My Fashion Identity? || November Epiphany

TL;DR: I've been thinking a lot about my style, in regards to: what I wear and why I wear it, and also what I'd like to wear but have never tried. After a series of events, discoveries, and a lot of personal evaluation, I've decided to expand my style and try the styles I've always dreamed about rather than restricting myself to one look. In this post, I basically want to tell you a bit about where I found my inspiration (and hopefully you can to!) as well as some info on the new 'style identity' and the styles I'm going to be challenging: Lolita, Otome and Mori! 

I put the tl;dr at the start of this post because it's most likely going to be a long one, and if you can't be bothered to read that, then at least watch this short video explaining (very badly) what I'm going to be talking about: 

Now that that's said and done, I've broken all the information up into questions to make it easier for you to find whatever you're interested in, so read on to have all of your questions answered! ^^

HYPER JAPAN Christmas Market Mini-Haul || Dreamy Bows & Minori Fan Merch

As you probably already know from my last post, I visited an event called Hyper Japan last week, and one of my main objectives was to buy a few things for my start in something new and exciting - I'm not going to tell you what just yet, but I'm sure you'll get a hint or two in this post! 

Admittedly my main objective was to buy clothing  HUGE HINT ALERT  but unfortunately I didn't quite come across what I was looking for, however I was lucky enough to come across some cute accessories instead. 

[SPAZZ] I Met Shironuri Artist, Minori! (Fan Account)

Wheeeeerrrrrrrreeeeeeeeee ddddoooooooo IIIIIIIIII bbbbeeeeeeeeggggiiiiiinnnnn? 

Disclaimer: This being a fan account, means there will be copious amount of fangirling, if you can't handle it, then I suggest you don't read for the sake of your own sanity~ 

Last Friday I attended an event called HYPER JAPAN Christmas Market, which is a Japanese cultural event in central London. One of the main reasons I went to this event was to get a chance to meet a fashion celebrity I have been following for years now, and that would be Shironuri Artist, Minori! 

Minori is a prime example of how one can transcend the fashion world and become a true 'artist', even though Shironuri existed long before her, she was the one who really propelled the style with her unique makeup and outfits, both of which really are works of art! One of the things I respect about Minori is that she makes all of her outfits, (or should I call them art pieces??) so she can really express her style. She's fearless, but also sweet and humble. 

Anyhow, now you know of the glory that is Minori-sama, let me tell you about our encounter! 

The meet with Minori was organised by a UK Lolita group called 'The Tea Party Club' so we all got to sit in a circular formation and talk and eat with Minori. After everyone was settled and eating, we were allowed to approach Minori and talk to her or ask her questions or for autographs and pictures and whatever else we desired - within reason, of course. 

I did feel kinda bad for her at first because since food was served first, she was interrupted while eating a number of times and did eventually give up on eating altogether, but even then she still greeted everyone that came up to her with a smile. She also looked really tired because she'd just flown into the country the day before from Bangkok(? - I don't remember exactly where but I saw it on her SNS) but despite her red eyes she was lively and active for the whole event.
