Another simple outfit that you can get all at the same store for pretty cheap. I think this would be super comfortable and you get 10% off with the promocode 'mintyfrills'!
Hope you like it!

How to be Kawaii: Where to buy kawaii clothes
I recently held a lecture about 'How to be Kawaii' and for people who where there and other people here are some links to shops for brands and places to buy second hand along with two cheap full outfits and where to get those items! I will post more detailed information later but for now explore these on your own!
here are some japanese brands that sell kawaii clothes, a bit expensive but check them out!
if you like the brands above you can find them cheaper by looking for them second hand!
Facebook Groups:
Japanese auctions:
there are many more shopping services, these are the two I have used many times in the past but look around if there are options that fit you better! (I will write more about this later)
(Remember to change the currency to yen for cheaper prices!)
Bodyline:
Ebay: socks
I will post more help on how to buy cute clothes in the future, here's just a link dump from things I talked about in my lecture!

Vivian Tears: Afternoon Trend
Taobao brand Vivian Tears have a new dress called Afternoon Trend, I think its pretty cute as a casual dress. The print has a vintage feel that I think goes really well with the Mint colorway. The cuts remind me of the ones for Angelic Pretty's upcoming Baked Sweets Parade but the print is different enough that I don't feel its copying. The cuts work pretty well but I really wished it was better aligned at the bottom, the print just kinda cuts off in the middle of it, it just looks sloppy. I still think its cute, its just such a thing that could of been fixed easily.
The dress is still cute and after all it is cheaper than an AP dress would be too. The little teapots are really sweet and they seem to have nice lace too. The style of the print is pretty different, I like it! I think this brand has potential and I look forward to seeing more from them.

To Alice: Ice Doll
To Alice has released a dress called Ice Doll and I think that it is super cute! I seldom really like taobao print dresses but this one has what I like about Angelic Pretty but without being a copy in any way. Its like the lovechild of Toy Parade and Sugar Dream Dome. The cuts are nice, I don't like the overlay but its removable so it really doesn't matter much to me that its there. The fluffy collar is also removable. Even though the OP is cute I would go for the jsk for versatility. If you are new OP's can be great though because you have the whole outfit and don't have to think about getting a matching blouse.
I like the light colorway a lot more, I generally dislike really dark colorways of this type of light print. The print is really sweet, toys in a ice theme dress is a great idea. And I love that it has a rocking horse (big fan of those). The print is not too messy and had a good color balance. Its really nice that they have a really cute bottom lace but I feel like some more detailing at the bottom would of improved it, its a bit to simple with the design of the rest of the dress. All in all I think its really worth the price tag and a good option if buying Angelic Pretty feels a bit too expensive. I might just get it myself at some point!

Hawberry: My Biscuit Can't Possibly Be This Sweet!
Taobao brand Hawberry has a new series 'My Biscuit Can't Possibly Be This Sweet!' and I think it is really cute. I often find things that bother me in taobao brands prints but this one is just so sweet. The colors are soft and the boarder and the rest of the print works well together. I love that more and more brands from outside of Japan are stepping up their game. And with the lower pricetag I think this is really worth it! The colorways are pretty, the lavender is my favorite since it seems to have a really nice shade. The OP is cute but I always prefer jsk's because of the more options with coordinating. They are simple cuts but work well with the print. I want to try and get it later once my economy gets sorted out.
I hadn't even seen this brand before to be honest but its definitely on my radar now!
