Dinner with the Family!

On Tuesday I met up with my cousin and uncle for dinner!  I got to coordinate this dress with the blue blouse.  I really nice how it looks! It brings out the blue stripes in the print.

Fun with Friends Pt. 7

On February 1st we all met up at Syntrend again!  Different group this time 😹

KC, JSK: Innocent World
Rings: BABY THE STARS SHINE BRIGHT
Earrings: Arin_Honeymignon
Shoes: Sheep Puff 

I guess it's not very visible in the photo, but my tights had rhinestones on them!  I bought one white pair and one nude pair.  I have to stretch them a lot because I'm taller than average, but I really like the effect!  Unfortunately I get the feeling they will tear easily due to how thin they have to be to pull off the effect, so I need to be careful as my foot shape/body shape already causes regular tights and socks to tear after 1-3 wears.

Coordinate Reviews

 Since one of my goals for the year was to coordinate my main pieces in more varying ways, I decided to put together a few collages of dresses to see how I have been coordinating them.

It was a lot of scrolling through my phone camera!  I just put together the most recent four photos of each dress that I could find.  I don't always take coordinate photos though, so there's some missing.


Blouse: Blue or white
Socks: White
Shoes: Blue or white (but the white ones have since been tossed)
 
I really like how this looks with the blue blouse and shoes,though I think white blouse and blue shoes is good, too.  I'm not sure if this would look good with black at all?  The telephones in the print are a bit darker, but I'm afraid black would be too heavy.
 
I think a lavender blouse would also look nice!  I should have a short-sleeve lavender blouse I believe... unless that's the one I lost in Japan years ago 🙀  Pink shoes should also work due to the pink ribbons in the print... I'll have to try a white blouse and pink shoes or pink blouse and pink shoes! 


Blouse: Teal, blue, pink
Socks: White, blue
Shoes: Pink, blue
I actually bought a pair of yellow shoes for this dress but had to return them due to wrong size (that's a whole other drama story that's not resolved yet) and the proper size is not in stock yet
 
The blue blouse also allows me to remove the yoke piece on this dress!  The teal and pink blouses are a bit transparent, so I have to keep the yoke in place. I think I could also coordinate this with a while blouse as that would match the underskirt!
 I have a short-sleeve white blouse with blue ribbon detail that would work well.  The long-sleeve white blouse would also work, I think! 

Taipei Game Show 2026 + Monster Hunter Wilds Taiwan Championship

 On the 31st I got up bright and early to meet my teammate Exo for the Monster Hunter Wilds Taiwan Championship!  I'll be honest - the organizers were not very well-organized and we received information bit by bit rather than all at once.  We didn't even know we had to check-in between 8-10AM until a few days before the event.

In addition, they doxxed our emails to the whole email list by using CC instead of BCC when sending out the initial notification.  This also led to multiple people responding to the incorrect person when confirming their participation.  

I did call the organizers to express displeasure at the doxxing, and they sent an email claiming there'd been a "problem with BCC" which sounds like a lie to me, to be honest.  If the email system was down, they would not have been able to send the email in the first place.  If regular emailing was available but BCC was not, they should have sent each email individually rather than doxxing everybody's emails (and legal names, if they had their real name on their profile. Fortunately I used my creator email so mine only said "Sparklewolfie")

Despite that fiasco, the day of the event went pretty smoothly.  We checked it around 9:30 and got a pass to go to 5F to queue for our group number.
