I love finding videogames at goodwill. Especially the PS1 and PS2 games. Found a copy of Guitaroman and Megaman Legends at Goodwill.

>>7064475
Right. I'm actually really grateful for all the help I'm getting, even from the anon I'm arguing with(I guess you press enough buttons you can get some decent answers.

I think I've generally been able to get so far.

Natural black/darker brown looks better on me. I need to shape and fill my eyebrows more. Naturally they're too sparse looking.

I Need to better invest in conturing my makeup. My current makeup is too flat looking and a lot of it is getting lost in photos.

Keep working towards learning to put false eyelashes in, and invest in checking out gyaru/ulzzang eye makeup tutorial to help better bring out my eyes.

Sideswept bangs look better on me, and to invest in clip on bangs, and extensions to help bring volume to my thin hair.

Keep taking pictures of me in different things to see if something actually does look good on me or not.

>>7064433
I can't thicken my bang fringe even if I wanted too. If I tried that, I wouldn't have enough to even frame the side of my face.

Also, I may think something looks good, but it doesn't necessarily mean it actually DOES look good on me. That's why I'm asking for opinions and help in the first place. I'd rather not make a mistake and end up butchering my hair and be stuck with even worse hair.

>>7064379
and also it'd be nice if people read.

>and yes, I'm leaving my face in since I'd like better recommendations for hair style, color, or at least wigs that' will flatter my face.

You're stating something I already know and would like suggestions to improve. Not just "You need to style your hair" I know my hair needs style, I want HELP and recommendations on styles in the first place

>wear some goddamned make-up

Why do people always assume I'm not. This happened in the photos of my Sailor Jupiter cosplay. I'm wearing makeup. Eyeshadow, mascara, lipstick, blush, foundation, powder, concealer. You can even see the blush in the photos. I wear lighter color makeup and the lipstick is gone because it wore off through the day. I prefer lighter colors.

Also instead of just telling me to style my hair, make suggestions of HOW to style my hair or even give me a suggestion wigs you think would work. People don't always know what will flatter their features.

>brolita

But yeah, They keep popping up, one down the road from me opened up recently. Anaheim and Buena park are really crawling with them.

>>7064260
Yeah. I really feel like the color is to bright, even if they do match up with the blue in the jsk. They were originally black and I repainted them to the blue, so I could always repaint them again to a pink or cream color. Pink I think would be better, especially if I brought in tights with light colors, but cream might be more versatile.

I usually prefer full length sleeves since my upper arms are fairly fat. I was wondering if I should consider investing in some chiffon long sleeve blouses for hotter weather since short sleeve doesn't look that good on me(Or at least stuff down to my elbows are better)

I do actually like using wigs too, it's just on the super hot days today, I opted for my regular hair instead. Hopefully this might give you a better idea on my skin tone. I've at least gotten a little more sun. I think my hair is a medium brown color(more noticeable in the sun then indoor lighting)

I've got some false eyelashes, and I'm still getting used to trying to wear them. I curl my eyelashes, and use illegal length mascara, but it really doesn't do enough, or wears out after awhile so it looks like I'm not wearing any at all. Happened today since I opted out of falsies. My poor eyes were watering today.

The thread has fallen pretty far down. I'll go ahead and bite.

I wore this today and well, you can see, I still need a lot of help with babies first coord.

Stuff I'm already noting on needing to fix. the dead obvious being a decent petticoat. You can see how terribly deflated mines is in the photo Switching the shrug for a different one(if I wear one), different tights(I have to get plus size because of my fat size)

The shoes match up with the blue in Alice's dress on the JSk, but I think I need a hat with a blue ribbon in the same color to better balance, or just switch to pink shoes. I also had some lace gloves I WAS going to wear with it, but I couldn't find them.

Also I like the short sleeve blouse, but should I change the sleeves? I think them being so small doesn't work with my arms.

and yes, I'm leaving my face in since I'd like better recommendations for hair style, color, or at least wigs that' will flatter my face. That is my natural hair and unfortunately, it's super thin so I'm very limited on what I can do with it. Also, sorry about my makeup, watery eyes, and going lighter on it since it's been a hot day and I really didn't want to go to heavy on my layers.

I love thrift shopping, especially since there's so many different thrift shops in my area. Orange county is crawling with them, not just major ones like Goodwill, but smaller independently owned places. One of my favorite finds was a pair of cute boots I paid $4 for a friend at a Foster Care Auxiliary run one.

I'm always hunting for loliable shoes and blouses at thrift stores. Also I've had luck finding bridal petticoats. I've got one I've taken apart and I'm making into a new petticoat. I've had luck and found a few pieces. The blouse in this picture is a thrift store find. I should probably consider replacing the sleeves, but it's the only short sleeve blouse I have atm.

I'm trying to gradually increase the kawaii in my life I'm sick of jeans and t-shirts.

I decided to say fuck it and use the gold sari fabric from Joann's I bought years ago. So this shit was shiny man. Hard mode since I wore this at ax. Still need to add some missing details.

I feel like people always forget Belle had more then two outfits in the movie.

You can try finding a new one. I paid a few bucks for mine without the cards from a lady that runs a shop(she's an old anime fan that sells a lot of anime figures and other stuff.) I have it on my bookcase with the Sakura doll I bought from a friend.

>>7037856
My husband and I are Jing fans. I'm envious you even have one. Then again, I'm just being lazy and haven't made one.

at Por'vore plush.

I think you and me need to become friends anon.

>Personalized prints of a family's coat of arms.
Can you imagine somebody with a one of a kind print based of their own family's coat of arms? It'd be expensive as hell, but so personal and meaningful to a person. Mines would end up being red, black, silver, and gold.

And OP I personally think twinning is pretty awesome. And he'll, even if you end up wearing the same dress by mistake, I think it'd be fun to compare how you coord the outfit, share ideas, and maybe come up with some new ones.

>>7012946
Pardon, I meant jeans, a tshirt, and some comfy sneakers.

If I'm not cosplaying, I try to either wear lolita, a cute outfit in general, or if I want to be comfy like all the times I had to do booth setup and breakdown, a pair of jeans, sneakers, and some comfy sneakers.

Ai Yazawa tends to have a lot of different outfits in her work.

I told you guys it was the one that grossed me out. Seriously, I can take all the lovecraft abominations he creates in his stories, but man, that one is the one that grosses me out.
>>7009284
Googling stuff, seems to be Flesh colored horror.

God damn it. I fucking hate trying to google for Uzumaki cosplay, since the google search is always flooded with Naruto cosplay.

>>7009185
>>7009244
It's the one with the family obsessed with grease. Out of all of his stories I've read. That one is probably the one that really grossed me out

I have a 5' wig from epic set aside to make Kirie's hair' definitely have to order extensions and figure out the framing for the wig. It's a pretty big beast of a wig project.
