As you may have noticed if you follow my tumblr, I've fallen head over heels in love with Dolly Kei. In February I made a trip to Tokyo and visited the Grimoire shop. Although it's on the expensive side for vintage clothing, I love their shop concept and the way they've made the style popular, so I don't mind to support them by buying some overpriced things (which are lovely either way).
Of course I had to have the Verum tights which you've already seeen, but I bought a belt & skirt as well as a dress.
The skirt and belt I bought (with Meruco <3)
The dress. My mom says it could be from the 20's but I'm more inclined to think hippie-70's... Either way it's been worn a lot but I love it.
Bit hard to see but the hat has a ribbon on the side.
If you think: 'Hey, the tip of that lock of hair is suspiciously pink', then you're right. I dip-dyed my hair again, this time by myself, but to be honest it turned out a LOT darker and brighter than I had planned. It looks cool and I've gotten lots of compliments already, so I don't really mind, but I do have to get used to it. It's just so bright! More suited for rocker-style than for dolly-kei... I hope it will soon fade to the pastel pink I had in mind. Here's a picture of me today to show you :)

Oh my gosh, that dress is so pretty! It definitely has a 20's feel with the cut but the color and embellishments also scream hippy to me. Very cool either way!
