Gothic, Lolita, Aristocrat and Kodona Fashion Tips Session ^o^

[morgen-stern.livejournal.com]

Well, I was replying to another post here on EGL and springing from that thread and the replies to it, and idea came to mind. A personalized Gothic, Lolita, Aristocrat, Dandy, and Kodona fashion tips session! ^.^

People who would like to participate should post to this thread with a picture of themselves in everyday clothing, and give a general description of the genre that you like to wear, and maybe say what points you'd particularly like some tips on when it comes to your style, body type, colour scheme, etc.

Then, others on the list could post in reply and give their tips and ideas between one another. ^.^ I see posts on occasion that *sort* of act as this, for one individual, but I thought it would be fun to have an entire thread event dedicated to it. Just one big idea swapping session.

^.^ I'll start out, since I'm posting the thread.

This is my everyday me, pretty much. My hair is longer now though, it hits about shoulder length, but not much else has changed. I dress mostly EGA, Dandy Goth, and occasionally BxB EGL. I'm definitely of the Mana following camp. ^.^ Mostly my issues stem from my height and long *everything* and my decidedly un-kawaii features. (Now don't think I'm being self depreciating, people have told me I'm pretty and I agree most of the time, but I'm decidedly not "cute." My features are rather grown up, I think, not childish or cutesy at all.)

Now, have at! Either give me your ideas of what would best suit me, and maybe what I should try to avoid, or post your own image for clothing/make up/what ever tips! Please try to be nice when giving suggestions or criticisms though, we don't want any hurt feelings!

A few interesting items in the Lip Service catalog :)

Gah... Been wondering what kind of EGL dresses would fit a chubby 4'11 girl like me... I've got "kawaii bishoujo" features (almond-shaped eyes, button nose, small mouth) and short d.brown hair that moves in random waves and large curls. Any suggestions? I can think of tons of EGA schemes but EGL? Hard for me to think of one that can hide my knees and not make me look too short. So... Any ideas and/or suggestions? Thanks a lot in advance...

Ja ne!

P.S. I go for dark shades. I rarely wear white (excluding my school uniform)
