I'm considering restyling my entire wardrobe.

But i need alittle help, I'd like to own/make some more japanese street style clothing.

I'm abit of a tomboy, but i love dresses!! (I'm starting to like pastel colours alot!!)


I'm wondering what style i should be looking at and where to buy clothing.

If any can help me out that'll be great.


Things i like;

Black, white, red, pastel colours, yellow

Bunnies, cats, puppies, confectionary, flowers

Alice in wonderland

Vampires and wolves

I love sailor's!!

Fairy Kei, if you like pastels. It can involve shorts and pants and not just dresses and skirts, so if you're a bit of a tomboy, you make be interested in that.


Lolita uses a lot of the motifs you mentioned (Bunnies, cats, puppies, confectionary, flowers, alice in wonderland). These motifs can be found in many different lolita substyles, like sweet, classic, sweet classic, country. There is also a sailor lolita and punk lolita. If you like vampires, you might want to try gothic lolita, with combines well with punk lolita. 


If you think lolita is too much for everyday wear, you might like otome, which has no "real" definition, but is similar to lolita, just more toned down...no petticoats, no dresses with crazy prints (prints will be there, but they'll be more calm). Otome tends to mix subtle neutral colors like black and brown and grey with bright pops of colors like red or yellow. 


Mori girl is a woodland-themed fashion, so if you like bunnies, flowers, etc, you might like it. Mori girls also love cute sweets jewelry too, like the stuff from q-pot. Mori girl is also one of those fashiosn that uses a lot of skirts and dresses, but can include pants as well. 


If you like darker, slightly creepy things, you might like Dolly Kei. The colors are usually jewel tones and the accessories tend to have an eerie, antique feel (like masquarade masks, doll head necklaces, bottle necklaces, rings with dark colors jewels.)


hope this helps~

why not try punk lolita? It's a bit extreme, but it sounds like it would suit you.

here's an inspiration thread

I don't think you have to chose a particualar style. Can't you just buy pices you like and wear your own style? I mean vampireas and Alice might not exist as a combination in a already invented style, but I'm sure as hell that can be invented :) You can wear a sailor dress one day and a tomboy outfit the next, your whole wardrobe doesn't have to be the same style :)

All you got to do is search for the pices your really like :) I guess there's just too many places to mention on where you can shop. I like yesstyle and rakuten for koran and japanese fashion, but really, you can find pieces like that everywhere if you have the patience to look :) Ebay is also a  spot where you can find almost everything.

And hey, maybe you can use your old items too? Maybe you just need to modify them a little to make them more interesting? :)
