welcome back to paradise! on saturday, i went to lucky girl market in dc! lucky girl market does thrift event pop-ups in the DMV area and in philadelphia, if i remember correctly.
i went with my one of my roommates and one of my friends! we also had to pick up some pottery that day so we also went ahead and did that too :) my roommate and i kind of arrived late but THANKFULLY my friend had gotten there before us and was able to secure us a spot at the front, so i went in 3-ish minutes after i got there (sorry to everyone who was before us oooopsss....).
this was my coord! i was unsure if i wanted to do an agejo coord or go for a more bimbocore vibe, so my make and hair were gal and my outfit was 2000s hyperfem!
top: ross (iirc)bottoms: 2B bebe
shoes: wedges i thrifted
accessories: amazon
necklace: playboy (not sure if its authentic playboy cause i didn't ask but if it's a knockoff, it doesn't look like a bad one and it was for a great price so i won!)
here is what i got:
brand: toi et moi
i saw this cardigan and practically fell in love! it definitely reminded me of tsuyome coords/even onee gal coords (though i'm not super versed in onee if we're being completely fr LOL)!
brand: moda international
for cover ups and just about anything velour and or terry cloth, i usually go for juicy couture only, buuuut the juicy one's i've seen for resale are at MUCH WORSE PRICES so i was like nevermind lemme just get this one since i can actually try it out and it won't be like, knee length or something LOL!
brand: liz lisa
the liz lisa top was the one i was most gagged about, since it was only $25. i damn near jumped for JOY since this was also the first vendor that i had went to! the toi et moi cardigan was $30 and the moda international cover up was $28.
i really like going to thrift markets but it can only be a once-in-a-while thing. since its basically depop IRL, you gotta prepare that mind to not spend too much, and your wallet for when you eventually do LOL.

i also finally had some packages come in! it was vinted pieces and *drumroll please* the newest drop from hello angel girl since their site reopened and was 60% off! so instead of paying $152 and $40 for the gal's best friend yukata and the gal* necklace, i only paid $60 YASSS!! that was before fees and shipping and all that other good stuff, but i was probably not gonna get a deal like that again (and i have some big girl job money left to spend!), so i went ahead and bought it.
compared to their other gal stuff, i definitely think this drop has been a good one! i wasn't a major fan of their hime set release (mainly the dress), though i did love the shoes! the dress is basically a ma*rs dupe, and if i'm being completely honest, i kinda just wanted the dress.
i'm usually a medium top and large bottom, but i sized up according to their size chart. everything fit pretty well... except the bust. UGH. i can't hag on them because they DID say it would be looser to accommodate the obi and jacket, but i lowkey did just want the dress to wear, not gonna lie... and it wasn't just loose in a slightly loose way, but in a TWO BIG GAPING HOLES WAY. don't get me wrong, i love the yukata and i definitely do want to wear it as a set, BUT! you can't just dangle a ma*rs dupe dress in front of a gal and NOT expect her to just want the dress 😭. i'm gonna see if i can get it altered in any way when i go home, since there's a tailor that did my prom dress near my home! cause i'll be DAYUMED if i can't wear the dress by itself, it's way too pretty. and as someone who doesn't fit typical asian size in the slightest, having anything that resembles brand in my size is so needed, so that's why i was super hyped about buying the set! i kinda wish they released the dress on its own since i might have just gotten that. but the yukata itself is so gorg, it just took me too long to figure out how to put it on OOPS.
here's me with the full set on!
hopefully there's a festival i can wear this to! there's one coming to DC around the time i go back so maybe i'll wear it there if i go! it IS the weekend before school though so i'll see...
all my love,
chele ♡
