EATME vest bustier dress & garter feather knit top

Fukubukuro content is finally done and now we're back to regular shopping! I actually thought that I would be purchasing sale items during January but instead I've been very much won over by spring 2022 full price items 😳

A short, quick unwrapping & try on video posted to YouTube here (will embed when able but link for now) -

EATME vest bustier OP in black

ベストビスチェワンピース

This is a two-piece item with a "vest" that is a completely separate piece from the main dress. The dress is a square neck with long sleeves and the vest is what introduces the collar and emphasizes the waist. The other two colors for this OP included a contrast color for the vest (beige dress with black vest and mix dress with black vest) and I liked them as well but I decided on the black because I liked the monotone look and how it looks a little like a trench coat.

I definitely like this dress the best with the vest tied in the back but paired with the harness belt comes in a very, very close second. In general, I like most things that can properly emphasize my waist and because the vest is self-tie, it can be tightened how I want and sits at the right spot.

EATME garter feather knit top in black

ガーターフェザーニットTOP

I originally wanted this top in pink (with contrasting black lace and black garter details) and almost pre-ordered it but didn't anticipate it being so popular! It sold so quickly and I was convinced I missed out on my chance. Then, because I browse the webshop daily, I noticed this top re-stocked, just one, in black. I scooped it because I didn't want to miss my chance!

While my first choice for this top was pink, I do think the black is likely a lot more versatile and I had so many choices for bottoms to pair it with for this post. I also just find it easy to wear in general and it seems to be a good weight for the current weather. It's a little stylish but not too fussy or fancy, and a great purchase. 

I have to admit I had so much fun doing the last few posts and trying all the different coordinates that it helped remind me why I enjoy blogging - despite engagement not really matching my enthusiasm. Truthfully, I know I'd probably have a better chance if I just invested in IG primarily instead of Blogger as my primary social media, but I personally love a blog post lol. I know - I'm old, but I like being able to go into detail and not worry as much about likes on a single post and aesthetic grids and I don't know. Maybe also because I just don't feel like I'm good at IG anymore. 

If you're here and reading this - thank you!
