-What are your wardrobe staples and how do you like to use them?
I have a cherrycheezy rosette from back when she sold them that gets pinned on top of what may admittedly be too many cords. I love the variety or textures it adds and the art is even super cute on it's own! Besides that, dress in picrel is a comfy and easy base to work off of that sees a lot of use! My oversized knit rainbow cardigan makes regular appearances as well in colder weather. Why chose a color scheme when you could have them all?

-Favorite motifs?
I'm a sucker for sweets motifs, (no pun intended!) I often find myself having to keep my collection of parfait/cream soda/etc. necklaces in check before it takes over! I also love magical girl compacts, wands and whatnot, but I don't like to buy anything from a show I haven't watched which limits that somewhat. Night sky motifs, confetti and castles are also top-tier.

-What things do you think are over- or underrated in fairy-kei?
Sneakers are obviously super popular and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that, but I do like how more delicate shoe options like mary-janes can look with certain coords. I sometimes use the same shoes I wear with sweet lolita in fairy looks.
I'm not at all a fan of baby themes, all those bottles and cradles and blocks are just off-putting to me, but they're inescapable.

-Dream items?
It may not count as a dream item, but to this day I have never had one of those pastel 80s sweaters, I just can't justify the cost they usually go for to myself. Something I'd actually snatch up if I ever got the chance is the 6%dokidoki la coquette dress.

-Do you have a favorite brand, and what you like about them?
Nile perch my beloved <3 What's not to like? Great quality, versatile, unique pieces that hit all my boxes for cuteness.
