Hello everyone, as I have been stuck on topics for my posts recently I thought I'd start the Gyaru meme! I wont be posting everyday but I will post consistently.
I have briefly explained how I got into Gyaru subculture in one of my previous posts but it mainly summarised how I developed in Japanese fashion overall.
Most fashion styles I try straight away - I buy the clothes and fix my make-up and that's pretty much it - I'm now Fairy kei/ creepy cute/Cult party kei etc.! However, with Gyaru I never really had that sudden starting point, it was very gradual (when I started developing the style more seriously).

So this post is a little over due, I can't believe its been over a month since I last had a Gyaru meet! My life has been very busy since then - at first, I didn't really have the money to see people, but now with my new job I don't have the time! Plus its now the exam/dissertation month for a lot of my friends still in University, so my social life has died down a little since they have a lot of deadlines.
But anyway! A huge Gyaru meet was arranged last month in China town (obviously) and to my surprise there were quite a lot of new faces which is always great to see other's getting into the style.
So this post is four months late and I apologise! Back in October I met up with the lovely Lizzie Bee for MCM expo. Both of us mainly went to see everyone and buy shit that we don't actually need.
Recently I've really been getting into Gyaru and I want to experiment more with different styles in Gyaru. At the moment I've just been putting outfits together with the clothes already in my wardrobe. First of all I wanted to try Hime Lolita as I don't wear this dress often even though its my number one favourite in my entire wardrobe ;3;

Winter Hime Gyaru Coord Hmm I'm not too sure about this one as I just think pairing Knee high socks with a skirt/dress looks strange in the cold weather. Its like, are you hot or cold? Why expose just a part of your thigh? So I think I would change the socks to thick white tights and maybe put boots underneath the fluffy leg warmers. Sadly I don't own any ;A;. My leg warmers need a wash too xD Pink Poncho - Camden White Dress - ebay Fluffy Ivory shorts - Liz Lisa Socks - Primark Leg warmers - ebay Shoes - Handmade Ring - Handmade Princess Melody inspired head bow - Handmade
