering for them for a while – the dealer has made several variations with different types of straps – and I was ecstatic to find a pair pop up on Y!J. They’ll probably be for Dom because of course they are, but look at that crazy crotch design. How could I pass it up? XD?

Seventh pic – a much sought-after keychain/accessory by Fuga Lupinus. This has somewhat similar colors to the other one I have, but other details are different. For example, it has a little bell attached to the bottom! (The package kept chiming while I was opening it up.) I would love to collect more of these someday, but as with most Fuga accessories, they’re hard to come by.

Eighth pic – another Choi-Cafe knit kitty-eared cardigan, this time in pink. Just gotta collect ‘em all!

Ninth pic – YoSD high-neck tunic “b:TT- 2 in lilac”…

Tenth pic – and “b:TT- 3 in navy blue” by velvet*paw. Finally, some of these shirts for my little girls! I want to get the pink one, too, although a third color of any type would be okay, I think. These shirts look sweet on their own or layered under other tops, so they’ll be interesting to play with.

And that’s all (for now). ^^~*

Some fun stuff that arrived recently~

First pic – cut & sew shirt by Puff & Cool, in a foil printed black and red fabric. It’s basic but cool. I like the little tag on the front hem; it’s a small but neat detail. This will probably be primarily for Vincynt.

Second pic – a very old nostalgic sweater design by +d. It has a cow skull on it because… why not? The zippers on the sleeves give it extra oomph. I think I might put it on Joce first, again because why not.

Third pic – “chef pants” by +d, in the “great tartan checks” color. Adding to my collection of +d pants in this style! The fabric is hard to resist. <3

Fourth pic – gray “knit” sweater by Yucca. They’ve done a few different styles in this same fabric. Since it’s the SD version, it’ll probably go to V. (Although maybe Joce would look cute in it, too?)

Fifth pic – adorableshort bloomers by MILKDOLL, in white. There’s something about the super gathered + wrinkled nature of the fabric that is very appealing. The white will be the most versatile, but I’d love to collect them in more colors!

Sixth pic – dark brown straw hat by Mode Etlan. I liked the light brown one I picked up a while back so much that I thought it’d be useful to have in a darker color, too. As always, their hats are just marvelously made.

Seventh pic – and another beret by +d, this time in greige. The construction is a little different (I mean, as far as berets can be different) than the other mustard yellow one I have (no reinforced stitching, this one has a stalk/loop on the top), but they’re both still fantastic. I was surprised (and happy!) that it included the original packaging; DollyTeria doesn’t always show off that info in their listing pics. It’d probably make it easier to identify things if they did…

Eighth pic – a bolo tie in purple by Fuga Lupinus…

Ninth pic – and one in black as well! More candy-colored goodness for my collection. Sometime I need to put all of my dolls in outfits utilizing the bolo ties at once, for funsies.

Back to work on other photos~
