Finding Trendy Jfashion Inspiration
It recently came up in the himekaji server of how to find style inspiration! Certain jfashion styles like lolita, jirai, even himekaji have been named and discovered by the west, which makes it much easier to find and discuss the fashion. On the other hand, there's also really large umbrella categories popular in Tokyo like "girly fashion" or what's currently trendy in malls. All of these fashions tend to be my absolute favorites - they're usually much more toned down and wearable. Because of this though, they don't get nearly as much attention in western jfashion communities, and because there's not always a distinct name associated with the trends it's much much harder to look for inspo. Here are my tips for overcoming these challenges!
TKL Image Carousel Hack!
Have you ever noticed how few images there are on the TKL desktop website!? On mobile or the jp site, there's tons of stock images to browse on each listing page so you can see detail shots of the item in every colorway. But on the EN desktop site, all you get are 4 tiny model photos and that's it. There was speculation on the himekaji server that the image carousel is broken, and that's actually exactly the case! If you want to fix this issue yourself without having to wait for Liz Lisa to patch a fix, then read on!
1. Install Stylus
The first thing you'll need is the Stylus browser extension. It is also available for firefox. Sadly, there's no plugin for Safari yet, but safari actually has this functionality built in, if you're interested!
GRL Capsule Wardrobe
Rae recently introduced me to a brand called GRL (I think it's pronounced like Grail!) and suddenly I'm seeing their items all over mercari! Their brand carries lots of trendy wardrobe staples, and everything is very cheap! I have yet to order from them, so I can't say for the quality or sizing yet. If the items hold up to quality, though, it may be a very good way to break into jfashion for those who are just starting out or are on a budget.
My wardrobe is in desperate need for some solid staple pieces, and with my new job starting next week I'm realizing that the current state of my wardrobe is.... not super wearable for an office setting 
This led to me spending some of my between-jobs funemployment time endlessly scrolling through the GRL site, and I figured, why not just daydream up a starter wardrobe? I think this collection is very casual ryousangata-ish, which is exactly what I'm trying to move towards for my work wardrobe! I feel like this style pairs really nicely with sweeter himekaji or liz lisa girl looks, but you can also easily dress it down for a more casual work coord. I'm definitely not going to go out and buy every single one of these items, but I think once I take better stock of my current wardrobe I'll probably pick up a few of these staples to fill in the gaps!
