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
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
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
the mermaid outfit but with a flowy white skirt !
love that you just don't talk to the camera. you show pictures, pinterest inspo, trying on clothes... ty :)
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
The glasses bring me flashback from middle school 💀 used to get bullied for that.
the correct footwear for mermaidcore/fairycore is a lace up sandal/heel!
about mermaidcore and what shoes to pick, I'd go for pointy shoes to remind the mermaid tail ^^
I have always LOVED the knee length jorts. for me they are a consistent summer staple.
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
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.
Yout hair looks like so cute 🥺
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 love that the horror game trend is like dark coquette I have been looking for a style like that!
MERMAID IS SO GOOD
I love the red-black Japanese horror outfit and I AM EXCITED FOR KUROSHITSUJI RETURN
Sandals for mermaid/fairy core
I am so tragically late on this but SHE'S EXCITED FOR BLACK BUTLER
I loved your mermaid-core outfit! It looks amazing, and it feels like a nice personal twist
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
man i love jorts
I didnt like jorts in the 90s when they were a really big trend and i still dont like them now
We definitely need at sugar sugar rune inspo video. Chocolate always had the cutest outfits
you should take styling inspo from shows that arent fashionable/have intresting clothes like sherlock or something idk - like how would you translate the vibes of that tv show into clothing
9:55 why does everyone wearing those glasses look like a sims 2 character
Your diy denim star belt is sooo cute! You killed the belt and glasses looks 💗💗
My dad used to work at cop copine! It went bankrupt this year so it’s gonna become harder to find it! I find mine on Vinted (an European poshmark)
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 😢!
imo people think that those trends are cool only bc they see it on skinny and pretty people (you are part of them), for example im chubby and dont fit the "beauty standart" and i will just look ridiculous in these fits and i know for sure that people will say that this is ugly (srry for my english its not my native language)
omg those belts were everywhere in 2008 😂 i’m pretty sure these stores are selling dead stock from the mid 2000s
youre from brisbane?!!!!! my jaw dropped, how cool :)) might see you at a vinnies some day (or another thrift store)
I love jorts , i always wear them in summer because i hate wearing shorts , skirts and dresses so to not melt during the summer i wear jorts
Outfits inspired by characters from buffy the vampire slayer PLSSSS
The thing with the short pants you used is that it flared weirdly? It needs to flare outward from the bottom and the one you used flared inwards making the silhouette look clunky
I haven’t heard anyone else call toes “dogs” in forever I love that 🫶🏻
If you do video game looks, I’d love to see something from The World Ends With You! If anyone can do that game’s fashion justice I think it’d be you haha
I can’t believe that medallion sh it stained belt is “back”. That thing makes me sick I thought I would never see it again. It’s like hearing that Shania Twain song at the grocery store and you feel like you got jolted to middle/middle-low America 20 years ago. Sickening lol
As a 90’s lover jorts are a big yes from me
felt that wolves trade
I recently spotted someone wearing jorts and boots and it was the first time I really felt that somethings only work in a pic on IG. Sorry but it was the worst outfit I've ever seen in the wild. There is something about the lenght and width of them that just messes up proportions on the body.
I want us to be friends because I agreed 100% with everything you said in this video
I really hate the Jorts 😭 however Jean capris are something I’ve been a bit here and there and my inner child wants to wear them so badly
i would looove a 2000's
manga outfit video
man i don't know if bayonnetta glasses would look good on chubby faces so i may have to pass unfortunately.😭😭(unless they do work but i need proof)
Ive always been obsessed with red Mary janes. I don't think its really a trend.
I need a shoe collection videoo 😭
Are no on the low rise jeans and double belt
i
💛💙💚💜💗I'd appreciate it if you'd consider a video idea that I'm sure you'd also like, make a video dedicated to Red Velvet (all their MVs have different themes, and it'll be fun to play around)❤️
I keep making Pinterest boards thinking I’ve created this new style and then it becomes a trend it’s so weird ?? Like the mermaid core I made a whole concept for that style like a year before I heard of it what is happening
Yay I love the vids
thank youuu 🥰🥰
❤
loool i have been offline for a while and i gotta say i hate all of these trends
Woah I’ve been into the Fatal Frame/Japanese horror game for a looooong while and I never expected to see them here 🥲 they’re really all just about paying attention to small details with your combos!
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!
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!!!!
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 😅
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
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
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😭😭
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
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
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
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
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!!
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
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 😭
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
"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 star belt outfit definitely 10/10 and my favourite in this video 🤩
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.
I thought that i liked stuff because people on tiktok liked them, but blokette really reasured me that i infact do not like everything
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
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!
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
8:52 the star belt is giving ramona flowers from scott pilgrim i love it
I like the glasses on other people but every time I try them I feel like I'm 11 again
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 want to see the fruits magazine inspired outfits!!!
I need JAPANESE HORROR GAMES girls plssss
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 😅
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)
for me fairycore ideal shoe: Impractical
they're fairies and can fly, let garlies have their fun with shoes
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.
Maybe I'm getting older or all these tik-tok trends are ugly af. Like, they look cool if someone wears them but I would never wear any of them
I think we are dressing like Digimon characters from the original show. and I love it.
I will wait forever for that fruits magazine video love !
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!
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.
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!
I LOVE your style, your ability to style things is inhumanly amazing, and you're beautiful as well. But baggy knee-length jorts have never and will never be cute on anyone. They're unsalvageable. You know something is REALLY ugly when it doesn't even look good on the celebrities and influencers trying to push it as a trend.
Love the Japanese horror protag aesthetic and your styling of it, though. I somehow hadn't heard of it until today. Also will be buying red mary janes!
Definitely seen a rise in j horror game inspired outfits myself
video idea is Queencard inspired outfits or recreating some of GIDLE-s fits!
I think for me, most of the fashion that comes from tiktok is just a no for me. imo the overlayering, skirts and dresses over pants, low rise jeans, blokette, big belts and everything that fits into that is just so ugly. most likely bcs i like elegant and cute clothes way more, but i really feel like most of the fashion will be looked down upon in the future.
clothes are a way for people to express themselves and i love to see people experiment .
