♥Review: TaobaoSpree Haul! Part 2 → Boyish Style♥

 
Good evening, everybunny! c: Actually evenings are getting shorter now, it's nice that it's staying light.^^ Maybe you remember making a Taobao review last month? If not or you're new (in which case welcome! ; u; ♥♥) you can see the shopping service review & review of the feminine clothes I bought here!♥ Instead of going over all of the shopping service and order details again, today I'll just review the clothes.^^♪
 
♥What I bought♥ 

Last time was girly clothes, this time is boyish clothes!^^♥ 

 
I had my eye on this seifuku for quite a while! I was really happy to buy it. c: The collar and cuffs are made of a more silky/satin fabric than the main blouse, but it's not an ugly sort of shiny luckily.^^


 Sadly when I bought the top, the navy shorts were sold out! ; -; So I rescued the situation by getting this onepiece.^^ The back is shirred, and it has front and back pockets.♪ I don't think I'd ever wear it like it's meant to be worn haha. ;; It's quite baggy on me.

 
There are gold coloured buttons down the front.♪

 
The starry piano pattern is really cute!

 
You can just about see the back pocket.^^ It's not as big as the front pockets but it's still a decent size.♪

 
The bow for the seifuku was sold seperately, I'm not sure why, but it's very cute!^^ It also droops in a cute way. c:

 
I thought these socks would be cute with ouji coords! Though I haven't got one yet that they match really well. ;; They were really cheap though.^^ Hopefully my legs can get thinner soon so they fit better too. ;;

 
I bought these socks to match my navy seifuku.♥ I thought the musical notes would look really cute with the piano keys.♪

 
This was actually bought for me by my parents as a Christmas present!^^ It's made from a cosy fabric that's pretty thick, so it's great for colder days.♥

 
The pattern is really pretty!♥ I love the mix of browns and blue.^^

 
It also came with a simple tie that's made from a similar material to the shirt. c:

 
These were also from my parents!♥ They're so so cute. ; u; These are made of a super cute tweed fabric and are lined too! The braces are elastic, with faux leather ends.

 
Here's a closeup of the fabric and button!^^

 
♥Outfits!♥

I've also included an extra secret outfit that's maybe not so secret ww.. 

 
♥Rundown♥

Seifuku, Socks → Taobao
Wing hair clips → Cute Can Kill
Shoes → eBay

A simple outfit, but it's really comfy!♥ Sadly, the seifuku (both the top and onepiece) are preeetty big on me. ; u; But in a way, the baggyness is cute? ;; Even though it's pretty baggy, it's still comfy! Sadly the bow goes a little wonky at times so I had to rearrange it. I'd like more boyish seifuku though!


 Closeups.♪ I love how big the front pockets are.♥ I can fit my phone and purse in them.^^

 


 
♥Rundown♥

Top, Shorts, Boots → Taobao
Jacket → Primark
Glasses → eBay
Bear ears → Bodyline

I love love love this outfit! /)///v////)♥♥ It's really comfy and cosy, and cute for the winter. ; u; The jacket is actually my sister's which is why it's too big, but I think having it a bit bigger suits the outfit?♪ The top fits absolutely perfectly!♥ Sadly the shorts are just a little too big and would sit awkwardly if the braces weren't holding them up nicely.^^ When I got these pieces for Christmas, I decided I really liked wearing earthy tones.^^♥

 
The pockets are nice and big too, and they can fit my iPhone nicely, to give you an idea of the size. c:

 
Closeup. c: Sorry for the bright light though. ;; It was really sunny when I was taking these! ;; I love the boots because they make my legs look longer haha... TTvTT;; I've actually ordered some more over the knee boots, but in beige ww.♪

 
 The shirt has a nice amount of ruffles, so it's cute but not too over the top.^^ I'm glad the braces match the shirt pretty well too. c: ♥

 These selcas were taken back when my hair was still bleachy.^^; And when my hair had more layers. ;; The last time I got it cut, the guy didn't put quite enough layers so when I get it cut next week I'm going to make sure to ask for lots of nice fluffy layers! >u <♥

 

♥Bonus Outfit!♥

Josh bought me this ouji set for Christmas, so I think it still counts in this review because it's from Taobao ww. ; u;

 
♥Rundown♥

Beret, Waistcoat, Knickerbockers → Taobao (Infanta)
Blouse, Shoes → Bodyline
Bag → Angelic Pretty
Socks, other accessories → offbrand

Qv Q♥ Ouji!♥ I love wearing this style, but sadly I don't come across many ouji things that I like. :c I really fell in love with this set though!♥♥ And I was really happy it was in navy, too.^^♥ I also love jabots, so I'm also really happy that this set and my blouse go together. ; u;♥ The knickerbockers kept falling down, so I had to grab some braces and wear them underneath the waistcoat ww!;; The beret is also quite big, so I clipped it on with mini bows and hairpins.



 
The circus print is really cute! ; u;♥ The little rosette pin was originally on the beret, but it didn't really work so I attached it to the waistcoat. ^^♪

 

Thank you so very much for reading!♥ I hope you enjoyed my boystyle outfits! c: ♪ Later this week I'll be posting another sponsor review (a new sponsor of mine♥) and I hope you'll look forward to some reviews this weekend, including a review of another new sponsor!♥
By the way, I have a like page on facebook now.^^ I made it for my outfits, blog updates and sponsor promotions.♥ You can find it here.♪
Have a supersweet day and a dreamy night everybunny.♥

♥Ouji Time!♥

  Hello everybunny!♥ Good evening! I hope your week has had a lovely start.♥ I've been quite unwell again over the past couple days, but I'm really trying to do my best to stay positive and peachy. c:
Today I'm bringing you a quick post about my ouji style outfits.♪ If you haven't heard of it before, it's like a boyish version of lolita fashion. The more "man" version is known as aristocrat and tends to use formal trousers and as you'd imagine "aristocratic" aesthetics, whereas ouji (or kodona as it's sometimes known) uses knickerbockers, and has a younger aesthetic.♥ Knickerbockers are puffy, long, tailored shorts which usually have cuffs at the bottom, they're not bloomers. I'm not an expert though! So please forgive me if my knowledge/style isn't perfect. I've really tried to do my research though. c:
I wanted to try ouji a while ago, because I felt that lolita didn't suit me so much. ;; A lot of the dresses are too big for me, and even my salopettes have a lot of safety pins in.. ; -; But I was really happy that I tried it! I feel like it might even suit me more than lolita? Anyway, time for outfit!♪
 
 A few weeks ago, Bodyline released some decent looking knickerbockers, so I had to snap them up! This outfit makes me feel a little like the White Rabbit with the glasses! I'd love to create a more White Rabbit themed coord in the future. ♥

 
♥Rundown♥
Blouse & Jabot, Knickerbockers, Waistcoat → Bodyline
OTKs → Taobao
Creepers, Spectacles, Hat, Pocketwatch Necklace, Braces → Offbrand

The only problem with this outfit was the size of the knickerbockers and blouse! The knickerbockers kept falling down and the blouse is a bit baggy haha... OTL So I used my braces to hold them up!♪ Other than the fit, they're perfect. I really love this outfit, and I feel so comfortable wearing it. ; u; 

 
I wasn't sure which OTKs worked better. In the end, I went for the musical notes.♪

 
 Closeup!♥ I feel very lucky to have 0 chest. ; v; I was considering getting a binder, but I think I'm okay for the moment? I might invest in one soon, but for the moment I think I'm flat enough to do without.^^;

 
In my Bodyline order, I got a mini hat too.^^ I'm not sure if I prefer that or the cat-ear bowler hat, but both are cute head accessories, I think!

 
Makeup!♪ 
I went for 0 eye makeup, to see if it would make a more boyish look. I didn't wear any blush either. ; v; It was very strange! But I think I like it. I'd like to try this makeup style for my boy outfits from now on. c:

 
On another note, for a while I've been wanting a septum piercing but I was so worried it would be too painful or look silly on me, so I got fake piercings to experiment with. I really like them! Though I think I'm too chicken to commit to real piercings right now. ;;
   
Thank you so much for reading!♥ I hope you enjoyed seeing my ouji coord. c: I really really want to get better at this style, I love it so much. ♪ I feel like it suits me a lot more than lolita did. ; u;'' I got a long sleeve blouse when I ordered these things so that might work better with my lolita things than short sleeve blouses. I'm going to try that next weekend.^^ I hope you look forward to future posts. ♥
Have a supersweet day and a dreamy night everybunny.♥
