The "OMG! I've bought too much in Japan" post

After the post with the omiyage and the fabrics, I'll show you now why we had slight problems closing our bags. But really only slight problems ^_^

No kidding on the lots of stuff! I love the skirts and dresses! :0

[karu_chan]

Thank you ^^
Hopefully you have the time to go shopping too.

[lovespiral]

shopping is definitely one of those planned activities :333333333

I like your purchases! You did buy a lot of stuff, did you arrive with an empty suitcase? Lol.

My favorites are the polka dot dress, the navy trimmed with white skirt [the design is great], and the white lace trimmed top. A very nice collection!

I had no time to shop for clothes on earlier trips. Though last time I did, and did buy a few things. Japan is one country where being small is not a disadvantage when looking for clothes!

Thank you ^_^
I had 15.9 kg on arrival and 21.5 kg when I left (23 kg were allowed).
I think most omiyage went into the cabin baggage, but most likely some of my dirty clothes went into Carsten's bag ^^;;;

All the skirts have just the right length for me in Japan.
Dress are still a bit complicated (just as they are here, as most cuts are for B-C cups, which I am most definitely not _._ )

I imagine that in the US it's even more difficult to find clothes in petit sizes than it is over here. At least, that's the impression I get from some TV news and people growing bigger (in both senses).

Ah, always nice to have a guy along who can take some of your stuff!

It is difficult to find petite sizes here, and the styles are very often blah. This why I have always sewn most of my clothes, especially office suits and/or dresses. With designer patterns you can be elegant at low cost. It is cexpensive to have alterations made, one might as well make the outfit from scratch so it will fit properly.

Du hast echt guten Geschmack. Sehr hübsche Klamotten. :)

oooh~
Lots of stuff :D

I didn't know you were into Lolita!!! :D

Ooooh, the shirt is pretty up close ^^ Thanks so much for the photo!

You're welcome @t-shirt

The thing wit Lolita is, that some things are just HARD to pull off, once you are older than 19 AND your bodytype is very feminine (say: BOOBS!)
A few of the Bodyline dresses work (and maybe some from Innocent World too - though that would require me to win the lottery _._ )

I love lacey, frilly things *g*

Re: <3

[gensou_alice]

AH yes, having a chest is generally a problem in Lolita XD
I love frilly things too~~

I love Innocent World, and my favorite brand is probably MMM, but the with with some Bodyline dresses is that you can style them a different way and use it casually/non-lolita-y... which I like XD

We have so much in common~ *flails a little*

Re: <3

[karu_chan]

I should probably find some stlye, where a chest is great *g* _._

MMM is available on CDJapan too, isn't it?
But it's sooooooo expensive ^^;;;

That @casual for Bodyline *.*
Of course you still stand out a bit, if you are wearing those dresses in public (esp. here in Germany, where all women who aren't wearing jeans stand out _._ )
