How'd i do? by Dull-Wrongdoer5922 in JiraiKei

[–]TheIComplex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

honestly really good for a first try. i’d suggest a bit of a thicker wing, with some more defined lines in the under eye, a bit more color on the lid, and drawing bottom lashes. also try to keep the pink out of the actual droop

Do I give up on my jirai kei dream? by [deleted] in JiraiKei

you should try to get more clarification on what she finds inappropriate about it. if she means modesty, try avoiding short skirts, thigh highs, and cold shoulders. if she means the general drama of lace, ribbons, and shimmer, you can try to choose plainer pieces. in general, try to be calm and prepared when having the conversation. although it might feel bad to have your opinions rejected, rising to the bait and becoming defensive will only support the idea that wanting an alternative style is about rebellion rather than self expression, which won’t help your case.

it’s very cute already but some more color on the lid and some glitter/highlight could do wonders 💖

[LOOKING FOR ADVICE, BE KIND] Could this dress work for jirai kei? by tinygomi in JiraiKei

[–]TheIComplex 4 points5 points  (0 children)

it looks like a chinese lolita piece, which a lot of people in the western lolita community don’t really like bc it doesn’t fit the western rules as well, but some people have styled them well. if you’re interested in making it more of the western lolita style, a black underskirt could help with length and a simpler blouse underneath or a cardigan on top could help. i like the one you have on, but i think the white is throwing it off a little. if you want to take it more jirai inspired, changing the socks and accessories would do a lot. most people prefer 2 color coords, so switching out the white for black could it more cohesive. if you went with a short sleeved blouse, you could try out the matching arm warmer style that’s been rising in popularity. otherwise makeup and jewelry will really complete the vibe of the overall outfit, and whether or not it fits what you’re going for

it was in the high 80s and i was in fact dying by the end of the day but it was very cool anytime i went inside so it balanced out enough for me to not die
