Tokyo Kawaii Life order 61 - Liz Lisa message embroidery cross pumps & ribbon line momonga cardigan

It's almost never economically beneficial to just randomly browse a web shop. I made this small order because I had my eye on these two items earlier but they had sold out while I was still thinking about it. With a second opportunity, I thought it wouldn't hurt to get them, but because of the size of the shoe box, I ended up not qualifying for small package size mail despite being under weight.

I had tried these on during my Summer 2017 trip as part of a communication misunderstanding thanks to my terrible Japanese, but since the 3-strap pumps were a much, much larger priority for me at the time, I never went back to them. I was surprised to see them restocked when I was browsing TKL, and although there was no particular reason to it, I decided to get them. I always find pink shoes useful and although these are quite seasonal due to the pom poms, I thought the color would be nice to have in my wardrobe.

I love how easy momonga cardigans are to throw on, but both of ones I own in this kind of style are white/off white (as is the case with the majority of my cardigans). I really wanted to try something a little different and I loved the type of pink that this particular piece appeared to be (in the stock photos anyway). In person, the pink is a lot deeper than I anticipated. I'll still find a few uses for it but not as many as I anticipated.

I had an intended purpose for the shoes but no longer, so this was a wholly unnecessary order. As always, I do enjoy adding variety to my wardrobe but I probably could have convinced myself away from buying these items if I thought more about it and had known about the shipping cost. It's always interesting to see all the different types of shades that Liz Lisa calls "pink".
