Some pictures I took today - I never have time to do anything for my dolls recently (including buying new clothes ;;;) so I tried to capture their current look.

I did manage to buy these boots for Westley though...he'll finally have his own shoes instead of borrowing the loafers all the time;; I also got confirmation for NYDolpa3 so I'll be going..!!! I'm not planning on getting Irvin and still undecided about Nana, so we'll see as Dolpa gets closer if I'll be purchasing any new dolls then... Otherwise I'm saving up for Kanon, unless Volks releases a new MSD anytime soon *wants to see new MSDs so badly*

My order from VolksUSA came in today. The Soul Drive clothing is PERFECT for Yo-SD. I only bought some tops/outerwear because I was afraid the pants might be a bit small at the waist for them. The t-shirt and sweatshirt have velcro fastenings in the back and the hoodie has a fully functional zipper. I love the quality; the hoodie has tiny embroidered details and a little red 'label' near the pocket that is easy to miss. The price is significantly lower than that of Chibi Dress ($10-$20 per item on VolksUSA and much less than that if you are in Japan) and I am surprised so few owners have bothered to look into it, especially since it is available on the International/USA sites.

I also recieved Westley's optional hands from the Summer Fair event. Some of the seams are a little troubling, and the S-hooks were covered with excess resin, but I was able to remove some of the casting flaws. The color is as gorgeous as ever and hopefully I'll be able to own more sunlight dolls in the future ^3^ The color of the photo is fairly accurate; I would've liked to post a comparison picture of normal 'fresh' skin and sunlight but unfortunately it's already dark...I will post it when I have natural light.

Here are some yukata photos from a while ago that I saved for today. The mask is from my personal collection, I have a red 'oni' mask from a natto giveaway as well but seemed to have misplaced it for the time being *sigh* It was the perfect size for Roro too... Tanabata wasn't much but at least we had hiyashi chuuka for the occasion  °３°） I also bought the Sunlight optional MSD hands on VolksUSA today, along with some Soul Drive clothes for Roro and Creme; the size seems to work well and there's so much variety to choose from so it's really not a bad source for Yo-SD clothing. It may not fit as proportionally as actual Chibi Dress but the quality is certainly very high regardless. 

My mother returned from Japan two days ago...bearing loads of stuff for my dolls XD Most of it was MSD-sized for my girls but she also picked up some Yo-SD sized clothing like this adorable cardigan. I was mainly excited about getting the raincoat though, and we basically rummaged through the suitcases until it was found.

It was oddly appropriate for the last two days since it's been raining buckets, so when the sun came out today I managed to snap a few photos before it started thundering again T3T)~ It's also the most adorable thing ever, the way these clothes are constructed with such detail continues to fascinate me (*゜Д゜*)

Also since VolksUSA is going to be having a Summer Fair and offering Yo-SD and Sunlight parts...I think I'll have to skip on the Dolpa 17 clothes in order to save up for those instead. I really want Westley to have his 'normal' hands, and this is the only opportunity for me to do so since it's unlikely I'll get to go to Tenshi-no-Sato this year. I also want to pick up the Yo-SD praying hands and Blivy might be picking up some eyes and wigs for me in Sumika soon, so funds are pretty tight now orz. I have the White Cat outfit now anyway so missing out on Black Cat won't be too bad.

I dug up a box of old 1/6 doll clothes and found a few items that fit Yo-SD recently. This dress and the red hooded sweatshirt from the previous entry were originally for 1/6 dolls. There are a few more, like a Jenny short onsen yukata that I'd like to try on Roro soon. I like how the photo makes him look uncomfortable and puzzled at the same time XD "Why am I in a dress...?" I'll probably order some Who's That Girl boy clothes at the end of the month with my Dolpa 17 regular items things.

I'll be trying mainly for the Black Cat Cosplay set for MSD and maybe the Cocoa Jumper Set. The new Yo-SD set is cute but I don't think I am a big fan of that style; I would like to get the boots somehow though, those I can picture myself getting...（°ヮ°ｏ） As for WTG things, I'm going to see if any of the Natural Love things fit; the red sweatshirt was from that line and worked well enough so I'm hoping some of the others will too, they're too cute to pass up on! Especially with the lack of clothes from the Chibi Dress line since Volks tends to only release those around Dolpa time..so it's all limited (>_<)

I decided that I will order my sunlight skin boy at the NYC Dolpa, it'll be a shame to pass up on the opportunity since my mother really won't have the time to go all the way to Kyoto for Sato and I'm not ready to hand over $100+ for a shopping service.
