Sara's New Look

Hooray for new stuff! =3

 

My Lucy wig with flower clips arrived along with the Cutie Checked Style outfit from SMJ. I received my February Collection outfits from Volks too, but I will have to make time later to try those out. ^_^

 

I'm extra excited about the Cutie Checked style outfit, I've been wanting that outfit for what seems like FOREVER. Too bad the auction I won didn't have the shoes with it. So for now I paired it up with the ones from the Alna Encore set.

 

I'm also glad I was able to get Lucy's default wig, it's really cute and just like I thought a perfect wig for Sara to try out. ^_^

 

I am a bit disappointed with the flower clips. They are pretty much a joke and don't even deserve to be called a *clip*. If there is some trick I'm missing to make them stay in the hair better then please do share with me how to do it, I would greatly appreciate it.

 

Anyway here's some quick sample pics of Sara trying out Lucy's wig and the Cutie Checked style outfit.

 

~As always please enjoy the pics~thank you!

Wow she looks so sweet and pretty! That wig suits her well ^o^

She looks SO pretty I love her so much!!

 

The hair clips sit much better in more dense wigs, I couldn't get them to stay in Lucy's wig either but they sit fine in Elsie's

With finer wigs/hair you have to kind of weave them through and not pick up a lot of hair each time.

 

That's how I have to use clips on my own hair, and how it worked for my volks wigs on Milly and Yoko.

 

You can also do this if it's a barrette.

She looks adorable. I really like the little clippies in her hair, actually. Hopefully Misskale's link will help them work like they're supposed to. (I'm not very good with clips for my own hair, come to think of it...)

 

By the way, what is SMJ? *nublet* Their clothes look really cute...

Looks nice. That wig is a great color for white skin DDs IMHO. Bummer about the clips being so loose, hopefully some of the advice above can help you get them to work better.

YAAAAAAYYYY!!! New Sara pics!

 

Sorry, I like Sara.

 

She looks really great in that outfit! Pastels and light colors work so well with her. And that wig is also perfect on her! More pastels..... you know how to make her look great.

 

She has some really cute poses here too, she seems to actually be playing coy with us. She knows she's adorable tho, how can she not?

 

Congrats on getting in that outfit and the wig too, I know you've been after the outfit for a while now!

Wow, she is very pretty! The pink wig looks nice on her, it makes her cheeks even more blushed. So cute! >w<

 

Her outfit is very nice on her as well.

She looks adorable!! Great job!

Thank you so very much! I'm glad you like her and I hope with that link it will help with the hair clip problem.

 

SMJ is short for Shopping Mall Japan ~ http://shoppingmalljapan.com/

 

It's a proxy service you use to purchase items from YJA (Yahoo Japan Auctions) ~ http://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/

 

Since about most of the sellers that list on YJA won't ship to the US you need a proxy service or middleman to be able to purchase items from the auctions on that site.

 

YJA is a great site to check for older harder to find outfits made by Volks or really any kind of Dollfie Dream items you can think of.

 

So this set that is on Sara is actually made by Volks and is called Cutie Checked Style ~ http://www.volksusa.com/ofkor20090704.html It was released at Dolls Party 21 as part of the regular items. It was made and sold way before I started the Dollfie Dream hobby. It is one of those rare outfits that has been long sold out. So the only way or really best way was through Yahoo Japan Auctions using Shopping Mall Japan to bid on the outfit and then using SMJ to ship the outfit to me.

 

I hope this all makes sense. If you have any questions at all please feel free to PM me and I will help you out the best I can.

Wow she looks so sweet and pretty! That wig suits her well ^o^

 

Thank you so very much! I'm very happy you like how her new wig looks on her.

Thank you so very much Bethy! I'm happy you like my Sara and her newest look.

 

Thanks for the tip on the hair clips. I will have to give them a try in some of the other wigs I own. I agree that Lucy's wig is a bit finer than most wigs, but it is still a super cute wig.

 

With finer wigs/hair you have to kind of weave them through and not pick up a lot of hair each time.

Thank you so very much for the tips and the link misskale! I really appreciate your help. That link will be a big help in keeping them in the wig better.

Thank you very much! I agree it's a perfect wig color for WS DD's. I think just for fun I will try it on one of my other girls. But I really just purchased the wig with only Sara in mind to wear it. I'm glad you like how she looks in it.

 

YAAAAAAYYYY!!! New Sara pics!

Hahahahaha I never would have guessed that you liked my Sara. =3

 

Thank you very much for your wonderful comment and compliments for Sara. She is always happy to read the nice things you say about her. ^_^

 

I'm extremely happy I was able to finally secure that outfit. It was one of my top 5 must have Volks outfits. Now that I have it expect to see pretty much all my girls that can wear it give it a try.

 

I'm glad you liked the poses. I wasn't honestly putting much effort into them. I mainly just wanted to get a few sample pics of how sweet Sara looked. But thanks for liking them, I agree she does look a bit coy in them.

 

Ooooooh she know all too well she is adorable. Why else do you think she gets showered with so many gifts?

 

Wow, she is very pretty! The pink wig looks nice on her, it makes her cheeks even more blushed. So cute! >w<

 

Her outfit is very nice on her as well.

 

Awwww thank you so very much! I really appreciate your wonderful comment! I'm so very happy you like how she looks in her new wig and outfit.

Thank you so very much mitsuki! I'm so happy you like Sara's new look. I agree pink is a terrific color on her. I'm glad I was able to get this wig since her other pink wig isn't the best.

I know I was disappointed when trying to place them in the wig. I need to take some more time and try to style the wig better and give the clips another try. I have yet to try them in a different wig. Lucy's wig is on the thin side, so that might be the issue.
