Pants. Some may be from last thread

>>8547347
Nevermind computer fizzing out
can't dump pics

I really want this, I feel like I could easily work it into a fairy kei outfit.

>>8547444
I want that dress

>>8547461
It's on the expensive side but JapanLA has a few clothing items in collaboration with Yurie Sekiya.

>>8547347
Let's try this again.
Chrome fix out for anyone else or just me?

Bump

Can people even successfully thrift for fairy kei? Every time I see a "thrifted" outfit for fairy kei, it doesn't look anything remotely jfashion.

>>8551631
For main pieces, I say no. Thrifting in Japan is totally different than thrifting in another country. Most do it in shops catered towards street fashion whilst in other countries you're more likely to find a droopy cardigan from Aunt Mabel. Not to say that you cannot find a bargain, but I hate it when newbies are consistently told to thrift and all they end up with is pastel granny clothes.

>>8551631
I've seen sweaters or cardigans in the UK thrifted successfully, but things like cute socks, dresses or skirts are hard to find. Someone suggested a malco mode petticoat for fairy kei, but I doubt it would look even close to an actual outfit.

>What got you into fairy-kei?
my friend linked me to shop-cute and i was drawn to the fairy kei section. i didn't have a very good idea of what it was at first (i was picking up on more bobon21 style stuff) but thankfully i researched more before ordering my first items.

>Do you prefer thrifting or buying clothes made for the fashion, or both?
i massively prefer how clothing made for the style looks. like >>8551847 said, thrifting is different in different countries. here in the uk primark is a fairy kei haven when the season is right and i've seen people pull off all high street-wear coords but i generally only get casual filler pieces from there (plain pastel sneakers to deco, the odd shirt, etc). i try and do a massive taobao haul with ott-fairy stuff once every six months and then stick to fairy kei sales.

>What is your favorite trend in fairy-kei? What's your least favorite?
i love how pumpkin pants and otks look together, and i really like the look of customised items, like skirts with badges on. i'm also a fan of sorta edgy fairy kei. call me a weeb but i love how chokers and studded pink platforms look with fluffy skirts and cute printed shirts.
i was the anon bitching about this in the last thread but i despise super short shorts in this fashion. mid thigh length? fine. above knee length? fine. pumpkin pants? fine. i love wearing shorts in pastel colours and i think they look adorable if done right but i literally cannot stand really short shorts, it just doesn't carry the aesthetic.

>What are some good fairy-kei YouTube channels or blogs?
i have yet to come across a solely fairy kei youtube channel (i have my own but i'm not posting that for obvious reasons) but i really adore lovely lor's videos. she mostly wears lolita but she has done fairy kei/decora and j-fash inspired outfits and she's generally just fun to watch. i like some of mahouprince's fk coords but their decora isn't my thing. phoenix-okazaki also has cute fk coords that i take inspo from.

>>8552693
I love me some Primark. I often wonder if they follow Jfashion on some level as depending on the season they seem to cater to mori girl, pastel goth, items that would work with otome and have had so much pastel/fairy kei-able items.

>>8552693
> Pumpkin pants and otks
Yeah there isn't enough of this. Fairy-tips on tumblr also says that short shorts aren't right for fairy kei, but by short shorts do you mean above mid thigh or butt/crotch level?

>>8553967

>>8553967
by short shorts i mean like festival-length, the ones that look like they're constantly riding up the jayjay.

pic related, no matter how pastel they are i never think they look appropriate in fk.

>>8555298
I agree. Just wear bloomers instead

>>8555301
bloomers/pumpkin pants look 10x cuter imo. they work with otks and socks in ways that denim shorts just....don't.

Unpopular opinion: I don't think any shade of brown hair can work very well with fairy kei. Blonde lightens up the whole outfit, black provides a cute contrast, pastel colors speak for themselves, but I've never loved seeing brown wigs used no matter how cute the style is.

>>8556304
Hmm really? I'm surprised you differentiated black and brown, usually people group dark colors together. What about really dark browns, near black but not quite there yet?

Pic related.

>>8556400
Going to dump all the black hair I have.

>>8556402
does Princess Peachie count as black or dark brown?

I'm out.

I'm gonna dump Aliexpress listings with fairy kei suitable stuff since AE doesnt let you share wishlists (i will try to limit the number of overpriced taobao stuff)

Inspiration for longer skirts?

>>8564682
I never realized until you posted that, but wow, nearly all of my folder is short skirts/shorts

>>8564753

>>8564755

Does this work for fairy kei?

>>8564757

>>8564760
It should work, but remember that one item does not make it a fairy kei coordinate. The sleeve style and the draping shirt half works very well with the fairy kei aesthetic.

>>8547523

>>8564753
Anybody have a source for this skirt?

>>8564769
Glad I am on the right track at least. I'm looking for solid pieces like this to get started.

>>8564771
so cute. needs a pink tool belt with pastel tools.

>>8564760
That's mad cute anon
Sauce?

>>8547444
>>8547461
>>8547477
I have it and love it. Saved up for it since, realistically, most things by Yurie Sekiya are going to be expensive once shipping's involved and this is the cutest design. None of the other collab items look nice to me, which is a bummer. The fabric on this is really nice and soft and the print is BRIGHT as fuck, which is perfect.

I'd like to incorporate it into a fairy kei outfit but it's hot as balls here and I'm low on summer ideas.

>>8564779
It works well, good choice. I'll post whatever plain-ish pieces I have for inspiration

>>8564824
you can go for a silhouette like pic related with a petti right underneath

>>8564825

>>8564826

>>8564793
http://world.taobao.com/item/21691511875.htm
It's a plus size shop. Most of it is pretty simple, but there are a lot of flowy chiffon pieces available in pastel colors.

>>8564835
Thanks! I'll be adding it to my next order

Semi OT but how do I order from Pink Latte? I got nearly all the way through the checkout process with my Tenso address, but then it told me I hadn't filled in the fields for my credit card information even though I had..? Has anyone else had this problem?

Does anyone have any fairy kei tutorials?

Also, thoughts on light jean jackets in a coord?

>>8564890
Jean jacket are cute depending on the wash. Light/acid preferred.

>>8556403
Hard to tell, partly because most hair that's considered black are a very very dark brown.

>>8564862
If you're using Tenso, then Emiiichan (on blogspot) has a guide which probably has a solution to your problem.

>>8564890
Kawaii-pateen on youtube has a lot of makeup videos, with quite a few fashion ones (ignore the cosplay).

>>8564890
Someone made this tutorial

About light jean jackets, the acid wash look is good.

>>8565291
Thank you for the advice! I tried it again and it just worked this time for some reason, don't know what I did differently.
So excited to get these!

>>8565517
Mad cute anon, good buy

>>8565517
Where did you buy them? They're perfect.

>>8566750
Thank you!

What's your favorite legwear for fairy kei?

I dabble in fairy kei and pastel goth influenced fashions because when I was a kid in the 90s I wore almost exclusively pastels after my hardcore tomboy phase. Then I had a casual sportwear phase but kept everything pastel and still have the shoes, visors, caps and baggy sweaters etc. After my emo phase drifted into victorigoth and lolita, discovering sweet lolita brought me back to the beginning of loving pastels whilst the pieces have huge crossover potential. All my fairy kei stuff is thrifted or offbrand but my style is a blend of influences so I can't call it fairy kei 'proper'

>>8567326
Thank you anon how very informative I'll let the media know right away

>>8567326
Cool story bro

>>8567326
thx fr sharin

>>8567326
why is this so funny..

>>8567326
This is great read aloud.

>>8556294
I'm in love with this

> What would you like to change in fairy kei (community, active members, internet presence, style, etc.)?
pls remove tumblr influence. if i could i'd ban anyone posting utter shit in the fairy kei tags from ever posting. like no. it's not fairy kei. don't shit up the tag.

i guess, while i like the small community, i'd add more people. i want it to be something big like lolita where there's a bloodbath with every new milklim release and people have fairy kei comms and meets.

> If there was ever a fairy kei brand that made it big in the west and more "normies" began to know it in a weird way like lolitas and living dolls, how would you deal/react?
it depends what they saw us as. i'd be cool with stuff like "80's throwback girls" (hell, even "fairy girls" would be fine). but if it was something weird or negative the responses would be different. there's not much to say about it other than "fluffy pastels". maybe if people started calling it ageplay or some weird child kink i'd be offended.

> What are your favorite brands to buy from? Have you ever made accessories/clothing/etc yourself?
i love love love milklim. i want all the milklim burando. occasionally i make accessories but i can't sew for shit so i wouldn't attempt making anything from scratch, but i have customised things.

> What separates fairy kei brands from normie brands other than print?
the colours and styles are important. a lot of normie brands use dusty pastels rather than vibrant ones, and most shirts, for example, are more fitted than oversized. i've never seen some of the cuts that some fk wear has in normie clothes either.

> Selfpost challenge optional: Make the most tumblr version of fairy kei out of your closet
pic related. not me, maybe i'll put something together later, but this is the most "tumblr" fk pic i could find, and by tumblr i mean "threw on a pastel something and jeans, fuck it". this isn't even casual fairy.

I know that mahou kei is a fairy kei substyle. Does anyone have an opinion as to whether or not there would be a demand for like, magic wands? I've been making toy wands lately. I'm still trying to hone my process but they're about a foot and a half long and about an inch thick.

>>8556294
is this a human in a mask or a doll
i legit cant tell

>>8570492
human in a mask. I doubt anyone has a doll that big

I'm trying to achieve a certain school/preppy inspired look for Fairy Kei. Pic-related is what I'm aiming for. I could take up crocheting and make lots of cute sailor collars. Would varsity jackets work as well? Also is there a way to get magical girl inspired accessories? (excl. Starlight Deco Dreams). Thanks in advance. If this turns well, I can really get stuck in the fairy kei community again.

>>8570658
I don't mean to be rude but I don't see how any of that is school/preppy inspired?

>>8570674
I was going to add a varsity jacket but I couldn't find one exactly in the color I wanted.

fairy kei looks so stupid.

>>8570699
Ok, mate.

>>8568532
> pls remove tumblr influence
Thank you, I am very much done with pastel tee shirts over leggings and not-quite-decora being slapped with fairy kei.

Also that tumblr picture. Ugh. Why those pants of all things?

>>8561516
> What would you like to change in fairy kei (community, active members, internet presence, style, etc.)?
More of a presence for sure. Fairy kei threads are always dying quickly on here, and it doesn't get much good activity on western websites either (it's all decora fairy or bad "hipster pastel").
> If there was ever a fairy kei brand that made it big in the west and more "normies" began to know it in a weird way like lolitas and living dolls, how would you deal/react?
I probably wouldn't care. So long as there's a surge in fairy kei fans and I can get brand (milklim would be my pick) nearby, I'm fine.
> What are your favorite brands to buy from? Have you ever made accessories/clothing/etc yourself?
I've made bows and wristcuffs myself, and stuck cabochons on ring bases. Milklim is my favorite brand, but I love 6% Doki rings.
> What separates fairy kei brands from normie brands other than print?
The shape and texture. Fairy kei brands just have that flowy feeling that normie brands just can't reach.

Does anyone have examples of handmade fairy-kei main pieces aside from Pinkly Ever After? I like PEA but I've seen them before.

>>8564783
That's such a cute idea anon!

>>8564771
Is this from Milklim? Are there any other brands that makes overalls like these?

>>8568532
>>8570918
Preach. I'm so tired of that Tumblr unicorn vomit. In the beginning it was funny. But now people think that's what fairy kei is about and mimic it terrible.

Anyone do a review of the bodyline skirt related? My friend got it in black and doesn't like it too much, but I love it in purple.

>>8581942
I think it looks really cute in every other colour way but black.

>>8581942
I own it in black,not to be worn with fk thought. It's fine I guess? Good quality as far as bodyline goes.

>>8581942
I want it too but purple is sold out though, has been for a long long time.

Anyone buy anything fairy kei from bodyline with the sale?

>>8592584
Some of their cutsews work. Same with their Pettis.

What's the best way to work denim into an outfit

Do you think these could work in a coord?

>>8602856

I am honestly terrified that anyone shops at JCPenney.

>>8602858
What's wrong with JCPenney?

I've picked up some cute sweaters for Nanchatte before.

>>8547500
I don't care how old this thread is but that outfit is diamonds

>>8602858
Everything we buy is made in China, why does it matter if we buy it from a normalfag store or a kawaii magical Japanese store.

>>8602856
I can't see them working for Fairy kei honestly

>>8603047
Not that anon but
Honestly, the quality of mall clothes is pretty shit. Sure, it's very likely ita coming from china/Thailand or where ever, but it's not worth the price. Plus their stuff moves really fast as most normalfags wear it. It's just not a fantastic place to shop.

>>8603152
Whoa... meant it's not ita... yes ita is in my autocorrect hah..

>>8602856
They wouldn't work for fairy kei. If you can't find patterned pastel tights, normal tights and layered socks still create a very fairy look.

Is 30 to old to wear Fairy key? I want to have a go at it for a con. To be fair, almost everyone thinks I'm 24 when they don't know my real age.
I know I can count on your brute honesty, /cgl/

pic related, I want a hoodie like this

>>8605156
also this tshirt

>>8605156
Do you feel too old? You won't get an exact answer since everyone has their own opinions about "what is too old".

>>8605166
Not at all, in fact I feel like I act and think way too childish for my age. And then there's no one believing me when I say I'm 30. Sometimes I think my parents lied to me about my age, haha.
When I think about my age though, I do feel old.

Sorry for offtopic, here's some fairy key from aliexpress

>>8605185
Anon, just buy some stuff and wear them at home. Aliexpress isn't expensive and autumn is on its way in my hemisphere. If you like it in person, then go to a con, if not, just keep them to schlep around the house.

>>8605192
yeah you're right. thanks for the tip, anon!

>>8605185
Are you me? Can you post links?

>>8605275
ofcourse, anything for myself haha
