What I love about...

Today I feel like writing haha I dunno...

I tried again continuing with my singapore posts but for some reason, uploading the pics just won't properly work..it's FRUSTRATING!!

But anyway...I feel like getting out of my depressed phase again..haha slowly.

I think what just bummers me is the lack of creativity I had for the past weeks and even months...I wear the same things, I do the same things, I don't plan...

That's actually the opposite of what I was trying to do this year..

So back up with the motivation.

It also helped trying to create two new fits matching my vibe as best as possible.

Loved that challenge.

In case u have missed it..my vibe was:

-slightly gothic

-retro

-girly&mature

-colors more in the black/pastel direction

My results:

I actually wanted to wear my black lolita blouse underneath but that day it was too cold!!

and the makeup I did (could never wear at work tbh haha)

And I realised: this is very close to larme style haha..

I could not open my larme mags rn because they are in boxes stored underneath my BUNCH OF BOOKS...but I could find pics online..and yep.

the vibe I was trying to achieve was pretty much a gothic larme xD

So I had a huge larme inspo kick going on and then I went on Natsumins blog and saw her amazing prisila wig that reminded me a lot of the hime and agejo vibe WHICH I ALSO LOVE.

I am at that point already where I stopped giving me labels but now I think it's important to give myself direction and the best way to do it is to try making a fundament and ask myself WHAT DO I LOVE?

So here as an inspo collection <33

I hope you get the concept what I am getting at..

WHAT DO I LOVE..about Larme

I really love the girly/retro vibes they have going on..

I am a huge fan of everything old-school and retro and they reflect a lot these 60s vibes but in a modern interpretation...

A lot of the outfits are modest, or can be made modest..

I am just older now and don't feel comfortable with super short skirts and dresses..

the combos are amazing.

It doesn't matter wether it's the layering or just the imagination to code certain pieces..

When it comes to terms of larme...you don't need certain brands..

It's all about the combo achieved.

It is girly, dolly but yet mature and in my opinion also ok to wear at work.

that makes the looks a good choice for me for every day wear.

They also wear darker shades of lipstick, or even red.

Those are my favourite colors for lips.

WHAT DO I LOVE..about Lolita

I am going to admit I am new to the scene.. Don't take me too serious here.

Also the amount of times I have worn lolita like seriously can be count on one hand.

Usually I wear a casual variation of it, or leave out the pettycoat etc.

However the more pieces I get the more I love it.

It started when I was a hime gyaru and decided to get some lolita dresses to code them as hime gyaru, so I was on lolita shops more often.

Same case like with larme: it is more on the modest side.

A lot of the dresses are around knee-length and have a retro vibe going on.

I love dresses and lolita is like...about wearing dresses.

And these dresses are ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECES.

The details, the print, the layers...you won't find that with normal clothings...ever!

I like to switch out vibes and not wear the same thing over and over again and that's possible with lolita as well...they have also different kind of themes going on.

Strawberry, lemon, bear, astrology...etc.

You have the ability to work on an outfit, find matching pieces and make it an art piece to wear.

lolita bags are like the most interesting things ever..

If they only fix the amount of space you have inside and make it bigger.

WHAT DO I LOVE..about Hime Gyaru

yes I make this seperate. 

Count me weird but I never see hime as gyaru like the other styles.

To me it is too far off the concept tbh.

No tan, no flashy long nails, no strong makeup, no sexiness etc.

I am not saying it is not gyaru, they do have the similiarity, but a different vibe in my opinion.

I love the hair! Honestly...Hime hair is like playing lego and switching and matching them differently!

Because of this they are actually LOW-MAINTENANCE...you just connect and combine different wigs and hair pieces..

You could be bald underneath and yet have different hairstyles..

The necklaces are a charm...I love pearls sm.

Jesus Diamante dresses are legendary..however I gave up fitting in them.

I don't want to squeeze myself into clothes that are not comfortable anymore..

The shoes are absolute fire..but I dislike mules..

The platform heels I had disintegrated too.

But I think I will get some random heels of ali and glue some flowers on them again to make my own again haha.

and yes it had to come: the princessy/retro-vibe

WHAT DO I LOVE..about Gyaru

Whenever I feel like being gyaru again, I feel so uncomfortable but when I don't wear it I miss it, so one time I was sitting there looking closer to what exactly I like about gyaru and here is the clue: I dislike the fashion, but like a lot of the rest.

For example I love the makeup techniques

This is something I have ditched for a while but I feel like going for a more dramatic look again..

I probably won't wear lower lashes but instead accentuate the bottom with eyeshadow and eyeliner.

I love long nails and a loooot of gems on them..

so gyaru nail art it is!

The deco lifestyle: Gals love to DIY the shit out of stuff!

I appreciate individuality and I love maximalist interior etc.

Gyaru lifestyle is so much fun!!

Collecting magazine, listening to eurobeat, watching para para (I still can't dance any I am sry), going shopping, coding different outfits..and having new booms every time.

Like, there is always something to explore!

As you can see...the fashion is like the least aspect I like about Gyaru, but the other fashion styles are too dominant to mix it with gyaru.

Larme is for example very soft in colors, Lolita is very dolly...

And mixing lolita with gyaru is pretty much hime gyaru again, which I personally find difficult to wear every day at work.

However I want to make new outfits soon and I felt like getting a base might be helpful.

I won't give myself labels anymore or whatever or try to fit in..

I just do what I want...

These are the things I like and want to experiment with soon <3
