I will admit, I only have three "on-brand" pieces of clothing. I am a firm believer of off-brand clothing, and even hand-made pieces being more than good enough to pass for the 2000's gyaru style.
Luckily for me, I was born from a fashion designer and seamstress who grew up in the most loved ages of fashion, the 70s, 80s, 90s, and 2000s. Her pieces she made for herself before I was born are now what I often use for my gal pieces.
Every time I wanted something new, I would often sneak into my momma's never ending closet full of vintage brands and put together something that I could call my own. Without this at my disposal, there would be no way I could ever build a wardrobe this inclusive by myself in the singular year that I've been into gyaru fashion. To be honest, my momma is more core gal than I am, and I seriously look up to her everyday because of it!
While most of my closet can not be replaced, some of my favorite off-brands here in America are Juicy Couture, Roxy, Guess, and Forever 21. The shoe brand Soda is also a rarer 90s American style type of alternative brand for platforms!
I hope to collect more unique pieces and do another closet update in the near future!
