This has been a rather long absence. Which is what happens when you keep finishing your 5gb of monthly internet (yes, ghastly, I know) within a week and get put off looking at everything because it takes too long to load.
Anyway, I stumbled upon some Popteen October scans and found most of it to be featuring the “otona rock” trend, including brands I usually wouldn’t expect to – like CecilMcBee… so I picked out some favorites. Several are from Ingni.
A lot of it was bordering on blogger style because a lot of “free shipping worldwide” online stores are moving into this look with the gazillion “rivets” items, which I tried to mostly leave out, but there are a few here that may fit the category. Not much sweet style this month.

Key points of 大人ロックギャル系!
Since it is otona (adult), everything is tame and not very punk-y at all, but adds rock elements to otherwise trendy fashion by injecting 1-3 of the following into a look, besides the shoes which should ALWAYS be there.
Top to bottom, L-R:
Almost everything leopard print is great. In faux fur it’s even better.
VANS. Japan exclusive, the ones sold overseas are not furry.
Demonia creepers.
Dr. Martens.
Adidas x Jeremy Scott.
I kind of want all of them. This is a problem.
2 sets to win:
COOL
or CUTE?
All include fake collars, nail stuff, circle lens, stationery and a variety of other things depending on which set you pick.

Long time no see.
Haven’t done one of these posts in a while, trying a new format again ((is bored))
Putting your own spin on the spring trends of pastels (especially lavender and mint), knits, peter pan collars and tulle skirts:
1. Harden light hues with rougher outerwear/jackets in leather, cargo and denim for a more “rock style”
2. Wear louder tones of trending colors with bright accessories for a cross between color-blocking and pastel; OR with cute prints and girly accessories for something leaning towards a sweet style.
3. Fishnet tights and newsprint make peter pan collar a bit more “boyish” street type.
4. Add punk tone by wearing knits with “alternative” features like dripping motif and stud detail.
5. Tulle skirt can be punk with flashy tights and creepers, or ladylike and natural kei with neutral tones and oxfords. Shoes and hosiery matter, even with long skirts!
Western-influenced and rockabilly elements are forever in my good book, they all remind me of Seto Ayumi!
1. Red and black is always a safe combo. It never looks bad. Ever.
2. Nice to see some red and blue – the USA flag print is more popular than union jack now, clever to match that top with a completely blue/white/red coord. Check shirt makes it complete.
3. Attention to detail: Ayamo’s rather ~smart~ coordinate adds a rockabilly feel with the bandana!
4. Leopard prints forever. The end.
Love dolly style, because it is almost casual lolita! Interesting to see how black pieces make integral parts of the coordinates, just because I always thought I couldn’t wear black with the more sweet/pastel stuff I own. I WAS WRONG

1. 지승배 and 치아키 on Hiphoper
Point: clever layering and mixing texture (especially heavier fabrics as the “second outerwear” under a more focal piece) while matching prints with your shoes! What better way to direct everyone to look at your feet because you are wearing the awesome things that are creepers on them. Tartan kilt with red + check border creepers, and the leopard print pair!! (Also – wine hair is so pretty)
2. Neneko and Maaya on Shiftsnap
At first glance, the left girl’s outfit seems more interesting because of her unique tights and great shoes, but it’s actually the whole look on the right that made me include this here. The cut and geometry of her coat and the way it falls with the aid of an understated but ever-useful belt is brilliant, and her shoes are just as cute as the girl on the left’s. Her blonde short hair just completes the look as a break from all the black, and lets her quirky earring be visisble (click photo for source for earring!!)
3. ??? on Cracker Your Wardrobe
Collars coordinated in an interesting way are rare, but when they exist, they make it onto here. The yellow and black is so playful but smart, when the bright top is matched with high waisted suspender pants (they aren’t overalls, nor jumpers, but they are great) and pumps. The top on the right has a more uncommon collar, nice to see it with sheer sleeves – and this time, conversely, the bottom makes an otherwise smart outfit playful with a light blue skort. (Also – her bag!!!!)
4. 백수지 and 진호성 on Hiphoper
Let me tell you this now: I hate the running shoes the guy is wearing. It almost ruins the coord D: HOWEVER, I have to admit that his multi-print-seemingly-patchwork checkered coat and envelope clutch are carried so well that it redeems the outfit for the flawed shoes. Cute how they match with the girl’s checkered pants (that matches her earmuffs) and also multi-material coat which is 1 part edgy and 3 parts whimsical. Dr. Martens forever.
5. ??? on Spinns
Sofa king badass, matching pieces with the oversized glasses band tees, varsity jackets and black DM’s but very different looks. I like the lacy socks on the left maxi-skirted, more girly look – they surprisingly make a very big difference. The right one reminds me of playing cards and joker even if I can’t really tell what the print on her skirt is, but even if each item is rather busy, it works with the stripy tights.
