Sometimes fashion goes down the "I tripped and fell into a pile of clothes and this is what happened" path. We are currently in the reeds.
😂😂😂😂
yup..
And it’s cunty
Exactly, this feels horrible 😅
As a glasses wearer anyway , I absolutely love the glasses trend - used to feel “nerdy” and thought my glasses would take away any sense of chic/glamour , but loving this new praise for the glasses style being more sexy and high fashion 🥰
i feel that, i only wear my glasses when watching movies at my house because i feel weird going out with them on but i may try it now
Yeah, and I didn’t expect that specific rectangular glasses shape to come into style. I used to have glasses like that but it was when hipster glasses were getting popular and my glasses felt dated lol, idk how to feel about the fact they’re considered cute now
I love how there’s so many more cute glasses to buy now. I have a heart shaped pair and I love them. People are always shocked when I tell them they’re prescription.
I know this is so annoying of me but I’m an Aquarius moon and rising. But the small glasses I’ve been wearing for 2,5 years. And it being trendy right now feels like a part of my identity is taken away😫.
I always have this when I wear unique clothing and it is a part of me. When it becomes trendy I get so frustrerend. Idk how to cope😖
Same here
Imo for fairycore/mermaidcore shoes the best way to go for it is to consider what would they wear if they had to adapt suddenly to a "human" lifestyle. I think that the kind of sandals that lace up along the leg instead of a modern closure work well because they look so delicate and have a primitive yet ethereal feeling to them. Buckles and clasps really take away the mythical/ethereal vibe. Looking at historical footwear archives would probably give you some inspiration
I agree. Fairies are traditionally depicted with little ankle boots (pixie boots) or slip on flats, and sandals would also work as long as they are delicate. Slingbacks, peeptoes, also cute imo
@@riverAmazonNZ Yes!!! things that have an element of structure, but aren't overly complex. Adornments like pearls, leaves, gems, etc would elevate them too! Magically handmade is how I would put it.
ur so right bc i always imagined like strappy lacey sandals kinda like the enchantix transformation from winx
Mermaids definitely wear ballet flats.
Thank you!!!!
I don’t have tiktok and have been getting the Japanese horror game girl aesthetic on my Depop and was like ‘that’s oddly specific and random but so cute’😂 so funny to realize it’s a trend
me tooo but with pinterest ahaha
One thing with lower-rise, longer, loose styles of shorts and jorts is that they can really muck with the visual length of your leg. As someone who already has short legs, I end up feeling like Mrs. Potato Head.
Especially if the material is really stiff it just makes me look like a short blob
Totally, I keep trying to style a pair but nothing goes well cause my legs just look weird
i wear them anyway bc i need a long inseam. i can stand short shorts
The Japanese horror game style is so niche it’s pretty much just dark coquette I feel but with a longer name and some slight differences 😭
something that may be interesting for a video is trying to restyle old micro-trends you got sick of since i feel like there have been so many in the past three years. Also i love your videos sm they always brighten up my day!
love that idea!!
I’m so sorry I liked without thinking and now it is no longer 69 likes 😢
thats such a good idea!
Honestly , IMO, some of the fashions I just correlate too much with the poo times of the early 2000s that they just don’t appeal to me. Others are just because they look good on celebrities or influencers. Some I just associate with certain fashion subcultures so I don’t feel like they’re for me. For example, jorts I heavily associate with Chicano culture or African American style subcultures.
just saying... everyone can wear jorts... dont overthink this
@@lauraah47they never said the contrary
just personally they would rather not
they're probs not even overthinking it
@@lauraah47 anyone can wear jorts obvi I’m just saying bc I associate it to other subcultures I can’t personally wear it. Not saying I’m gatekeeping jorts lmao
“Poo times of the early 2000s” gorl I am murdered ☠️☠️😂
@@lauraah47 you’re probably white aren’t you
SAFETY WARNING:
Hey, just wanted to give you a heads up about football jerseys. They're really popular right now because of the World Cup and how easy they are to thrift, with aesthetics like blockcore, and blockette , but if you're planning to travel to Europe or other places where football is a big deal, it's important to know which teams are popular there. Some people take football really seriously and there have even been cases where people have been hurt or killed just because they were wearing the wrong team's jersey. I don't think that clothes should ever be a reason for violence, but it's important to be aware of these things.
boosting this

@@estherrr-tm8cf thanks bby
are you serious? it’s just a freaking ball game 🤦♀️ i hate people
@@coolchameleon21 i know 🥲ppl shouldn’t be taking things to that level of seriousness
When I heard 'japanese horror game' aesthetic, I immediately thought of, like, Jill Valentine or Heather Mason-type looks, more late 90's or y2k stuff. I was very surprised to see all the fatal frame references instead of Claire Redfield and her hot pink denim lol
Hot pink denim? I don't remember that on Claire
@@sxmvp The material varies from game to game, but in resident evil 2, she's wearing pink denim shorts. I thought the vest was denim too, but the concept art describes it as nylon
Those are Americanized shooting video games though I wouldn’t categorize them as Japanese horror games, even if they do come from a Japanese company
Mermaid core shoes for me would be some strappy sandal stilettos, very 2000s era, sparkly, the kind that would wrap around your legs a few time, they have that weightless look to them but still have the glitz of the mermaid core aesthetic
love the video! i cant help but think that a lot of the trends right now, esp current jorts, blokette, and some coquette trends will be looked back on with such embarrassment. like i love the creativity and the vibes, but i just *know* that the popular opinion will turn and turn hard on these styles, similar to how we looked at the 80s and y2k fashion. theyre not just gonna go out theyre going to be hated
💯
I think the fact that they are very specific trends, makes them age worse.
IKR
No seriously I hate so many 80s trends like neon leg warmer & perms bye 🤣
@@Magic-dn4ypneon leg warmers are cool in my opinion😭😭
"It's kinda giving she's excited that black butler is making a return" how dare you call me out like this I literally brought out the atelier boz roland jacket last week🤣
The Japanese horror game protagonist aesthetic is so good, definitely what I’ve been leaning toward
I agree with you on it being for anime lovers because misa and nana are some of my style inspos and this aesthetic is pretty close
I love your videos and your depop
@@kaysartchannel Aw thank you sm :”) I just checked out your channel and I really like your art style, had to sub
@@stargirl_lee TYSM you inspire me so much this really made my day
Would you ever do an outfit video inspired by your favorite queens?? Since you’re a drag race girly too!👀🩷
Omg yes! I would love to see her take on Sugar & Spice as their aesthetics are so trendy rn with y2k and bratz core
The way I gasped when I got the notif I loooove your videos girl
ahh thank you so so much!!! ⋆˙⟡♡
@@stealthespotlight_ no, thank you for the amazing content!! I literally started watching Nana because of you (I'm on episode 12 tho pls no spoilers)
@@msilvia4807 good luck soldier 💂🏼💂🏼 u got this bro
i'm a huge fan of the jorts trend! i'm not super fond of showing off my whole leg but when it's hot out wearing full jeans isn't always the best idea. so i finally got a pair of jorts and i love them and already wanting more!
yesss same here!! i love that my legs are covered with them
Yess i feel like i don‘t even look that „good“ in them like they are not even flattering but that is kind of what i love about them? I just feel cool and safe and and like i can leave the house without being as sexualised as when i wear a dress (wow that‘s kinda sad now that i think about it lol)
idk if you're sick of them but tbh prompt based videos like "what i'd wear to ____" are still so so fun to me and specially i like yours SO much, would love to see another one if you're on the mood xoxo
The star belt outfit definitely 10/10 and my favourite in this video 🤩
8:52 the star belt is giving ramona flowers from scott pilgrim i love it
the mermaid outfit but with a flowy white skirt !
id love to see a clamp inspired look book. cardcaptor sakura, tsubasa reservoir chronicles, and xxxholic ruled my world as a teen and clamp always killed it with the outfit designs. especially cardcaptor sakura, i always loved that her magical girl costume would change for every fight
love that you just don't talk to the camera. you show pictures, pinterest inspo, trying on clothes... ty :)
GIRL YOU NEED TO DO A SKINS LOOKBOOK it would make my year! also ily 💗
Yeah! But not like, “just Effy”, because I feel like everyone has already done that
@@EmblaBexell fr but ofc gotta be some effy
@@katslife5500well yes, obviously. Her style is iconic
@@EmblaBexelli like the twins style ❤❤
omg yes
I thought that i liked stuff because people on tiktok liked them, but blokette really reasured me that i infact do not like everything
immediatly when we the video started youre in that funky, cool af jersey and the ribbons look sooo cute with it! you never disappoint even before/between the actual looks for the video! idk how you keep raising the bar
on another note: i think you did something like that in a video once but would you ever do a whole lookbook inspired by skins (uk) characters? its not exactly your style but it does have some elements like many accessories so i think it would be a fun challenge!
no worries if not and thanks for reading lol
also idk about mermaid but the appropriate shoe for fairy is probably a lace up ballet flat/sandal but maybe in an earthier tone or even with some flower details so its less actual ballet pointe shoe
Mermaid core and fairy core shoes are flats/ballet flats
Yes and I have some slingback peeptoe flats woth little flowers on them that seem really fairycore to me
I really enjoy jorts. But not the short jean shorts, I just think the long version is cute and chic. Also when you were talking about your pinstripe pants, it reminded of me how much I love mine. And LOVE red shoes. I have a burgandyish pair that are ballet flats with a heel basically and I get so much wear out of those.
for me fairycore ideal shoe: Impractical
they're fairies and can fly, let garlies have their fun with shoes
The talk abt shoes and mermaids made me laugh so much lmaoo. As always I loved your video! I hope you're doing great and have a nice day!
Girl, every time you post you brighten up my day, I love your videos so much! None of my friends are fashion girlies like I am, so watching your vids always fills me up with so much joy haha, as if I was actually having a conversation about fashion with a friend
i second this!!
the correct footwear for mermaidcore/fairycore is a lace up sandal/heel!
The glasses bring me flashback from middle school 💀 used to get bullied for that.
was nodding along in agreement to the kpop fan/sports fan comparison bit... i literally took my twice lightstick to a fifa game the other week 😅
I think the mermaid core outfit would look really cute with just some simple white chunky boots/heels without socks :) Maybe, would even make it less costumey.
Honestly, to me wearing just some pieces and not the full outfit in mermaid/fairy core seems a lot more comfortable and actually wearable irl!
I want to see the fruits magazine inspired outfits!!!
about mermaidcore and what shoes to pick, I'd go for pointy shoes to remind the mermaid tail ^^
clothes are a way for people to express themselves and i love to see people experiment .
Yout hair looks like so cute 🥺
Wow. The medallion belt surprised me. I thrifted a couple years ago. It's nice to know I can style them now and be on trend!
Those slim glasses seem like a short lived trend. Idk they seem to me more for outfit pics or styling videos and than to take off again. Which is totally fine, I personally wouldn’t get prescription glasses in that size.
Most of the y2k trends I'm just gonna hate forever no matter how many videos I see of them. Idk it just triggers something in me, it's like war flashbacks. For example the slim reading glasses are some war flashback I swear it's like travelling back in time
I think we are dressing like Digimon characters from the original show. and I love it.
The mermaid inspired outfit is giving water nymph, I love it! 🌊🐚
As a non TikTok user these are my thoughts:
Jorts look very pokemon trainer or sk8ter from the early 2000. Plus points for comfort and pockets.
Blokette style is fine if you like the sport teams, otherwise its dumb. Also very 2000s
Japanese horror character is cute. Also very 2000s
Ribbons are timeless. It was cute in 1700 and it is cute now.
Red footwear is timeless. See above.
Mermaidcore is useless.
The slim glasses are fine. Very 2000s
The gingham capri pants were the star of this video. VERY CUTE.
as a fellow non-tiktok user I wholeheartedly agree
I have always LOVED the knee length jorts. for me they are a consistent summer staple.
you rocked jorts imo!!! especially with your styling really made a cute look. i personally am a jorts lover, especially baggy, but i understand certain styles of them can certainly be polarizing
a little bit out of topic but would you ever consider doing a black butler lookbook?? i looooove Ciel's fashion and knowing u also like the anime makes me so happy since it's my favorite!! i'm super excited for the new season and I think it would be super cool if you tried something like that!!!
I remember wearing jorts in high school and being viciously made fun of by my 'friends' for wearing them. Honestly I kind of despise them being in trend now due to this.
I like jorts, I think it fits my own personal style, which is somewhat more androgynous and tomboyish. (I love baggy clothing like oversized tshirts, maxi shirts, clunky shoes, big jackets, etc)
This video is so crazy to me because 90% of the things here are things I would see someone wear and think they were extremely unfashionable.
you look SO CUTE with the blue bows/jersey combo 🩵 so happy to see you post, ily queen
the glasses fit you so well omg
The Japanese horror protag has been on my fyp like crazy! I'm insanely in love with it, and honestly have started taking some major inspo from characters like Ashley Graham lmao
7:19 I always like to wear gladiator type sandals, or just any tie/wrap up shoes. I’m definitely more on the “fairycore” side of things but I find that any sort of ropeish looking shoes work out well. I have a pair of shoes from Call It Spring, I think they are called the Jayda or maybe Jaya shoes.
as someone who lived through the early 00s, i'm horrified that it's back in trend. this is like us 90s kids "discovering" denim patchwork from the 70s (which i totally wore and loved)
I like the glasses on other people but every time I try them I feel like I'm 11 again
omg if you haven’t already, i would love to see outfits inspired by 2000s manga that you mentioned in the video!!!!
I find it funny what trends you’re seeing vs. what I see because they are very different (less street style based)
Sandals for mermaid/fairy core
Love this entire vid, as always!! Side note - totally get you with the kpop/sports thing, I’m a huge motorsport fan (F1, MotoGP, etc.) and kpop stan and I find them so similar too 😂
omg !!! finally 💕, I look forward to your videos, i love them so much, I love your style ⭐🌙
omg. Your dorothy inspired outfit is so damn cute!!! Even with the capris!!
I too am still obsessed with the bows and ribbons 🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️ and I love your hair in this video 🥹🫶🏼
I am so tragically late on this but SHE'S EXCITED FOR BLACK BUTLER
Out of everything here, the jorts are the only ones that I would personally pursue. Also, omg, the Angel Blue clock is soooo cute! I see it on Pinterest all the time, I’m so jealous 😣😣
Your diy denim star belt is sooo cute! You killed the belt and glasses looks 💗💗
I will wait forever for that fruits magazine video love !
I honestly want to see your take on acubi fashion!! love u so muchh 💖💖
Everytime you wear that green and blue jersey I get more and more convinced I need it in my life 😅 and blue ribbons
I love that the horror game trend is like dark coquette I have been looking for a style like that!
I love the red-black Japanese horror outfit and I AM EXCITED FOR KUROSHITSUJI RETURN
you KILLED it with these outfits, i am a notorious baggy jorts hater and i loved your outfit. idk how you do it
My fave outfits are yours with double belt, glasses and everyday princess 😍
okay i am LOVING your current hair color!! it suits you so well !
I loved your mermaid-core outfit! It looks amazing, and it feels like a nice personal twist
man i love jorts
I love the jorts on you!!!!
the way i audibly squealed when i saw your video pop up another great video!!!!
gorl this hair colour on u is bomb ⋆˙⟡ absolute slay
We definitely need at sugar sugar rune inspo video. Chocolate always had the cutest outfits
I didnt like jorts in the 90s when they were a really big trend and i still dont like them now
jorts are definitely something i loooove seeing other people style but literally don't like them on me at all, and I tried! I almost thrifted a pair yesterday but decided not to because I probably wouldn't wear them lol
What a nice video! It always makes me happy when you upload
Ooh, I love the hack with the white mermaid core dress! Love it as a top.
Omg and same with the belts! I have so many from a decade ago, genuine leather and all, but now it’s only broken fast fashion scraps 😢!
I'm not done with the video yet but your hair colour and style is so cutee!!! the pink wash out to such a pretty ashy blonde colour
the glasses trend and the ribbons are everything to me
I always see styles and i'm like "meh", and then you style it and i'm totally on board. 🥰
youre from brisbane?!!!!! my jaw dropped, how cool :)) might see you at a vinnies some day (or another thrift store)
One of my fave UA-camrs ❤️❤️❤️
yess girlie love this 💕
MERMAID IS SO GOOD
I loooove the video!!!
I may also just be chronically online but I've definitely also been getting the japanese horror game aesthetic on my feed
I know I'm gonna love this vid
the "japanese horror game" one is funny to me because from what i have seen it's exclusively inspired by fatal frame and nothing else.
u goottaaa style yotsuba i feel like u would slay so hard
Okay I don't know if anyone else has said this but I have been seeing a lot lately of people adding a lace bottom to capris in a bell bottom style and I feel like I can see you making that work for these! ☺
love the video!! keep up the good work🙌❤️
OMG the second outfit inspo is mine!!!
Your necklace is beautiful!
