So, I'm looking for outfit inspo using locally bought items. I.E not from Japan or items made for kawaii fashion.

What kind of things are you looking for, OP? I enjoy combing through normalfag stores to find items that would work.
Forever 21 usually has some cute stuff that can be worn in a casual jfashion sort of way. You just have to dig around for it. If you're going in to the store, do a quick check of each room. If you see a few things you like in one room, then that's the place to go digging for more similar pieces. They often have multiple styles all squeezed onto the same rack so you won't be able to see everything without taking a closer look. On the flip side, if you don't like a room at first glance you're probably not going to find anything you like in that room. Each "room" represents a different style of girl (these change by trend) so your best bet is to gravitate to the girl most like your style.
Other easier jfashions might be dolly kei, cult party kei, or even mori since thrifting is a big part of the styles.
You can find other quirky stuff in thrift stores too for General kawaii shit. If you can fit into kid sizes then try looking at kids clothes. They often have a lot of cute details.
