I wanted to post this way earlier, since the month of May is almost over...but oh well, school comes first.
This month, I went through Ageha, Egg, Kera, Popteen & Ranzuki. One thing I've been noticing is that being a fujoshi is starting to really be accepted, even considered "fashionable". There was a whole section of maybe 3-4 pages on "How to cosplay Hatsune Miku", ads for upcoming anime conventions, Butler Cafe reviews, and there was a section on "awesome accessories" of Lilo & Stitch, Hello Kitty and...One Piece. Yep. It surprises me that a Shounen would be popular amongst the Gyaru community o_O The cosplayer in the Miku tutorial is so cute too <3 Oh, there were also some Palty ads by Kara in every magazine I read <3
So here are the outfits I like from this month's issues!
Since there were so many outfits I liked from this month's Ageha, I made 3 collages of 3 outfits each. First, I love the dress because it's simple and still reminds me of a nautical theme. <3 As for the 2 others, they're still from my new-found love for the Yurufuwa, Motekawa style, this time in Blue & Pink. I'm not sure if it would look good on me though, maybe it's TOO girly? >.<
Again with the floral trend, I love the floral poofy shorts on the 1st model <3 Balloon shorts/skirts tend not to look good on me though, but I'd love to have a flowy skirt with a similar floral pattern.
I'd like to have a denim romper similar to the model on the left, rompers are sooo comfortable <3 I'd also like to have a tartan dress with an empire waist. I especially LOVE the high-waist denim shorts on the 3rd model, they're so cute <3 Love the gold buttons :D
Now for this month's edition of Egg! What I love about this magazine are the street shots, so many fashionable girls just as beautiful as supermodels <3 For the 1st model, I have an addiction for Union Jack stuff (The British flag). I love how her patterned leggings match perfectly with her shirt, plus they're kind of Alice in Wonderland-ish with the cards printed on them :D I would die of happiness if I found leggings like these in stores. As for the 2nd model, I love coloured overalls, and these pink ones are just too cute xD; I don't know if I'd be able to pull 'em off though. The 2 last picks are actually streetshots :D I love the style of the 3rd girl, so colourful <3 I like how she pulled off wearing a flashy blue shirt even though she has pink hair and a pink skirt, it goes so well together. I also like her furry legwarmers~ As for the 4th girl, I looove her asymmetrical-patterned stockings <3
It's rare that I like Kera, since it's mostly Oshare-kei...but I loved this month's issue <3 Probably because of it's abundance of Union Jack clothes. xD I love the 1st model because of her pink-striped shirt. I found one at Mode de Star once, but they only accepted cash and I didn't have enough to buy it xD; She also has a mini top-hat made of playing cards, maybe I should make one too o: As for the 2nd model, she kinda reminded me of Oosaki Nana from NANA even if she has platinum blonde hair. Maybe because of the haircut, rocker style and makeup? Anyway, since I recently went blonde, I was worried that leopard-print stockings might look weird on me...but on her, it looks great o: So maybe I'll return to Swatow to get them. I also love the asymmetrical skirt and the plaid shirt :D The 3rd model caught my eye with her diamond-printed stockings, it's a shame you can't really see them here >.< I also have a recent obsession with off-shoulder baggy short shirts, I don't know if you know what I mean xD; They're sooo comfortable and refreshing! For the 2 last models, obviously, it's because of Union Jack. xD;; So pretty <3 I don't know why, but I just love the combination of red, white and navy. That's also why I like Nautical-themed clothes as well.
Now for Popteen! Gingham patterns seem to be in style this month, I had a hard time choosing my favourite Gingham outfits xD; So I love the dress on the 1st model <3 I also love the 3rd model's polka dot dress, it looks classic and chic~ As for the 2nd model, it's to go with my recent overall craze xD I love how structured and fitted these denim overalls are :D
Lastly, it's Ranzuki's turn~ I absolutely love the polka dot skirt with suspenders on the 1st model, it's so vintage and cute <3 As for the 2nd model, I love her gingham-print skirt and cake T-Shirt :D I LOVE the huge-polka dots on the 3rd model's skirt, and it looks so flowy and fun~ As for the last model, it's the last gingham pick that I have <3 Her dress is just so cute, and paired with the navy cardigan, it looks so formal. It's something I would wear to work...if I was allowed to wear dresses to work. xD; I think I'm only allowed to wear black dresses for work, as long as they're not too short (of course).So that's it for this month's fashion!
