CPK general.
Does anyone have any ideal outfit photos that you feel just completely represent CPK?
Any good ebay/aliexpress/taobao shops?
How often do you dress in CPK?
Not really an ideal outfit but I don't think any cpk coord is complete without a cross. I'm thinking of making my own like this one I like the plushy look to it.
that red tho

I bet you dont think any cult party coord is complete without a peignoir either.
>>8697001
oh no someone liking crosses in cpk how weird how strange
Ignorant question here, but what 'look' does CPK try to embody or achieve?
>>8697009
I guess the point went over your head then.
that cringy comment

Any answer will be very generalised as it isn't a fashion per se (beyond westerner's definition) but quite a few looks with similar themes and aesthetics that arose from those who worked at and bought items from the Cult Party/The Virgin Mary thrift store.
So in general, outfits are often super layered, with creative use of different textures and lengths of outfit items, inclusion of things like doll's heads, crosses (religious or medical) are used but not necessary and adds an edge beyond just being 'cute'. Mainly a dusty and/or soft pastel colour palette is used with bright red thrown in (either in the outfit or the lipstick and blusher).
So to summarize; dreamy, whimsical antique/vintage doll with classic shoujo and occasionally somewhat edgey elements.

here is a link to that cross on AE (probably can find it cheaper on taobao)
I bought it for cpk and the red looks orangy in the photo but is a true red irl

Also she's my favorite westerner who does cpk and I think really nails the aesthetic. Nombee-zombie or whatever her name is sometimes nails it, sometimes completely misses
Also does someone recognize this skirt? I've seen it in a few street snaps and have a mighty need

Who? Also, more westerners doing cpk plz
>>8697054

Girl in the op cosmashanti (formerly princesstrashcan I think?
Also I wish I could post more westerners, but most really don't understand cult party kei

she doesnt post many cpk coords anymore
she's dyed her hair brown and she just posts pics of her cat and such so i think she's toning it down

His expression tho. . .
hey all, i'm new to CPK and i was wondering if there's anything in particular that i should avoid / anything considered ita in this fashion?
>>8710924
Clashing color but I think that's pretty much all next to lacking layers and wearing non-comfy clothign pieces.
>>8710924
yeah there's a bunch
>wearing a peignoir and flower crown with a normie outfit and calling it cpk
>wearing all white
>skipping the pop of red
>not including crosses (medical or catholic)
>not having a medical, dolly, and/or slightly creepy theme
>inappropriate makeup and hair styling
>wearing only materials that are too heavy
>not mixing material weight correctly
>wrong silhouette
>thinking you can combine lolita with it
>being afraid of pops of color
>not enough layers
>>8712479
Pretty much this except you don't /have/ to have crosses
>>8712479
>thinking you combine lolita with it
except you can just like you can add things from fairy kei, mori, natural, decora, etc to lolita
Is this ok for CPK?
Is it possible to CPK in the summer time?
Minor dump while I look for summer CPK coords.
>>8712707
crosses really drive the look home though
>>8712717
lolita does not combine well with cult party. i strongly, strongly, advise against it
every single attempt i have seen to combine them has failed
i believe it's because cpk is far more mismatched than lolita
>>8712727
I'm having the opposite problem. Winter can be wet on the east coast and cpk is not a rain friendly fashion
