I definitely wasn't planning on doing any orders for *at least* the rest of July, but since Autumn stock is starting to roll out and some of the sales are just getting insane, I decided to just buy these two things before the listings were gone! There was an email coupon for an extra 40% off even sale prices, so I limited myself to browsing only the stock that was already at least 50% off. As a result, I was able to get an outer and a pair of shoes for about 75% off! Of course, that's cancelled out by the Tenso shipping which ended up being more than the cost of the items, but even then, it came out to about 50% off so not bad :)
Clear pearl sandals in pink (141-9614-0)
クリアパールサンダル
I saw these shoes at the stores a lot, but I
didn't even try them on. I really wasn't planning on buying them because
I don't like the clear/plastic on the front strap, but when I saw what
price I could get it for online now...I didn't feel like I could pass it
up. Well, that, and I needed something else to go in my cart with the
denim jacket (below) so I could meet the minimum to use the 40% off, and there
wasn't much that I wanted that was already 50%+ off that I didn't
already get lol. White was sold out so my only choices were pink and
blue. I considered getting blue for awhile because I do already have 2
pairs of pink shoes from Liz Lisa (and 1 from Tralala) that are a
similar shade, but when I thought about my wardrobe, I just didn't have
very many things to wear with the blue shoes and a lot of things to wear
with the pink lol. But just now I realized that the blue might have
been nice with a lot of the white I bought recently, but oh well lol,
pink works with those as well.

I feel like the theming for this shoe is a little confusing lol. The front strap has the little metallic seashells and the back plastic has "Cotton Candy" stitched into it. There are also half pearls along the base of the sole (? idk what that area is called lol) which are a nice little touch. And tbh, even if one or two fell off, it wouldn't matter too much, haha. I haven't worn them too much besides the (approx.) hour while I was shooting these photos, but they seem stable...although with extended wear I'm sure my feet wouldn't be 100% happy. The front strap fits really well on my foot, and the ankle strap adds extra security as well. In the end, although I don't think I would have been
unhappy with blue, I'm glad I got pink just based on what else is in my wardrobe.
Sailor puff short sleeve denim jacket in indigo (141-7012-0)
セーラーパフＧジャン
As with the clear pearl sandals, I saw this little short sleeve denim jacket in a lot of the stores,
but didn't even want to try it on and didn't really consider buying it
for some reason. I do like the sailor collar + lace detail that I
probably wouldn't be able to find on any American denim, but something
was making me turn away from it?? I'm so annoying (to myself) sometimes I
swear. But it doesn't matter very much because I got a pretty good deal
on it just now anyway. They restocked it in all the color options, and I
knew I didn't want white (I have a lot of other white outers and too
much white clothes), but I had a hard time deciding between the blue and
indigo.
I was partial to the the lighter (blue) denim because I thought it would
go better with my wardrobe, but I saw the indigo featured much more on
the shop staff (although this piece in general wasn't featured very much
at all, especially in comparison to its longer sleeve counterpart), and
my mother likes darker denim, so in the end, I decided to go with the
indigo.

lots of pictures with this OP lol wtf
This jacket is a little boxier in the shoulder area and wider in the body than I would like which makes it less flattering than what I would prefer and limits what I would wear it with (personally). I think this is what I was afraid of earlier. That being said, I still like it. The material is a little lighter (weight) than I anticipated, and that's great for me. I think for the price, it was a really good deal. I'm happy with the indigo color, especially how it stands out against white and my lighter color items. I don't know how much I'll end up using it, but I love the sailor collar and short sleeves.
I probably would've been happy with ending my Liz Lisa (spring/)summer 2014 purchasing after all the items I got during my
Japan trip, but this outer and pair of shoes are a nice final addition before autumn 2014!
As a small reminder (and I'm sure those of you who
actually read my posts are tired of reading these blurbs, but I am
constantly getting blamed for not warning people of this, so here I go again)
- I am extremely uncomfortable with my personal photos being used for
the profit of others especially without a simple source link. In
general, I would prefer for my photos not to be reposted without my
permission at all, but if you feel the extreme need to do so, I simply
ask that you just include a simple link back to my original post.
Regardless of whether I watermark every single photo, I do still own the
copyright to these pictures and you finding them on Google Image does
not mean I do not own them anymore?? (There has been some confusion on
that front apparently. And to be clear, Google does even warn you when
you click on a photo that the image may be subject to copyright, and
Google does not sever the photos from their original pages, so it's easy
to find their source if you choose.) I
do not blog and post these photos so that others can sell their
products that are not associated with me in the slightest. And the
response I get when I just ask for my photos to be sourced really
discourages me from sharing and continuing to blog. I mean this
in the least aggressive way possible, but I'm not just going to throw 80
smiley emojis in this to "soften the tone" because I am serious,
and I honestly feel like you should be able to read a paragraph like
this without emoticons and not be offended by its message.
