Innocent World Lucky Pack ^_^

There is a very special time happening for Lolitas everywhere...& that is...FUKUBUKUROU or LUCKY PACKS ^_^

Last year (2011) I managed to get a Metamorphose lucky pack, which was a little over $100 & i got a blouse, skirt & headband ;D  And even though I got some amazing items, I ended up selling the skirt mainly b/c it wasn't a great fit on me :/  

And so...i decided i wouldn't do any Lolita lucky packs this year (2012/2013)...but then...I kept checking the LJ lucky packs thread & I saw that Innocent World started having theirs up for reserve...& that temptation got the better of me & I gave in & got the "cheapest" Happy Pack A, which was still over $300 ;P

I was going to wait until December to purchase it, but i started reading about how one should order early b/c supply is limited...they good stuff will be gone...etc etc...SO, at the end of November, I placed my order...which ended up being the smarter move, since the next week...they took down the reserves saying everything sold O_O

Overall, ordering went pretty smoothly:
Nov 28: placed order online
Dec 5: paid for lucky pack
then, i figured i'd have to wait until Jan for them to start shipping them out...but then...
Dec 26: Lucky pack shipped out XD
Now, everything was going well up to this point, but then...my package got stuck in customs :/
It ended up being a little better than my jetj dress, but I still had to pay the customs fee...
& then the package finally arrived today(Dec 2) ^^

And after coming home & settling down a bit...i quickly opened the box & checked out the loot...& I was NOT DISAPPOINTED ^_^  Now, what everyone waits for...PICTURES XD

 As always, a lovely note from Mai Sakamoto & my receipt ^^

1) High collar blouse...which i thought was black...but after looking it up...i'm pretty sure it's 

the Frill Ribbon Standing Collar blouse in Navy ^^

2) I believe these are the Dot Ribbon OTK socks in brown/beige...i think ;)

A friend has the black version ^^

3) Rose Panel 2 WAY JSK in Navy...i think...there's no black, so it must be navy ;)

when i first tried this on, it didn't fit that well...but i think i'll try it again before deciding to sell it or not ^^

 4) This one i knew immediately...Acanthus short JSK in black ^_^

I was hoping i would get this print & when i saw it i was sooo happy XD

It's such a beautiful print & I just love the embellishment at the top ^^

Last but not least, Another black jsk called JSK with a vest...&...i thought the print was polka dots...but...it's actually a TRUMPS PRINT O_O 

OMG! this dress just became a MILLION TIMES MORE AMAZING ^_^

And with that, I got my interestingly Dark themed Lucky Pack XD

Which was the PERFECT pack for me today after listening to vkei all morning & @ work ;) And!  there's no such thing as too much black ;D  I also feel like maybe the IW people must know me...since there's no pink in this either, heh ^_^

Next, I'd like to try & get one of the bigger packs...& hopefully get a bag in it :3
