Sparkle's Bizarre Adventures

On Wednesday I went out to eat with a couple friends, one of whom is a huge JoJo's Bizarre Adventures fan.  I'd told her about this pop-up shop so we ate at a restaurant nearby and then went to see the little pop-up!

I'll be honest: I know nothing about JoJo's Bizarre Adventures!!  But they had this cool setup for photos.  We spent quite a bit of time looking up JoJo poses and taking photos.  I only did this one, which is Killer Queen if I recall correctly!

 
The restaurant we went to is called 荷蘭小鬆餅/Poffertjes and serves both savory and sweet pancakes!  They were out of the chickpeas one AGAIN so I got the fried fish savory pancake.
$295

They've got regular brunch and pasta dishes as well.  But of course we needed to try the specialty!

I also treated myself to a honey cinnamon latte! It was really nice~
$150

For dessert the three of us split one walnut salted butter poffertjes.  The salted butter walnut ice cream was so nice!  Very creamy.  The pancakes were also delicious!

It was a wonderful little afternoon outing!  I had a fun time.  Then I came home and streamed and finally got to see the Monster Hunter Wilds Blossomdance Festival!

KC, JSK: Handmade by me
Underskirt: Forest Song
Shoes: Sheep Puff
   

I'm actually considering tossing/donating several of the handmade dresses I have because they've just got problems with them that I'm not satisfied with.... maybe I'll compile them together into a post and list the pros and cons to help me make a decision on which to keep and which to toss.

I love the canopy of the canteen area!

How do you decide what to declutter from your wardrobe?  I've recently tossed some clothes that are beyond repair or that I just haven't worn in years, but it's really quite difficult.  Since I plan to buy more clothes in Japan later this year, I do need to curate my closet, I think.

      I've not been watching so much anime recently myself... not sure what to invest my time in!

  2. JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOJOOOOOOO! I really need to catch up in that series. I made it to the 4th part and struggled even though that's one of the more popular ones Dx It would definitely be a good series to try! The anime does a pretty good job. Maybe I should try to watch part 4 instead of reading oh well lol
    The food places you go to are always amazing looking.
    I really love that dress on you.
    Omggggg your Monster Hunter pics!!!! Ughhhh I wanna play but I have nothing to play it on lol I'll just enjoy it through you!
    When it comes to getting rid of stuff, I see what I haven't worn in a while and just weigh my feelings on them. If I could care less, out they go. If I know that I still love them and look forward to wearing them again then I keep for a bit more time. Otherwise it's what looks old, broken and worn that gets tossed. A lot of my stuff now is gal brand so I usually look to sell those when I no longer love it lol

      I heard can start from part 3 directly 😹 But I always get lazy to start new series if they're already several parts long!
      Thank you! I was considering decluttering this dress due to the skirt shape >_< though it's actually decent as a casual dress and I love the print... I made it ages ago and had to fudge the straps a bit as I made them too long, so it's scuffed up close!
      Monster Hunter Wilds has been great so far!!! I hope you can get a console or PC to run it eventually~

      There are some pieces I love, but don't look forward to wearing :x Like the bunny tea time dress... I love the print, but I hate that I messed up the construction and it's nigh impossible to get off once on because the back doesn't stretch enough. I should have put a side zip in it!!! Not sure I'd feel good selling handmade things with such flaws to other people 😿So I'd recycle it....
      I'll have to do a dedicated day to go through my handmade goods. Thanks for your advice!
