A sad, sad beached whale.
Oh /cgl - why?
Why would you talk about something like this?

>>6632974
we get pleasure from other's pain

This was tagged "decora" "kawaii" and "gyaru".
There are no words...

>>6633066

I have that same Gusty hairclip.

I don't fully understand what decora is.

The ape arm is what gets me.

>>6633066
>If I put enough hair clips in my hair, it's decora, right?

>>6633069

Its short for "Decoration". Its where you wear lots of cute accessories, lots of layers usually pastel or heavily saturated colors. Pretty much its a fashion where unless you're cute, little, and just look very youthful, you're going to look like a train wreck.

This is supposed to be lolita.

>>6633075
this is realy decora though.

>>6633092
>unless you're cute, little, and just look very youthful, you're going to look like a train wreck.
Nope, all of them look like trainwrecks.

The idea isn't to just wear lots of them it's to over accessorize on purpose and look messy.

>>6633066
>>6633075
I have never understood decora. Maybe it's because my first exposure to it was PT, but I really don't see the appeal of putting in a million hairclips and colourful jewellery that looks like it was meant for 6 year olds. Are there any examples where it actually looks good?

>>6633075
How the fuck could someone dress like that on a regular basis and still remain sane?

I thought decora died along with Myspace. Jesus Christ, it's like I'm in a time warp.

>>6632878
She looks just like an obese sniper_nyan!

>>6633137
>implying they're sane to begin with
I will never understand the appeal of decora. Some of the accessories are really cute but when you pile them all on like that, they lose their appeal and you just look awful.

>>6633121
No, there isn't. It's supposed to look waaaay over the top basically think of what would happen if you set a tornado off in claires. It's really honestly supposed to look like a mess. It's just a super rebellious fashion, which is why it evolved into fairy/pop kei which is more manageable and easier to wear over all.

>>6634128
These are the reasons I loved decora.
It was these outcast kids saying stfu i want to wear ALL the things, i don't care if I don't look attractive to you.

>>6634151
It basically is yeah. Sometimes I feel like people forget that alot of these fashions are meant to rebel with very little meaning other than that. Japan has strange tastes yes, but decora is really just one of those things that's not really wearable every day. I guess there was a meetup this weekend though in Harajuku, it warmed my heart a little bit.

>>6634154
I'm glad it's still going, even if it's minor.

I'm surprised at how lolita has changed, it didn't used to be such a bitch club. I guess when anything gets more established, it goes back to who's the prettiest.

Dark mori girl.....
she run one of the dark mori tumblr too.....

>dolly-kei

what is on her head?

i dont think this person's hime-gal outfits are bad, but the eye makeup perplexes me. and i see it very often. what is cute about your false lashes falling off your face?

i understand its meant to make the illusion of larger eyes, and maybe it's just me, but it really does not work at all for people who are not east asian... but its so prevalent in east asian fashion and western girls don't even consider that the makeup wont work the same for them.

they end up looking like fools.

>>6634277
I believe that is cat ears made out of pipe cleaners.

the one on the right

to see my favorite liz lisa dress being abused this way, jfc

>>6634306
that would be kind of cute in a whimsical way, if only with a different dress.

>>6634284
wasn't she posted in gyaru secrets about looking like miss piggy?

>>6634319
i didn't even know there were gyaru secrets. i can see it though.

>>6634327
on second thought, don't even google that

they're like a hundred times more catty/idiotic than BtB

>>6634327
ignore the other anon
they are so much fun

>>6634277
HAHA I knew when I saw that pic on tumblr that it would end up in one of these threads. Much agreed- I had to zoom in that picture when I saw it because I thought they were pipecleaner cat ears, too. I wasn't sure if she was going for floppy ribbon bow or what.

>>6634336
Gyaru secrets is: you're fat/you're a slut, and the worse insult is "ur nawt gyaru". And chatspeak everywhere.

This thread is gonna be good.

Found this in the "yamamba" tag. People still do this shit?

>>6634336
>they're like a hundred times more catty/idiotic than BtB
I'm reading the secrets for the first time in ages. One of them is actually complaining about a girl having veins in her eyes, and the occasionally flyaway hair.
Fucking gyarus.

>>6633092
Um, what is that pose?

>>6634169
>shapeless dress with one of those shapeless cardigans

Is there any of this done right?

>>6638272
What' wrong with this, except for the fact that her face is not that pretty?

>>6638272
If she removed a few parts of this outfit (the pin, the bow) then it would look pretty cute.

>>6638272
I actually don't mind the pin, but I do think the wig looks unflattering on her skintone. Other than that, I'm not seeing the horror...

>>6638272
Vendetta detected. She looks fine, except her face isn't the best.

>>6634205
Oh Marshall, you poor baby.

>>6638272
Holy shit is the black version of Juria.

>>6634284
vendetta detected, her makeup'd pretty spot-on in that pic but she should consider slimming down before she buys more tiny dresses made for 46kg, 150cm tall Japanese girls.

>>6634374
Quite a few foreign gals still do, myself included. I applaud her for trying it, despite the fact that her makeup's pretty messy.

>>6638242
vendetta detected

>>6638272
dem slim legs ;-;

>>6638290
>>6638293
agree with you guys wholeheartedly.


As for this, I hope she doesn't drag that plushie around everywhere she goes.

>>6638312
Nobody wants to know your opinions on everything.

>>6638306
>black version of Juria.

Oh lord I hope not. Juria's fashion sense is horrendous. I cannot grasp how anyone thinks her 1980s hooker-inspired clothes could look good. But that tell-tale hand to jaw thing....

>>6638230
I like her hair but then again I have awful taste.

>>6638315
>implying everyone in this thread is you

ohohoho

>>6638312
>dem slim legs ;-;
...is that sarcastic? I honestly can't tell.

>>6638242
I tried

>>6638272
oh look, it's rune. she usually looks pretty spot on so im guessing this is just vendetta or something?
pic related, i think the wig looks better in this photo so i guess it might be just lighting which makes it look unflattering

>>6638328
The wig does look better in that picture. Girl looks cute.

>>6638327
no... :|
how exactly did you 'improve' that photo besides making it seem like her skin has no texture?


She looked better before.

>>6638327
A lot better.
She looks like she's 40 in the unshooped picture.

Found this under the lolita tag

>>6638290
Girl needs better foundation/makeup.

>>6638351
SIGH, imani...

>>6638351
SUPA KAWAII FOREHEAD DESUUU
Why do people do that? Looking old is not cute.

>>6638351
That's... An old man, right?

>>6638351
Ugh, the hair looks so gross...

>>6638351
She wears a wig when she wears a full coord, though, right? Please tell me she does.

>>6638272
Lol, she is really cute. Try again, vendetta-chan

Not sure where else to post this, but I was wondering if anyone knew of any good plus size j-fashion tumblrs, other than lolita?

"gyaru"

even though its not that bad.. i dont get why someone wear that tights + cardigan at once, that looks silly

>>6638543
Not exactly ita, though yeah, if she lost either the cardi or the tighs, it'd look a lot better.

>>6638543
She would be incredibly cute without all the black shit.

>>6638547
it's not lolita so it can't be ita anyway.

>>6638554
Oh god... Tell me it's a joke.
She would look good without the tights, socks and that necklace or whatever it is.
She needs to learn makeup and least buy a good wig.

>>6638561

no joke.
she also tried decora and lolita

>>6638237
I fucking hate those shapeless cardigans. I hate this whole boxy shapeless trend that is going on right now because I can't fucking find anything that actually fits my body unless it's shitty stretchy material.

Sage for mad.

>>6638225
That could actually be a really cute (but not J-Fashion) outfit if she swapped the leggings for tights, got better shoes and got rid of the headdress. Possibly swap the jacket for another, non-printed one, or wear a tan belt instead of black.

>>6638559
This is going to sound really catty, but she's way too skinny to pull off that look. I can't see her full outfit, but from what I can see, it kinda looks like it's rockabilly-inspired, which (IMO, at least), needs curves to pull off. She is nowhere near shapely enough for that.

And yes, I realise that curves are not the same as fat.

>>6634229
I've seen girls downtown wearing outfits like this all the time. I've just called this "weeaboo-kei" because I've seen so many girls wear striped socks like this all the time... thinking it looks good.

>>6638619
Thank you for reminding me I have a pair of striped socks I need to get rid of.

>>6638242
She looks lovely.

>>6638619
I like stripey socks as much as the next weeaboo, but that needs to stop.

>>6638351
This girl is a goldmine of terrible, I'm telling you

>>6638634
God, she flat out refuses to accept concrit, its so annoying. Every time you try to help her she's just like, "oh this is my unique hybrid style~~~"

>>6638272
girl's a walking taobao advertisement, but cute

>>6638634
>>6638575
>>6638554
So much second-hand embarrassment

>>6638328
I don't know if she's lost weight or what but seeing what she looks like now that weeaboostories is gone, it's bothersome that she was always like "I'M CHUBBY I'M CHUBBY I'M CHUBBY" quite frequently when she really isn't at all. She's not skinny minny but she looks healthy/not fat.

>>6638454
nopethose dreads stay showing and I hate her boosting about being one of the best black tattoo artists in America. I seen her designs they aren't that good.

>>6638624
Save them for your work slacks; That's what I do.

>>6638660
she says she's chubby a lot? was that a while ago cause she's lost a ton of weight and a lot of people have been giving her shit for 'hating fat people' and taking a picture of her flat stomach

>>6634277
Actually I think this is a store bought headband. I saw these in Five Below around Christmas time. It's a ribbon wrapped wire headband with the top wire bent to look like cat ears. They looked very awkward. I didn't try one on even thought was curious about how it bad it would look. But now I know thanks to this pic.

>>6638909
*even though I
I feel so stupid for that.

>>6638324
I agree with Anon.

>>6633083
I...I think I know this person IRL. Not 100% sure. Disturbed

>>6638619
>"weeaboo-kei"
I love you

>>6638351
I've seen some others of her. One she has a really nice dress on, matchin RHBs, cute blouse...and that completely ridic hair. I don't get what she thinks she's doing.

Someone explain to me how this is lolita. I'm all for acceptance of every body type, but this isn't lolita.

>>6638554
Is it just me or does she look a hell of a lot like this woman?

>>6638964
It's really not, it's definitely more otome-ish

That said there's nothing really wrong here

>>6638981
Oh I agree, she looks really nice. But it was part of a long "lolita at every size" thing. And I hate it, because I feel like if I point it out, someone will take it as fat hate instead of WHAT ARE YOU DOING hate.

>>6638990
That's strange that she chose that picture, she has tons of actual lolita coords

>>6638964
> I'm all for acceptance of every body type

I'm not! How the fuck do you even get this fat?

>>6638617
rockabilly? How?

Jealous fatty detected.

>>6638559
I think we'd need to know what she was calling this in order to know how bad the situation is.

>>6638990
>because I feel like if I point it out = fat hate
Well why do you have to point out that someone's fat? It would be like pointing out that someone's tall, or has big boobs, or has a light skin color.
Yeah it's true but in a way it's also really annoying/redundant, especially if suddenly brought up in a conversation not even in relation to body size or fashion. Yes, you've got eyes. We know.

>>6639008
by eating 3,000+ calories a day

>>6639058
Anon said she wants to point out that the outfit is not lolita, not that the girl is fat

Are you retarded

>>6639068
Yet we still have posts going "HURR HURR FAT LOLI XD"
It was necessary. QQ harder.

>>6639078
So maybe you should address your posts to them and not to the one person here who doesnt give a shit if she is fat or not

>>6639068
Are you retarded? This lolita, yes lolita, is well known in the plus size fashion for having very good lolita coords for her size. Pic related.
So one outfit wasn't really lolita, can she not post other outfits on her fashion blog? Are you girls retarded? Who the fuck cares?

>>6639068
I'm not the same anon but I do agree it's pretty retarded to point out the obvious. And whinging about that outfit not being lolita when she has dozens of other actual outfits that are lolita sounds like cherry picking.
Maybe she meant lolita inspired. Idk, ask her.

Kinda wondering...What really differentiates bad attempts at J-fashion as opposed to just having no fashion sense?

>>6639100
Nothing.

In order to be a good lolita, you have to have fashion sense. This is why these girls turned out so horribly.

>>6639084
I know she is a fucking lolita, but clearly that outfit that was chosen isn't

As the anon said:
>But it was part of a long "lolita at every size" thing.

It's really not that hard to grasp

>>6639108
>>6639084
>>6639090

Now, now, girls, you can point out your mistakes without calling each other names.

Dollykei has a pretty wide variety of things you can do with your hair and most dollykei girls wear their natural hair and don't use wigs or extensions.... but no.

Just.
No.

>>6639108
Except the part where that's autismal as fuck and nobody gets why you're spergin' out at an outfit that really isn't bad to begin with just because it's mislabeled.

>>6639124
I was pointing out that the original anon didn't give a fuck about how fat the girl was, just that the outfit wasn't lolita. I even said:

>>6639006
>>6638981

>>6638489
>blotchy face
No. That ain't qt.

When will people realize that having their makeup and hair done nicely makes the outfit look polished? This is ESPECIALLY true with alternative styles like j-fashion.

>>6639138
You don't like her, we get it. You don't need to post her in every single ita/bad jfashion thread, it's not working and you're really just giving her more positive attention

>>6639128
So you're not even the same person? Why are you so invested in this? Let it go girl srsly and post more bad fashion.

>>6639145
You wouldn't say that if she were supporting you, would you?

>>6639142
I didn't post her. i just wrote >>6639138.

>>6639145
I'm not? It takes zero effort to post things on 4chan, really. I don't understand this argument of "omg get a life why are you wasting so much time posting something on the internet clearly your life revolves around this now"

>>6639145
You wouldn't say that if the other girl were supporting you, would you?

>>6639162
>people are being mean and telling me to get a life!
Nobody said that. People just think you should calm down and actually post bad fashion in a bad j-fash thread and not 'hahaha omg not lolita!' fashion that isn't bad anyway.
But
>implying this isn't your vendetta

>>6639184
Lol

I said these two things:
>>6639006
>>6638981

I actually like her and her blog. All I said, and all the anon said, was that her outfit was not lolita despite the fact that it was being presented as such. No vendetta here, try again. You can keep arguing with me or you can post bad jfashion as well

>>6639188
>being presented as such
So did she say "This is a lolita outfit," or are you just assuming that because it was posted with a bunch of loliable outfits taken out of context? She posts alternative outfits that aren't lolita all the time. You claim to follow her blog so I guess you don't know that even though you should.

>>6639115
Almost posted this here, too......

I still can't figure out what this person is, honestly.

>>6639190
My statement was based off what the original anon said, >>6638990

The post wasn't from her personal blog

Also, I said I like her blog, not that I read it every day. I've seen posts here and there that I enjoyed. Please keep trying to make this into something it's not

So I take it you would rather argue with me all day than post more bad jfash then?

>>6639194
they seem to think it's dollykei but I think Davey Havok just put himself in a lolita dress and tied a curtain tassel around his neck

>>6639198
>So I take it you would rather argue with me all day than post more bad jfash then?

Oh and you are? You're beating a dead horse hinny, I think you're wrong and you're gonna keep thinking you're right. I'll let you have the last word though since that's clearly what you're after.

>>6639206
>hinny
>honey
>horrible attempt at using baby terms to be condescending

All your credibility has gone completely out the window

I don't mind arguing, I have time to spare.

There's not really a right and wrong here, just the simple fact that the original outfit that was posted isn't lolita. It's a fine outfit and there is nothing wrong with the girl, and neither I nor the original anon care about her being fat. That's all I was saying.

>>6639206
Don't you love the bitches that try to take the highroad by pointing out arguing and off-topic posts but continue to perpetuate the arguing and don't post shit either?

Anyway I'm not sure if people would consider this bad by the fashion's standards but I still find pic related extremely embarrassing.

>>6639218
>horrible attempt at using baby terms to be condescending
You've been condescending this ENTIRE time. Shut up or learn to take a taste of your own sandy cunt. /diff anon

>>6639220
>calling everyone "bitches"
>telling us to take the "high road"
No.

>>6639224
Uh, not really, I'm not attempting to be superior or whatever. It's 4chan.

>>6639220
Lol. I don't really care about being on topic, I misread some of the anon posts and for a second thought that anon was the same one complaining about there being no bad jfashion in the thread, so I was referencing that.

>>6639230
That... wasn't me, but ok

>>6639230
i read it wrong, sorry I'm high

>>6639229
>calling everyone bitches
>implying I'm not just talking about you in particular
>implying it hasn't just been you
Calm down there sperglord.

>>6639218
>All your credibility has gone completely out the window

Hilarious. Like you ever had credibility to begin with. 5/10
Good troll, one might not notice off the bat.

>>6639236
I didn't say anything about myself, I just don't really like arguing with people who use sickly sweet baby names to attempt to be condescending over the internet. It's nauseating.

Not a troll but I will say that /cgl/ loves to argue about crap that doesn't matter almost as much as I do, which means if I'm around and start one that usually the thread will go off topic, aka right now

>>6639244
>which means if I'm around and start one that usually the thread will go off topic
Confirmed for annoying bitch. Can you stop now?

>>6639248
See what I mean? You guys can't resist

Neither can I

The cycle continues

>>6639248
Lol nope, she's still here.

>>6639254

>>6638634
Worst part is, she's the only "lolita" I know of in my area.

>>6638308
That's Jonah Hill.

>>6638617
No, I totally agree, and I'm her size.

>>6639268

Outfit is fine, just kill this 'day of the dead' shit that every loli and their mother tries to pull off.

>>6638351
Every time I see a picture of here I get angry..

>>6638225
Those fucking Forever21 space leggings.

It's a cute outfit. She's just fat.

I will never understand all those pins, candy and other shit some girls put on their hair. It will always look retarded no matter how cute and petite you are.

>>6638272
I think this outfit is cute as fuck

>>6634374
yes, look up "Black Diamond" on tokyo fashion. they call themselve guro gyaru

>>6639058
I pointed out that she was fat because the image was from a blog post/essay about fat acceptance AND wearing lolita at large sizes. Which I'm pretty sure I fucking said. I don't go around pointing out people's weight when I concrit outfits, unlike most people on this board and in this fashion. But the post was about BOTH, TOGETHER. And the pic was NOT. And I was confused, and thought it was a fashion failure. And I was trying to say that I felt if I pointed out a fashion failure I would be accused of fat hate....and was proved correct.

>>6639006
Really?? That makes me feel better about the individual, but then I'm really confused about the pic... maybe the image was just linked wrong or something.

>>6639068
Thank you for getting it.

>>6639084
I wasn't aware she was "well-known", nor was I aware she had other actually lolita outfits. I am still confused as to why she would use that pic to defend plus-size lolita, although perhaps it was reblogged wrong or something, I'm starting to think. I'll try to find the link.

>>6644093
Here it is. I'd seen the pic on a google search for sweet lolita bows or something.
lolita-fashion.com/lolita-fashion-and-body-shape

Obviously that be a stolen pic.

office goth? idk what to call this

>>6644108
Just looks like straight up gothic to me? With crappy hair, but it's just goth and not jfashion at all.

>>6644108
..it's kind of nice if you take away her face? I don't care for the pink jabot or the pink at the bottom, but I do like the shape of the dress and the middle construction.

>>6644108
>>6644124
It's not jfashion, and you're idiots. That's Gothic Charm School's lady of the manners. She's been around forever. She's just goth that likes some pink.

>>6644132
..That's exactly what I said, not jfashion. And her hair looks ratty, deal with it.

>>6644132
Do you know if she make that herself or did she buy it somewhere? It looks like one of the better gothic outfits from F+F. I'd probably switch up the color choices a bit but it's really nice.

>>6632878
http://www.japanesestreets.com/reports/2155/100-coolest-harajuku-looks-of-2012-straight-from-tokyo

it's interesting how hideous some j-fashion attempts are even by japanese people, pic and link related. if a white girl was wearing this the "oh god why" second hand embarrassment factor would be through the roof

>>6638272
cuter than juria tbh

>>6644197
I do think that Kurebayashi or whatever you spell her name is ugly as fuck though. The only time she looks good is when she's stylized the right way on Kera other than that she looks like a Panic at the disco fluokid reject.

>>6644401

Dang, someone's out to get Rune. Seriously PT, it's ok. We get that you feel threatened by black girls, but seriously, chill out.

>>6644401
she's cute even though the fabric looks kinda cheap ...

dat pose is getting old thought and it's not like that girl possesses any kind of chin deformity to hide like Juria

>>6644401
Hey, it's everyone's favorite vendetta-chan! I was wondering when you would be back

How are those secrets that you're making about her coming along?

gross

>>6644388
This, she's really unattractive. I admire her balls to dress the way she does though.

Same with Junnyan or whatever, he's really fug. Can't believe Yukapon supposedly screwed him, but I guess yellow fever.

>>6644388
She needs all that kawaii shit to hide how ugly she is.

>>6644401
Just as Juria uses that stupid hand pose. Worst pose ever, this girl is kawaii as fuck, she should stop.


I was in Topshop once and one of the staff was copying Juria head to toe. It gave my friend and me a hearty chuckle.

>>6644531
I just realised this could be read as me saying Juria is cute or something. Nononono.

>>6644531
Whats wrong with Juria?

>>6638617

I agree as well, you can see where it hits her under her breasts that it just kinda folds and wrinkles, and she at least needs some hips/breasts to fill out that outfit. I am probably skinnier than this girl and have smaller breasts than her and I know how weird clothing that hits you under the boob looks on girls without much going on there.

>>6639124

Are you new here? Have you never been to an ita thread or understand the concept of ita?

>Bad jfash thread

It applies, it is a bad example of lolita and/or not lolita.

>>6643502

I've seen lots of Japanese girls pull it off, I think a lot of Western girls I've seen just don't understand that you actually kind of have to think about the placement of them and how they look with your overall outfit instead of just attaching cute shit to yourself at random and calling it good.

Why is serepuff never mentioned?

serepuff.blogspot dot com

"heh I always have to Kyary a little bit~ Candy Candy pose (~￣▽￣)~"

I hate her blurry pictures! Outfits /MIGHT/ look better with better picture quality. And she can take perfect pictures of practically everything except herself.
Oh well.

Uchuu-kei~

>>6644545
She's gross man

>>6644608
This particular outfit is not THAT bad

>>6638230
Laura is a cyber-goth nothing she does is Japanese in anyway.

What makes me buttmad is that she paid around 250 for this... ensemble. bitch coulda bought some brand instead of this monstrosity.

>>6644826
Should have spent the money on some makeup

>>6644833
and a touch up for dem roots

>>6644844
>>6644833
I don't think there's any way she has enough money to fix her face.

actually I think with a better haircut, a nice deep brown color, a better pair of glasses or contacts, make-up to eliminate the redness and blush to sculpt some cheekbones she'd be pretty cute

she's got a decent face shape, nice lips, and nice brows. not the worst jumping-off point

>>6644870
Oh come on, it's hardly that bad. Makeup could do it.

>>6644877
True..maybe not the worst.

She just looks...worse than average.
Or even average...I think that's almost one of the worst things to be.

>>6644608
Is she wearing a dressing gown?

>>6644927
Do you even cult party?

>>6634229
I think the couple in the back just took a picture of her.

>>6638964
I'm not a lolita, but I adore the cord this girl has with the bright blue tights. Though, I do hate that she holds up all of her skirts for photos instead of just getting a petticoat.

>>6645122
It's hard to fit a proper cupcake shaped petti when you're that big, apparently.

>>6645106

I think her dress is pretty, she's just wearing her wig like a moron and has a serious overbite.

I thought those hideous, pointless dolls went hand-in-hand with lolita shit. Kinda like Juggalos with their Faygo.

>>6644137
I think I read a long time ago that she buys most of her clothes vintage or second-hand, and then adds the embellishments herself.

>>6645220

Some of us wear glasses for, you know, seeing shit.

>>6645263
No shit. And if you have to wear something on your face every day, why not wear something that improves your facial aesthetics? Seriously, it's like the good lord handed you a lemon and you squirted it in your eye.

P.S. don't whine to me about your eyes, wire frames can't even support my delicious thick lenses

>>6645250
Yeah they have quite a history with lolita culture.

>>6645106
Is it wrong that I'm more offended with the dollfie's shitty look. Can't see it's face, but I bet there's some ugly-ass smudgy shit in there.

Her dress is not the best, but it's like anna house quality, nothing milanoo-ish. With proper make-up and accessories she could rock it even with this haircolor.

>>6645272

Oh god I know. I also wear glasses and whenever I see someone with those horrific wire prescription-looking glasses I'm just like, why, I am sure the place you bought these from had some decent looking glasses, I mean shit I got my thick frames from the Walmart vision center because shit was cheap, and they look just like any thick frames you get elsewhere. Why of all those frames you would pick those, I just don't even know, man. I've only ever seen people who are pretty much beautiful and can look good with anything look good with them, or old people.

>>6645335
Yeah, they used to be the majority of the selection back in the 90s when I was 10 and got my first pair of glasses, unless your script hasn't changed since then (which is unlikely unless you were already in your 20s then) there's no excuse now. I might only be able to afford one pair of glasses with the ridiculous price of my lenses, but I make sure not to get frames that look like arse.

>>6645356

You can get nice frames for cheap and take them into a place and have them put prescription lenses in, that is what my room mate does.

>>6645388
No matter how cheap the frames, it doesn't change the fact that my lenses are $400 a pop. I don't skimp on frames anyway since I'd really hate for my lenses to get damaged because of the frame breaking/failing in some way.

>>6634198
This one isn't that bad for jstreet aside from the platform running shoe look.

>>6645392

Oh no what I mean is generally the frame places like Lens Crafter and other places tend to sell really expensive frames that are just as nice frames you can get elsewhere for a lot cheaper, you just have to go in and have them put your prescription lenses in for you.

>>6645281
>Is it wrong that I'm more offended with the dollfie's shitty look
Yes. It's a black doll, so that means you're racist and think it looks like shit only because it's black.

>>6645392
>my lenses are $400 a pop
....why?

God, there are so many people calling "vendetta" and "jealous fatty" on here. These people are not being posted for their looks/personality but for their outfits which anyone can clearly see are not polished or simply outright horrid. Most girls are cute but dressed poorly/have terrible makeup and the latter is what people are criticising.

>>6645335
> tfw my kawaii as fuck, perfect frames are discontinued and nothing else is quite the same

>>6645424
Oh, quit whining, you twit. Nobody here is like that.

>>6644608
oh i like that one...

>>6645426
I get the highest density lenses I can for aesthetics/weight, since I have pretty shitty eyes and even with the high density my lenses are about 7mm thick at the edges on a small/regular size frame.
And probably the biggest factor is that I usually order through the optometrist and that's in NZD and probably includes shipping/taxes/mark-up. I've never ordered glasses online (although I did look into it) because I usually try on a gazillion pairs of frames before I find one that suits me, and Murphy's law says that whichever frame it is isn't stocked online anywhere that will also do the 1.74 index density lenses. I am due for another eye check/pair of glasses though as I got these ones in 2010, so hopefully it isn't that much any more.

>>6645450
>>6645426
Yeah, my lenses are really expensive, too. I get the thinnest lenses possible and my right lens is still 9mm thick. I just got my glasses last February, though, so I won't be due for new ones anytime soon.

Mine aren't quite $400 a lens, though, it's more like $250 for the right and $150 for the left, so around $400 for both, plus the cost of the frames, which is on average around another $100.

>>6645441
I know that feel bro. I had one pair of frames I just wouldn't let go of; three times I made them put new lenses in the same frames.

>>6645433
Jealous fatty detected

>>6645455
yeah, I meant $400 for both, my bad, my wording is weird. It sounds like your script might be higher than mine though so if my eyes haven't gotten too much worse I might be okay! I really want new glasses as all the paint has chipped off mine - they now look silver which is fine, but they were nicer before.

>>6645499
My frames are like plastic and bamboo or something like that.

>>6645461
I love this image/gif, it's so dramatic. Like a huge Hollywood billboard announcing the Titanic movie.

>>6645455

Dang, what power are you?

My lenses are plastic and stuff, and I think I paid something like $250 for a pair last time? (It was buy 1 get one free, so I got two, but still damn expensive considering I only wear one at a time and I have to get my eyes checked every so often. Despite being well past the age I should get worse, my eyes still get worse). I'm currently -7.5/-8 in the left, -6.0 in the right. Shit's bad son.

>>6645530
Girl, have you not seen Eva? Go watch Eva.

>>6645539
I'm not sure, I always loose my prescription cards almost immediately after an exam.

But basically past six inches in front of my face, regular sized text on a 13" monitor is very difficult to read without my glasses, and at a foot it's completely impossible to read.

>>6645564
*lose
My bad.
Fuck I hate that.

>>6645564
okay so just for fun I took off my glasses to see how I compared...5-6" away from the screen is as far as I can get without straining to read what I'm typing right now. My script's -8.00/-9.25 with some random numbers that indicate a mild-moderate astigmatism, but I'm due for another eye check and I think my eyes are worse now since I find myself pushing my glasses up my nose and straining to see a bit at times.

I have wire frames. They're dark metallic brown. I think they look pretty good on me. Well as good as I can look anyway. I hope there aren't people who actually think I look bad based on the fact that I'm not wearing some trendy frame.

I have no idea what my prescription is. It's been so long since I got these. They're really outdated. But I compensated before I got them so I can make due with them not being very helpful now. I know it's bad for my eyes but I don't know what kind of coverage I have now. When I got them everything was covered. Then I lost my HMO.

Anyway, I don't really take into account the girls glasses or frame style in these pics. I just don't think it matters much. Maybe it's because I don't think of glasses as being a fashion accessory. If anything I prefer them to be subtle and not stand out. But if they do I just don't take it into account.

>>6647229
I have a lolita friend who has glasses likeyou described, and on her they're a good choice. Out of lolita, I can see they might be for practical reasons, but she wears classic and it really goes. I have brown plastic frames, which I thought about working better with classic, since I wear it most.

>>6647229
Post face.

Glasses are a thing you're wearing. I don't understand the mentality that we're supposed to pretend they don't exist. They make a HUGE impact on your face.

>>6638351
I thought black people didn't age

>>6645426
Former optician here, this isn't unreasonable for extremely high-powered lenses. I quit almost one year ago so I forgot the name but even the wholesale price is about $200. They're for prescriptions over -5.00 or so.

That said, I am kind of tired of Buddy Holly hipster glasses and miss petite metal frames and old-fashioned oval lenses. Pic sort of related.

It doesn't hurt to take them off for photos when you're dressed to the nines in lolita or whatever though.

High index in a 1.74, that was it. http://www.eyewearbrands.com/prescription%20lenses/

If your prescription is over -5.00 I would say avoid chains like Lenscrafters because some of them can't get as good a lens (depends on how much money they pull in, some of them can't afford to get deals from the good manufacturers like Essilor that makes the 1.74). If you can find a local optician who who does all the work him or herself, that's the way to go but maybe my opinion is colored from working for a private practice with a single owner.

I CAN confirm there are varying degrees of quality amongst Lenscrafters though based on which chains were getting which brands of lenses and frames.

>>6647079
One of my eyes had a really bad astigmatism and the other has almost no astigmatism but is extremely nearsighted.

>>6647249
>tired of square and oval frames
So what are you a fan of then, Lennon-frames?

>>6647229
I actually don't get the hate for plain wire frames? My current glasses are pink wire (which I haven't changed in 6 years, I should do that...) and whenever I try wearing plastic frames they look really tacky on me. Not to mention that since plastic frames tend to be thicker, and my face is pretty small, so they make me look kind of bug like, even the smaller frames. And I also tend to be rough on my glasses (dropping them or accidentally sitting or lying on them etc) so it would break.

Dunno I guess I'm just one of those who doesn't see the point of having fashionable frames and don't mind subtle glasses on people.

>>6645392
A lot of name brands are meaningless (with some exceptions -- Chanel, Prada, and Cartier make incredible eyewear for example although of course they're made in Italy and France respectively). 75% of them are all made in the same couple of factories in China anyway. Check the inside of the frame to see where they're manufactured.

It's really all about how you handle them, though. Always take them off and put them on with both hands, keep them in a case whenever they're not being worn, don't leave them in a freezing or boiling car (temperature can warp zyl very easily -- in fact, my boss had this heated "sand pit" I called it full of hot, tiny plastic beads; we would dip frames into it before adjusting them or to add or remove the lenses).

>>6645222
I know a ton of lolitas that hate BJDs. They're not as intertwined as you think.

OKAY DONE sorry.

>>6647267
It's quite possible they look better on you with thick frames, but I think often people are just overly hesitant to switch up their frames. YOu get used to seeing your face a certain way and everything else looks off.

>subtle
They're really not subtle though.

>>6647267
They're not in fashion anymore. I have a very small face as well and my plastic frames are a brand called Micro Shapes (and it's discontinued and I use them for cosplay so if they ever break I will be upset.

On the plus side, three-piece rimless -- the kin with no frame at all -- do have a following, it's just mostly older people. I've had a couple teens and 20-somethings get them though. One of my friends wears them with lolita because they're subtle enough.

>>6647264
I'm not tired of square and oval frames, I said I'm tired of Buddy Holly hipster glasses -- specifically gigantic ones too large for teenage girls' faces.

I prefer catseye and oval-shaped for zyl and oval and round for metal, yeah. Preferably in colors other than black and tortoise.

Pic is one of my (two) pairs of glasses. It has the heavier, more fashionable look of plastic but A. metal B. balanced out by being semi-rimless. The picture doesn't really do them justice, I have them in a dark purple.

I was just looking at some older pictures of me in my old glasses; I know why I miss them so much! Since they're discontinued I can't get them anymore, but by chance found the perfect replacement, only to find they're not in stock anywhere! All of my tears.

>>6647266
I'm not so concerned about name brand as the material it's made of, since I am one of those people who will just have accidents with their glasses despite trying to be careful. I seem to be best with titanium frames, not sure if it's the metal or that the styles they come in lend themselves to being robust or something. Despite this, I've only ever irreparably broken 2 of the 7 pairs of glasses I've owned so far, and oddly enough they were both the metal wire types.

>>6647267
metal wire isn't subtle though...

>>6638242
Whats wrong with this picture...oh.
Well...she'd be pretty without the crappy lip makeup.

>>6644388
Really? I think she's pretty adorable.

>>6647270
>>6647274
>>6647286
I think wire frames can be subtle if they're half-frames. Ymmv though.

My dad personally wears rimless glasses, I've tried them and they make me look old. I want a pair of vintage-style cat eye frames, but I don't want to buy them online without trying them first and no one in this country sells frames like those and if they do they cost over $150, bleh.

/saged for derailing

>>6647286
They're almost all made of zyl or titanium, unless you pay $900+ for Cartier or Gold & Wood which are made of expensive hard woods (probably from South American rain forests).

>>6647284
Love these. I want to say Vera Wang is relatively common brand, you could try calling around and asking if they A. carry it B. Have that frame in stock. We got calls like that fairly regularly.

>>6647329
I'm guessing you're not in the US? That's too bad. My noss was practically a hoarder so we had a wonderful collection of vintage unsold glasses from the 1960s. So many great colors and they all had such cute accents and falir. The majority of people don't want any sort of decoration on the temples (the arms) or the front.

The thing about full rimless glasses is that the lens can be just about ANY shape because all that matters is that the shape can withstanding having holes drilled into it to mount the temples and bridge. They probably made you look old because they were a shape that flattered a mature man's face. If you got something like >>6647284 they could be cute and subtle.

"gyaru" and "decora" tags on Instagram are a fucking goldmine sometimes.
I'll dump what I have.

Wow, I thought I had more, but I guess not.
This is the last one.

hdu mani is a godess

>>6638660
She was actually chubby when she was running weeaboo stories though. It's only like in the past year or so that she's lost any significant amount of weight.

Ikeda is simply the worst

>>6638543
I actually kind of like the repetition.

>>6647753
I don't really get the draw of her either. She has a cool looking face but her styling is always really confusing, I can't even figure out what her style *is*.

>>6638559
least shit so far, still shit

>>6647735
What's funny to me is how these girls often dress like poor people from China/ former Soviet Bloc, who only dress that way because they can't afford any better.

>>6647734
>>6647737

Good god, what is it with these white chicks doing their makeup like this?
Your nose is HUGE AS FUCK, stop contouring it like that!
EYEBROWS.
One is almost non-existant, one is too much. If they could get a perfect "in the middle" it would be fine.
Someone needs to slap the terrible makeup and duck lips off these girls' faces.
I'm not too sure if the first one would ever look pretty without a fuckton of filters/high contrast to hide that nose/mustache, but the second girl has potential. At least in my eyes.

>>6647809
I am also of the opinion that those with high noses shouldn't contour so much, but I watched this one international gyaru video thing where a bunch of gaijin gyaru gave tips to be better at gyaru which made me think about it a little more.

She said that in her opinion the contouring and highlighting makes the difference between being a western girl and a western gyaru.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrYRmdnMBsA

@4:50 is where the girl starts talking.

I don't like over the top contouring, so I don't do it, but this may be the motivation for a lot of western gyaru who do.

>>6647819
>>6647819
Some western girls have noses that can take this kind of makeup without looking fucking dumb.
The girls I was ranting about, however do not.
Whether this video was their motivation or not, it needs to stop. Or at least, girls need to be more informed about contouring/highlighting and the effects it has on certain parts of the face. Also, the chick explaining nose contouring has a flatter nose herself, so she can get away with it. I do agree with the fact that contouring and highlighting is very necissary when doing proper gyaru style, but again, people need to know where contouring should go and not go.
Most of the westerners that contour only do it because it's something that is shown in every gyaru magazine out there. It drives me up the wall.

Sorry if it seems like I'm getting upset at you, Anon, I'm really not. This stuff just make me rage too hard sometimes.

>>6638242
She only needs to learn how to shape her lips properly, nothing more.

>>6647866
Her whole face looks like a bad Betty Boop cosplay. The blush, lipstick, and eye make-up are all insanely unflattering.

>>6647734
Is that... is that a mustache?

>>6647886

>Bad Betty Boop cosplay

...I don't see any of that aside from the lipstick. She could've gone for a more subtle blush, but the eyes are fine.

>>6647905
I didn't notice it before, but it looks like shadow...
Captcha: oahnice Granny!

>>6647886
I think the eyes could be less racoon-y but the rest of it is perfectly fine to me.

>>6647913
Oh God... why would you put shadow in there?

>>6647905
Oh my god, I didn't even notice that.
This picture is now 10x worse.

>>6647905
I noticed it before but I don't know what that is either.

>>6647790
Thats the problem with the incessant need to label styles.

>>6647936
I don't mean a label... I mean a style. A point of view. Looking at anyone's styling choices and wardrobe, you should at least be able to pick out a thread of their line of thinking, some kind of personality.

With her, it's so all over the place I can't even figure out what her point of view is.

That's what 'style' means outside of jfashion, lol.

>>6647958
good god ew

This is so horrible Jnig why?

>>6647960
Why hasn't she gotten rhinoplasty yet? Seriously, it would make her so much less of a butterface.

>>6647958
>the other lolita

>>6638543
maybe if she were wearing pink shoes it would look more coordinated.

>>6639084
she actually looks really cute i think... I mean her face isnt the best, but her look is pretty adorable actually

>>6647972
It's not that it's uncoordinated, it's that there's way too much going on, which is why most of us are saying she needs to change/remove either the leggings or that top.

>>6647962
I guess you can post a picture of your `perfect` nose then?

>>6647962
I guess you can post a picture of your `perfect` nose then right?

>>6648038
If I had the money to throw away, I would probably get it, too. I feel like the bridge of my nose is too big, but I'm quite happy with it from a portrait perspective.

>>6647943
I agree, it screams no personality to me tbh.
That or she just wants attention from Tokyo Fashion by wearing ugly expensive shit.

Her old style was more coordinated.

>>6648040
One to talk about butterface, you look like Rachel.

>>6648073
Wow you're right, she looks so much better here! I wonder if being picked up by the fashion snaps did change the way she dresses...

Like I don't mind weird shit for the sake of doing it to express oneself, that's sometimes all I like about the ones that wear all sorts of crazy shit. What bothers me is, as you suggest, her doing it for attention instead.

>>6648076
I don't understand what you're trying to do there. Are you trying to insult me by comparing me to a girl? Wouldn't it be more effective to compare me to another guy who's ugly? Try harder, Anon.

>>6648079
People like Hirari & Juria get paid to wear clothes for street snaps, and TF gets paid to shot them.
Most street snaps, even for magazines, are staged.

>>6647753
The thing that bothers me most about her style is the damn hooker heels every time. She has another pair of pink ones which I see her wearing frequently that just kill every outfit. From the feet up she looks strange but it's androgynous and it works for me. Then she just had to add the flashy hooker heels. Some styles can be a pleasant surprise when combined but she always picks the absolute worst shit.

>>6648079
I saw this pic the other day and i legit gasped.
Like who the fuck wear a 6 arms sweater ? TheTokyo Fashion staff probably fainted in front of so much grunge fashion.

>>6648100
She's 1m45, i guess that's why ... But yeah, she could wear cuter platforms. Those JC are plain outdated anyway.

>>6648101
If only that were just a normal oversized sweater, it would look perfect. But no, she has arms growing out of her boobs.

>>6648101
Please read >>6648086
She gets paid to wear it, they get paid to take her picture

>>6648101
the pictures on her leggings are very similar to symbols used historically (in japan) to represent vaginas. She's wearing fuckingt vagina leggings,

>>6648321
The brand that makes the tights is called "Vive Vagina"

>>6648290
Are you retarded, she works at Dogs Harajuku, she wears 100% of her clothes because she has a discount.

>>6648990

>>6648990
She gets paid to advertise the store by wearing their clothes (probably on loan for the day), of which photos are taken by paid photographers.
