I bought these to liven up my room a couple days ago, 3$ bunch of mixed flowers. Very pretty, about mid week I took them out of the water and hung them upside down. I'll get some more this weekend I think, and try to accumulate a dried flower collection. For some reason, I like dried flowers just as much as live ones. There is something touching about the curled up preservation of them.
In lolita related news, Lolita in Secret's Pet peeve challenge.
1. When a print or item comes up on a secondhand auction site and you've been wanting it forever (or for a day) ... but you get outbid, or just don't have the funds.
2. The omnipresent paranoia of ruining my clothes.
3. Messy photo backgrounds. I will be the first to admit that my room, 9 times out of 10, looks like a hurricane passed through. But if I'm going to take a picture of myself and put it up for people to see, I take the extra 10 minutes to clear out a space for the shot.
4. Pink. Nothing against the colour, but the fact that I look really, really bad in it. Curse my midtone asian skin.
5. Bows. Not regular sized decorative bows, or even OTT head eating ones (I think they are quite cute). But the bows on a JSK or OP that just ruin it. Like, it would look so much better if it weren't for those damn bows that definitely aren't detachable. Sigh.
And there are my personal pet peeves. Most of all of them are avoided by selective shopping and really they are just trivial things.
I do wish I looked better in pink, all things considered
Those are beautiful! D8
ReplyDeleteI should check out the local farmers market they have out here, I always hear about people getting killer deals there.
Those flowers are lovely, I'd love to see how they look dried.
ReplyDelete2 is a major peeve of mine as well. Just can't shake that feeling!
Pretty flowers ^^
ReplyDeleteI like dried flowers too! I actually prefer fake/dried than real because I hate the fleetingness of live flowers. Makes me slightly depressed :/

ReplyDeleteTHIS THIS A MILLION TIMES THIS. I hate stuff like this, ESPECIALLY with Lolita/daily_lolita photos. If you're going to spend 2 hours on a coord and making yourself look absolutely stunning, the best you could do is a damn nice background. I'd take a clean bathroom over a messy room anyday.
