OO Jia Review

I know there are a lot of Lolitas that are against replicas, especially ones done by Oo Jia...but as much as I love buying Brand items, I also understand that a lot of people can't afford the more expensive brands, but Love the prints :D

 Anyways, my first Replica purchase was through the facebook lolita sales & after checking measurements & a lot of debating...I decided to give in & purchase someone's Oo Jia replica of AP's Chess Chocolate in Faded Ivory ^_^

 The sizing isn't perfect, but I couldn't be happier with the print & workmanship ^^  I also really like the faded ivory b/c it looks more like a light lavender/pink than ivory & brown ;)

 I got it a while ago, but I just wore it out for the first time to go see the Nutcracker Ballet:

Then, while checking Oo Jia's latest facebook posts...she posted a new bag design...& I HAD to have it!!! 
Transaction details:
Oct 17: placed order (through email only)
Oct 18: invoiced & paid
Oct 21: shipped out
Nov 13: received package (took about 3 weeks, but totally worth it XD )
 a plain white backpack?
 or something more?
 I couldn't resist getting other colors of wings as well: yellow & mint ^^
And 2 straps ;)  Although...one of the white ones is missing the piece to hook onto the bag...other than that, everything arrived in perfect condition!
Lots of room inside ^_^
BIG HINT!!  
Figured it out? or give up? it's...SAKURA'S BACKPACK FROM CARD CAPTOR SAKURA!! XDD
& that's the main reason I HAD to get it...CCS is my all time fave series, so OF COURSE i recognized it as soon as i saw it ^_^
Here's some reference pics:

& now mine:
Needless to say, i'm SUPER HAPPY WITH MY PURCHASE XDDD
& Now I just might cosplay Sakura one day ^^

    Hi ^^ I've been looking for this for sooo long.
    I took a look at the Oo Jia facebook. How much did it cost you for the bag with the wings that came with it? :)

    Thanks

    Alice ^-^

      Hello ^^ I KNOW! When I saw it I HAD to have it ;)
      So, I had ordered the bag with 2 color wings because I thought you choose one color & then I wanted an additional color...but, I ended up with 3...not sure if that's how it's supposed to be...

      Anyways, my total came out to $45.98 shipped to Hawaii ^^

      I'm hoping she makes them again b/c I really want to get one for my friend who's also a big CCS fan...but I think you can email her & ask ;D

      No problem & hope u get one ^_^ I still haven't used it yet, but it's really sturdy, so I'm sure it's pretty durable ;)

      I'm also finally planning to cosplay Sakura, so I think i'll make that my first time XD

      I'm also wondering if I should ask oojia if I can get a new strap...it's kind of late, but if she can still get them, i'd want one...let me know how it goes ^^
