My dear friend, bless her heart, has blossomed into a beautiful Sweet lolita. I'm very proud of how far she's come. That said, I am green to the gills with envy and, for about 10 minutes after she told me about her find, impotent, frustrated rage.

I once found a H. Naoto Honey jsk at a thrift store for 17 dollars :) And I have seen things in the past at thrift stores from brand, it is rare but I cross my fingers every time I go that I might find something again!
