Hello lovelies, 

it was time again for another b&b organized by the wonderful team of Lolita Verein Österreich at Blauer Salon in Vienna. It's such a wonderful event! It is always the highlight of my lolita year and a staple of the Vienna Lolita community. 

We arrived around 11:30am. I had 12 items to sell so I paid my 12€ fee, 1€ per item with a 20€ cap. 

After you bring your items you can browse the other clothes that are there. The clothing racks for dresses, blouses, and skirts are divided between lolita clothes and jfashion clothes like liz lisa. Whereas accessoires and outerwear are not handled separately. This mix of Lolita fashion and japanese street fashion makes the bring and buy not only popular with Austrian lolitas but with all J-fashion fans.

As the event goes until 4pm, most of the people went for lunch at 12pm and left the clothes in the attendance of the club.

We ourselves went to grab some delicious food at dancing noodles, a Chinese restaurant just near the salon that offered food with authentic North-chinese hand-pulled noodles. And the noodles were really good! 

As we had to leave early, I collected my cash from the register. I had sold 3 items for a total of 115€. Nice! But I also did spend 140€ on the clothes plus 12€ fee. So it was not really a plus but nevertheless, I had new clothes! Buying second hand at events like this is one of my favourite ways to enjoy sustainable Lolita fashion and slow fashion in general.

And here is my haul:

I bought this blue Axes femme dress as I just loved the print. It's a bit long for me but that's okay. For a second hand axes femme dress it was a bit on the expensive side with 70€ but I did not care. I wanted it as Axes Femme pieces are always in high demand at J-Fashion second-hand events.

Then I got a new cream coloured Liz Lisa cardigan. I am always out of cardigans so I am hoarding them. I bought it for 25€. 

The top is from Ank rouge and is just a short crop top, perfect for layering under JSK in Lolita and J-fashion styles. The price was 20€. 

And then of course, the bonnet. Isn't it pretty? I adore bonnets, they are one of my favourite accessories for classic and sweet Lolita coords. The friend who sold the bonnet told me that she herself bought the bonnet at a bring and buy but she didn't wear it. And it was a shame too just keep it in the closet, so she sold it for 25€. A steal for such a pretty thing!

And here is my coord for the event. I wore my quaint lass OP, braided up my hair and wore a baby the stars shine bright headpiece. The necklace is from Metamorphose temps de fille, it's already quite ancient in lolita years. 

I just had to change the shoes as it was too cold for such flimsy shoes. 

Tell me, what is your favourite item from the haul?
