Welcome to the first official I lose my mind yap session blog, as today has just been frustrating, so I am going to just ramble about fashion trends as a gyaru who does not really follow the mainstream ones and is not really into the current relevant trends either.
I'm based out of the United States, and it's just been so when it comes to trends I see NEUTRALS EVERYWHERE.... BASIC OUTFITS... EVERYWHERE... "Clean Girl"?! "Quiet Luxury?!" it just feels wrong to me!
I've always been a person that's not followed current fashion trends, when I was younger it was just due to financial constraints, but now it's just... I like BRIGHT! SATURATED! pink, frilly girly things. This is why I really like 2010s koakuma ageha... it itches that scratch I didn't know I needed.
The problem is in Japan a lot of the brands I really looked up to either disintegrated into abyss, or moved onto the jirai/ryousangata fashion, which is where the pinks are not bright, or saturated. I am SICK of dusty pink. SICK of it!!!!
There is a win/loss when you find a fashion trend that's outdated that you like because of two things
- The win: You have to secondhand all your clothing because nothing sold in stores is to your taste! Good for the environment!
- The loss: You have to fight with everyone else who wants that fashion too.
I've actually tried restricting my wardrobe more to prevent myself from just buying things left and right, but god, being a koakuma ageha girlie is hard. The cute brands they share are either a PAIN to search for or it's MA*RS being sold for like... 2-3x the market price these days. Or you find a cute piece and turns out you've gone so far in you can't even view the sellers profile because it's that old... UGH!
I feel like it might be good for the first quarter to just... stop looking with the idea of making a purchase and just see how the market changes in like... March. Who knows, maybe MA*RS is prepping a sugargloss re-release... (please... I'm begging).
And then with trends... I can't just manifest it I have to somehow convince others its a good idea isn't it? But I'm not an influencer... I'm just a gyaru who is trying her best to be as cute and pink as possible. I think it's easier to make a trend work by just doing it and not saying it, if that makes sense?
I think of like Emma Chamberlain and Alix Earle who share their lives and they could be doing something for themselves and like people who follow them just do it. I mean, I also do that with koakuma ageha models, they aren't saying "I've created this and we're making it trend now everyone wear it!" They just wear it, and people who follow them might take inspiration.
...This means maybe I need to be wearing more bright pink, huh!
Ok, time for bed, night everyone!!
