Going Bandanas; Discoveries & Dilemmas

Good Day ya'll. Working on most days is making style blogging quuuuite challenging! Honestly; when you only step out the door to take the subbie to work (5 mins) and to switch to work uniform there, and then to take the subbie back in the evening to just run by the grocery store on the way home . . .

. . . Who'd actually bother dressing awesomealicious on each such day?

A lazy butt like myself hardly would.  HAR HAR HAR. If you knew how lazy I can get sometimes you'd be surprised by how much effort I've put into snapping pictures of my outfits lately ( ˆ     ν      ˆ ) Because I've taken such a liking in B's iphone4 cam maybe? Yehh, I'm now here with a recent outfit and some talk on GAL stuff ♪

My favorite outfit from past weeks; the bandana & tee combo ↓

I've been wanting to try the bandana / turban trend forages but haven't had a proper scarf/head band that would've gone for bandana. I think. Since the big MODE trend in gal fashion lately, there's been a lot of head bands and even turbans in gal mags. Or well, there were this winter-spring at least!

I went through my Nuts scans from this S/S to gather some examples ↓

What do you think? I don't know why but somehow weird enough most of my pics feature model girl Yui Minemura again ( >     A    < )/ I'm liking the one with the ponytail & the updo ones especially! Shizuka is also super cool in that white maxi see-tru skirt, with the little back pack and the bandana.

By the way; take a look at Becci's blog , she's totally rocking the head band!
+ It's her B-Day today!

Yep yep, so I said I didn't have anything to wear as a bandana. UP UNTIL . . .
I remembered this tricot turban ↓ I'd bought from Seppälä this spring;

And so I took scissors in hand and cut out an ellipse shape piece of the turban off the middle, starting from where that knot thingie starts. And ta-dah! It was ready to be worn as a bandana!

. . . hey, I thought that was pretty clever. It was, right? RRRRIGHHT?

Ok, I also wanted to   talk about some Gal dilemmas and show you guys pictures of my make-up from the day. Like said I'm a lazy butt at times and if there's a way to cheat with things like hair & makeup, I'm up for it. Hohoho. I mean, if I can get around putting on extensions or skipping circle lenses- you bet I will!

Example: you say  "GAL makeup isn't GAL without falsies"

I say "come on, you really don't think I'd bother putting those on _every_day? Or for work?"

All you need is some eye liner. Who says you can't 'draw' lower "falsies" for example?!

↑ ( @        φ       @ ) ölölölölö~ It looks a little different from close up, but does give the puppy eye effect when looked at from further away I think. I mean, the lower "lash" with eye shadow & liner thing. Does it?

Also, did I say something about circle lenses? I'm fine going around non-lensed like here.

My Q to you is: Can a girl not go Gyaru w/o falsies & circle lenses?

This hopefully explained some of my views on some gyaru style "staples". Like false lashes, which are fun don't get me wrong, but just too much to mess with on a daily basis for my taste. I'm still naive enough to think you can make it GAL without some of the so-called must items like lenses and lashes! It's just a bit more challenging maybe ( n       ε      n )/

Alrightee then,

I'm off to fight my way into my running shoes & out the door! *coughcough*
With one last pic from yesterday ↓ when me & B went downtown for HP.

Oh... wait... is that a HELMET I see? . . . → To Be Continued
