Heyya Bunnies!
So I am super hyper about hime gyaru again. Thanks Lizzie. And talking about her, as my blogpost today I want to take her hime gyaru list and add some things to it. Since Lizzie decided to still call her a Hime Newbie...and I am kinda a Hime Oldie then I guess?
1. Kawaii ugg-style boots with bows and/or on them
Tbh you dont necessarily need uggs...they are the cutest yes, but literally any type of boots will work. Hime is all about the dresses and the hair. Lots of hime wore basic shoes. For very cold weather I recommend wearing tights+fleece shorts+overknee thermal socks+overknee boots. Depending on your outfit I would go with beige,black,brown or white. You dont need them to be heels.
2. A pair of cute flats (preferably with bows or lace on) tucked away into your bag for emergencies
Literally the SOS for gals that are not used to wearing heels...to me no problem wearing 8+ hours heels..I do have some hello kitty crocs tho for driving with my car...I can drive with heels, but its hella uncomfortable and I prefer not to. So completely valid point.
The hair secret. Lemme tell you: every. Hime. Cheats. With their hair. All of them. Even the super natural hairstyles from jd staff used to be wig parts. Others may not notice, but I do...sometimes I even see where they attached them. So dont feel demotivitated if you cant make your natural hair look like that. They cant too. Wig parts are super cheap on Amazon and AliExpress to find. The blondes r a bit tricky to match with the color, however the blacks always were fine.
Tbh for oldschool jd hime gyaru you dont even need the lashes, bcuz their makeup did not consist of wearing lashes. I might make a blog post about that one. It surely helps with the look but it is possible to do without. Here is a picture of me with a natural hime makeup...also yay, super bright hair lmao.
Yes...yes.
Tbh if you are able to fit within jd size 38/40 there are so many jd dresses sold at like 40$ rn on buyee...which is super cheap for jd...so I would 💯 consider it. If not, stay tuned I will give you tips which other places sell great hime clothing.
Not necessarily, but almost impossible to resist.
Tbh bows and flowers are even more popular hair accesories than tiaras. If you dont have a pretty tiara, go for flowers...the are the easiest to style and they go with everything.
Yes...also in different lengths...look more for choker/decolleté lengths...they are the best to go. Also charms to go with them...there are several crown charms to put on basic pearl necklaces..its the closest you could create to jd necklaces.
10. Floral hair accessories
Yes. Get flowers girlies.
Not necessarily frilly...but bolero and cardigans are the best way to cover up for colder weather.
Yup.
I honestly dont really understand Popteen here in this list bcuz its not really active in hime content, its just...cute. ageha and vanilla, yea and I would like to add ane ageha, your bae keiko got you with hime content in there. I actually have seen more jd hime coords in ane ageha than in ageha at this point. I also would like to add Rose, the hime gyaru magazine.
The good part about hime is that you dont even need to deco it...well-kept gel nails, or just pretty nails...dont even need to be super long, work well for hime. A big plus when you work in an occupation where you're not allowed to have long nails, or fake nails at all.
Agreed. Everyone takes cold weather differently. I am fine with sheer tights most of the time bit I am glad I have some thermals to switch up for when it gets super cold. There are also great tights on Aliexpress that are sheer from the outside and fleece from the inside...so there is no excuse to nor wear any dresses/skirts. These tights are even warmer than any of my pants could get.
Yup. For hime, dresses and skirts are the only way to go. There are some coords with pants/shorts but they are rare and not really a good goal to set. A pretty princess needs her gowns.
Roses are the best prints. You are able to wear nets as well, but make them as small as possible ..the big nets dont go well with hime. But in general its completely fine to go without prints..especially when theres already a lot going on on your outfit.
Hime love to deco, mostl bcuz the stores often dont sell cute stuff or cute stuff is not cute enough...you also can make your very own hime shoes with laces and deco roses.
If you are able to wear heels, then yes...heels look best with hime.
I used to have a pink facemask. When the cotton masks were alright, I bought a pink one with rhinestones. Then they changed the law and one medical masks are allowed. So I eventually bought pink medical masks. They changed the law again to ffp2 being required, and now I just dont wanna spend any more money on it. The white ffp2 are super ugly but I wont...I just wont anymore.
Lucky is everyone who can wear customized masks bcuz here you wont get into any place with these.
21. A cute handbag
Indeed. Also get charms or cute keychains to put onto your handbag as accesory...you can immediately cutify any bag with it. Go for quilted totes if you can...they will go best and you can get them for cheap everywhere. Accessoirize and you are done.
We love our cute kigurumi. I live in mine during winter. I always refuse to take it off, but it need to get washes unfortunately.
