Gyaru research - Old School Onee

It's now 11:12 am and I have time before work so I thought I'll tell you about my latest gal research w

What do I mean by a 'Gal Research'?

Whenever I wanna try a new style or I have like an important event that I need a special specific look for I do a style research and what I usually do is choosing a gal\gals and start going through their SNS and save loads of pics and note to myself the important stuff like makeup, hair, brands, colors and shapes of clothes and so on.

SO~

right now I'm doing a research about oldschool onne gyaru~ and more specifically 2007~2010 onne style.

The reason for this is actually started as a conversation between me and my circle sister Mayuminnie. We were talking about how she always likes to dress up fancier and she wants us to dress as what we call "princesses" sometimes, and the problem is, I'm more of a casual fashion person.. I don't really feel comfortable in fancy or too fancy clothes. I used to dress in sweet himekaji and onee and even did Agejo a few times but it never felt like it was really ME as much as I feel in oldschool or Amekaji. Still I feel like when we go out for a fancy dinner or something like that I want to be more fancy but still feel myself, So I thought trying the oldschool onee will be cool cause its fancy but not too dolly. 

So now when I think about oldschool onee it really reminds me of the days I only started gyaru cause back in 2008 I used to be addicted to a few gal models blogs and 1 of them was Shizuka Muto's blog, and I really think of her as the godmother of onee up until today!

So here I am, going through her blog all over again from the very beginning. For now what I found was mostly gal life pics and hair make pics in bad resolution BUT it still inspires me and so I thought I would share it with you~

Loving this look SM

They were my fave trio I mean OMG this is so iconic T______T

I really wanna try this look in the next fancy event we have (Probably Innu's bday) and I'm trying to figure out what are the right clothes for this look. So as for the brands that I'll be looking at the list is:

Lip Service

Cecil McBEE

Rienda

Egoist

Duras

Barbie

And since at that time Rady was a roomwear brand I don;t think I could find something there so I'll stick with those and hopefully will find old pieces like I want. Also I thought about maybe look at old Yumetenbo stuff.

The shapes and colors of the clothes are a lot of monotone black and whites, pink in any shade lol, hade purple and violet and maybe some red. Satin, Lace and Chiffon for fabrics of course.

The main things i'm currently looking for are mini dresses with a matching scarf and mini tunic dresses with bell sleeves~ Also strappy babydoll dresses~ I feel like they would go best with heels like sandals or something but we'll see cause it's still coldXD mybe in summer w

Oh and of course the most popular patterns in this style would be any kind of pucchi style marble like in the rady setups and vertical border stripes. dots is also cool but idk. Hound tooth might be good. I don't really feel like getting anything floral idk why XD

I'm definatly going to go through Ikemegu's blog also


I mean look at her

 And if you have any idea which other blogs I  should creep on let me know ww

I'll keep you updated with my findings!^^
Have a lovely day everyone!

Love,
