Emily Temple Cute Mermaid JSK

I've gone and traded my ETC Mermaid skirt for the JSK :o

 A lovely friend of mine happened to have the JSK and asked me if I was willing to trade with her--same color and everything--

I didn't really mind it,

it didn't seem that much of a difference;

she didn't have the heart to alter the JSK but wouldn't mind doing so to the skirt to make it fit her.

When I had seen the pictures of it, I wasn't so sure if I really liked the style of it :/

I liked that I could wear my bustle blouse with the skirt I had :3

It has made a great outfit since I've had it,

but this was empire waist and wouldn't provide me with that option :/

Just to still give it some consideration to accommodate her situation,

I thought I'd check it out personally, since some things can do that to you--

be much better looking in person xD

I happened to like the simplicity of it when I put it on :)

I especially love the gold lacing detail >w<

Maybe mostly because it was summer and that happened to sway the decision more so xP

Let's see how I happen to coordinate it though :o
