Late post is late and I won't make any excuses for it, only to admit that I was being lazy and kept putting it off. Well, here I am, finally getting myself to write down this post so apologies to all.
With the upcoming Chinese New year celebrations, I finally made myself get my hair done after bout 3 1/2 months since my last hair dye and hair cut sessions.
Showed my hairdresser this picture to get an idea for the colour. Though I told him to make the actual shade darker since my hair is still a tad weak after all the bleaching from before
The eventual result!! I love it! Though I'm bit sad that it's bit boring now, but hey at least it matches my skin tone.
After that I went to my favourite hairdresser for a much needed haircut, I also found out that under different lighting conditions, my hair colour differs, sometimes it looks bit red like here. I took the plunge and decided to cut my fringe back to blunt bangs, it just seems to suit my overall style bit more though I am still getting used to camwhoring with the new length.
As the title says, I'm moving onto a different style of dressing now. Something about gyaru just isn't cutting it for me anymore, not quite sure why but then again, I can't quite say I'm really gyaru lately anyway. The 3 main styles that have been influencing me lately are namely, Mori kei, Cult Party kei and Dolly kei.
great examples of the 3 different styles, pic found on Tumblr
To be honest, I still get alittle confused between the 3 since they all share quite a number of similarities. All 3 styles prefer vintage clothes though it's not quite a must for Mori, and I know that Dolly is probably the richest and most colourful of the lot with rich embroidery and great detailing. Guess I gotta do more research on them before deciding what to add to my wardrobe next time.
Of course with real life, I won't 100% dress like that all the time, my outfits will probably vary depending on occasion, mood, weather etc. so I can't exactly say I'm definitely heading that direction and I do love Gyaru-style makeup. I guess I might wind up with a mix of everything hahaha, let's just see how it goes, it might work, or I might just end up as a huge mess.
On side note, I thought I'd try this Instagram beauty challenge for fun:
I've been right on schedule so far (though I did start out 5 days late :p), and it's definitely been fun. I'm not quite sure if I'll be able to achieve day 13 though, I only apply makeup if I'm going out so yea... guess I'll figure something out by then hahah. So if you're interested in taking a look at what my postings are for this challenge, just take a look at my Instagram: hortaru
Though I do have to warn you that it is filled with alot of randomness if you haven't already checked it out previously hahaha
