Lately, I've come to realise that my dressing/ makeup style has split neatly into 2 distinct styles. One is of course the old gyaru style with the circle lens, thicker foundation, pink blush & heavily shadowed & lined eyes, complete with both top and bottom fake lashes. Naturally, the clothes are louder, more revealing and just simply over-the-top and trendy with super high heels. Of course, you can't have over-the-top style without big curly hair right?
My other style is more of a casual, laidback style with non-enlarging lens, less foundation, peach-pink blush, light sweep of eyeshadow and copious amounts of mascara. The clothes are relaxed & comfortable & mostly paired with flats and simple hair that's mostly flat-ironed or tied back.

Finally jumped on the feather-in-hair trend. I've been wanting to get one earlier but I've always only found earrings (I don't have pierced ears) & nowhere sold earcuffs without breaking my budget. I finally chanced upon this hair pin & bought it instantly, I love it as an additional accessory that's subtle but definitely adds an interesting twist.

I know after sifting through the list of makeup products, it doesn't seem like that much of a difference in terms of the base. But trust me, the effect is completely different and its definitely alot thicker.
I'm so glad that I've actually managed to allow the 2 parts of my clothing personality to co-exist, with one hand wanting to be loud, different from the crowd and all dolled up while the other wanting a more relaxed, simpler and comfortable look. Unfortunately, my wardrobe is the poor casualty from the long and tedious period of trying to balance both sides. So I need to sift through it soon and start purging unwanted stuff from there.
What about you? Do you have mixed personalities in your wardrobe too?
I know what you mean. I feel like I have a ton of different fashion personalities!
ReplyDeleteI like your first more gyaru-esque outfit and makeup.
Thank you! & I think everyone has slightly differing personalitites to match their moods & situations :)
DeleteAwe, I think both of your fashion 'personalities' actually go really well together! You still have this awesome rock-ish feel going on with both ♥ & trust me, your laidback style is 1,000x better than my lazy ass one, haha XD Mine just looks broke.
ReplyDeleteThanks babe! I didn't realise the casial had a rock-ish feel to it till you mentioned it haha. Aww, ur lazy ass outfit may be broke, but you got awesome jewellry and shoes to fix anything!
