12/30 - Sunday Co*de and Karaoke and gift giving!!!!

 Hi everyone!!! Happy Monday! I hope you are doing well!!! I am trying a new thing where I don't drink Soda, so I am on my third cup of tea!! I wanted to document last night because it was so fun and I had a really cool co*de I posted over on instagram and reddit already!!!

So first, let's start with the co*de!!! I think this is the closest to a hime gyaru look i've done.

Dress + Bloomers: Vina of the Valley

Belt: Datura *

Choker, Headband, and Bow: Claires

Leg Band: MA*RS (?) *

Boots: Dear My Love *

Wristcuffs: Handmade by me!

Wig: Prisila (x2 FX-05, x2 VM-03, x1 J-807, all in LiYe)

Bag: Thrifted from Savers with 3x Lafufu and 2x Labubu

* = Thrifted from Mercari JP

(?) = don't quote me on this it came in a lot

I was suuuper excited to wear this dress out!!! It's originally a babydoll dress but I last minute added in a cinch. I will def be wearing in the original silhouette in the future! I felt like a cupcake!! I also really loved the matching bloomers, I always wear shorts underneath so it was nice this was a matching pair!!

I also *gasp* put on lower lashes today!! I actually thought I threw these out when I was cleaning out my makeup stash, but turns out I just put them in my travel bag. They def are much harder to put on and the lash glue residue was hard for me to remove, so I stopped wearing them. I am definitely going to be wearing them more now that I have solved the lash glue residue thanks to Lush's Ultraplant cleanser!! (Thank u EJ who always points me toward what I need at Lush. Honestly entire Providence Place Store Lush Staff are some of the BEST, all so friendly and know how to help you out).

Usually when I dress up, I go out for karaoke with my friends! We typically go on Wednesdays, but these past 3 weeks we haven't been able to meet up, it was so good to see almost everyone again!! I still have some friends who I haven't seen and hopefully next wednesday I can (because our spot is closed for new years day 💦) I had some gifts to give to EJ, Steve and Jordan, and they also had gifts!!

I got EJ some DVDs, Steve a coat that was a bit too small, and Jordan a giftcard to the bar he is a regular at!! EJ got me coffee cakes (my top gift request), Jordan got me a bloomin onion maker (which had been something I had in my "buy eventually" list!!) and Steve got us all matching shirts!!!! We jokingly call our karaoke group the providence fun committee, so it was so touching Steve made us "providence fun commi-tee" shirts!!!!!!!!!!! And Grace took pictures of us with them all on!! 

Waaaah!!! Friendship!!!!!!! 

I have so many other friends I need to see (we have some members who weren't there last night, and some friends we see once in a blue moon), and still some I have to gift shop for still!!!! Ahhh!!!! But overall, my heart was so full. This year this friend group has really helped me come out of my shell and have been so supportive not only in my gyaru journey but just in general! I'm just so happy!

Ok!! That's all for today! Tonight is another night of bingo, and tomorrow is new years eve, which I've got a code to plan for the new years eve party my family is invited to!! I'm so excited!! 😀
