It's great that you started! Always happy to see a new fairy~

As for learning fairy kei, I have to say the first thing is applicable to all fashions. Simply being absorbed in the fashion, seeing outfit shots or looking at stock photos, will improve your coordinating skills. It's very interesting the amount of knowledge that can be absorbed without words.
But as for written things:
> Petticoats/panniers aren't a necessity. If you are wearing them, always check that your underwear isn't showing through. Puff them up nicely before leaving, and bloomers can always be thrown under for some additional figure.
> Legwear is super important! Fairy kei loves its colors, so don't be afraid to be extra colorful with your legs.
> Bigger is better with fairy kei jewelry. Large chunky rings? 3-5 inch resin necklaces with dangling charms? Triple bracelets? All good.
> Platforms exist, but aren't too popular in the fashion. Many people are wearing tea parties and pastel sweet lolita shoes, but thicker sneakers paired with slim-fitting tights is classic fairy.
> Hair can vary from casual to fancy. Don't be afraid to play around with yours.
> The fairy kei silhouette is frumpy on top and slim-fitting on the bottom. You'll find male fairy kei wearers might have puffy pants, but slim tights or socks. Tight crop tops, even pastel, don't fit the fashion.

As for building a new wardrobe:
> Outerwear: loose cardigan, semi-fitted casual jacket, and oversized hoodie/varsity jacket (the second is currently trending)
> lots n lots of pastel tees!
Can get these anywhere, but for an extra touch, you can buy one of those milklim detachable collars in pastel colors to plop on.
