There are a variety of stores selling bags, especially at this time of the year. Also eBay has a lot of bags for descent prices.



Uniform

This depends on your schools uniform code. If your not flexiable you can still wear a small Kawaii hairclip such as the one below which will add a small touch of Kawaii to a boring outfit.

Kawaii-B All About: Kogal


♥Kogal is a subculture of gyaru fashion that focuses on Japanese school fashion. Kogal is typically seen with loose socks,a shorted skirt and often dyed hair. While they used to have a bad reputation, popularity of the fashion sub-culture has recently increased

The term "Kogal" comes from Kogyaru which is short for

Hair
The hairstyle which is mostly seen is curly in natural colours such as 
dark brown,light brown, blond or black.


Makeup
Big doll-like eyes, slightly blushed checks and pink lips.The typical Kogal makeup involves typical Gyaru makeup.Fake eyelashes are put on the outer corner of your eye with a fake eyelash line which is done by drawing a line with your eyeliner that slightly extends your 
natural eye length.Sometimes a fake tan is also used.Fake eyelashes are usually cut in half to add more of a doll-eye effect. 

 Tops



For tops there are two different styles.A western style with a shirt (White, pink, blue e.t.c) 

and tie or a bow and sometimes a vest or a more tradional Japanese style with a sailor styled top known as a "Seifuku" (Sailor Fuku) as seen in the picture to the left. The bows come in a variety of colours and a variety of patterns including checkered and spotted.
