☆ fotd: seifuku selfies ☆



yesterday i played around in my seifuku because i wanted to feel hella cute. so i did some quick kawaii style makeup and took some pictures. here are some of them, i really like how they turned out!

waifu status achieved ( ՞ٹ՞)



excuse the badly glued on eyelashes ahaha. you can't tell unless i'm looking down ok. ignoreitpls

• WELCOS MERIT killing me zombie bb cream
• DAISO false eyelashes in #11
• L'OREAL telescopic shocking extensions mascara
• ESSENCE waterproof liquid eyeliner
• ETUDE HOUSE tear drop liner in pearl white
• MAC cremesheen lipstick in creme cup
• SENNA COSMETICS blush in cupcake 


i have a found a solution to the nipple problem. just add a cardigan and no more nipple LOL but that does mean sweaty armpits during hot weather ⊙﹏⊙


(・᷄ὢ・᷅) next on my wishlist is some sort of tripod or a timer or something so i don't have to do these selfies all the time. i don't have anyone to take my picture so i need some help! but anyways i love these photos, it's been a while since i've felt so cute and done up!! i might take this outfit with me to comic con just for a casual back up option if i don't really want a full costume but don't want to dress casual either. i wanna get more colors and styles too, depending on how much of the goal weight i've dropped by october. this outfit is my inspiration to get more fit ୧། ☉ ౪ ☉ །୨ seifukus for lyfeeeee 

edit// i wanted to share with you this drawing someone made based off of these photos!! it's so amazing ahhhh!!! i might make it part of my header or something. ty studio sienna <3



 see you next post!

☆ ebay seifuku (japanese school uniform) review ☆



hello! i'm here today with a review of the seifuku i ordered off of ebay from the seller cn2014.wenb. i ordered the navy uniform in XL, now normally i'm just an L in american sizes but because i'm very busty and have wide hips i wasn't sure if L would be just enough. asian sizing is notorious for being on the small size so i sized up with fingers crossed!

it was only $10.99 with free shipping, and the shipping took about 3 weeks to get to me in california. that is pretty standard i'd say. it was packaged well (sorry i didn't take a picture of it!) and nothing was damaged.


so the uniform comes with the top, the skirt, and a detachable bow. from first looks i could tell it was of cheap quality... which i expected, beause $10.99 is incredibly cheap for a seifuku!! 


the shirt is really thin and not as baggy as it looked on the model. well, of course it isn't because the model is very thin haha. i'm sure on a smaller person it would be baggy too, or at least a relaxed fit, but on my busty frame it clings to every curve. it looks bad when i don't wear a bra but it looks even worse with a bra! big boob struggles :(


the skirt is also a little see through, but only from a certain lighting. it is pretty short and for me, a little tight. the zipper is made VERY cheaply and you have to be careful with it, because mine snagged and now i think it's a little fucked up so i can't zip up all the way. :(


i like the detachable bow! it's cute and i don't have to use it for just this outfit. 




so what are my overall ratings on this purchase today?


shipping 5/5
quality 3.5/5
price 5/5 

generally i think you get what you pay for. in this case, it was true! the material is just okay, and it does look cute on. if you don't want to break the bank but still want a seifuku, i think this purchase is a good one. size up!!! if you're larger than me though, especially if you have a big booty or a big bust, it might not fit. i would say be careful and keep your measurements in mind. i am pretty happy with my purchase, but i do wish it fit better - but it's not really the clothing's fault lol. i just need to lose a bit of weight!!
