Season Two - Episode 5: "One Blouse, Three Hats"

"Ship's Log, Stardate 94127.52:

I finally wore the Beyond the End of Time blouse that I ordered from F+F.

It's very adjustable, so I decided to try wearing it a few different ways.  

First, with everything buttoned on, buttoned up, and tied to the chin!

I haven't worn full-on lolita in a while.  

I missed the bobbing skirt part of it, but ouji is easier to get around in.

Shoes: Mojo Moxy

(I'm just using extra long ribbons to tie them)

Skirt: Enchantlic Enchantilly

Blouse, Vest: F+F

Bag: One of the D.I.Y. book boxes

Hat: keep reading...

This one looked alright with hair down as well, 

but it tangles fast that way and I have to find a place to go brush it out.

Each half is carefully looped back through the hat band.

I pinned in place and fluffed loose a few curls.

So, about the hat...

It's just a plain old floppy black hat with the safety rope on it from F21!

I used up the leftover materials from the tricorn and bicorn to trim it.

Speaking of tricorns and bicorns...

This time I wore the blouse with the jabot halves pinned in reverse.

I wanted a bat/cape-like look, and for all the lacing to show.

I felt very Kingdom Hearts-y, haha!

This one is basically a repeat, but with the new blouse, sans jabot.

I tried mixing it up a little bit by re-lacing the blouse this time.

The book is the other of the two I made out of the Hobby Lobby boxes.

I thought Moby Dick would be appropriate at times...

A bit last minute, so I'll include it in next week's report:  I went to a friend's booth at a street fair this weekend!  I got brooches, a necklace, ring, etc. that I'll take some pics of and wear soon.  The brooches are awesome little antique frames in resin with old romantic paintings in them.  

While I was out, I also grabbed a couple of mooks, because I am still mad about Cracker Jacks.  There is something so immensely satisfying about pulling yet another pair of ear muffs or a baby head bag out of a magazine in front of a very confused Mr. J...

Until next time!  Bear signing off!"
