Berry Pies in Black and White






















Today, I wore Lolita again for the first time since I got back from Japan. We went to Seattle today, to shop at Pike Place Market and Uwajimaya market. I decided to go for a slightly more casual look with a hoodie cutsew and understated accessories.
