Some tips for you!!! YOU ARE WELCOME!!! Lol.
Flip and pick: Look at pictures from magazines like Vivi, Mina, Popteen etc. I super giam i don't buy them O.O I borrow lolol. Flip through the magazines and pick up ideas from the 10000000 styles!!!
Layering: One way to stand out from the crowd would be to layer your outfits. Teeshirt alone might be boring. Teeshirt with a cardigan! Teeshirt with a exaggerated brooch! Sounds better? Wear your dress with leggings or a inner lining with lace! =D
Accessorize: From top to toe!!! Hair pieces, necklaces, bangles, handbag!!! Every tiny bit of accessories will help! Hats and eyewear will be perfect!!!
Makeup and Hairdo: Don't forget your hair and makeup!!! Match it with your outfit! Volume and liveliness is always good ^.^
Follow the pointers and improvise and post as many pictures as you like to stand a chance to win when the time comes!!!

So Harajuke Street Style is a BIG phrase. It involves many categories. Some of it are..
DECORA
Where the girls have on SUPER LOTS OF cutsey accessories, that i figured, are usually FURRY, PUFFY, PINK, bright and maybe lotsa plastic on the hairclips. Lol.
GOTH/ GOTHIC
Really dark with a tinge of.. Gloominess. Lol. I relate them to living dead dolls.
Another style pretty similar to goth, is the punk style.
PUNK
The getup with black as main colour, some chain, and most of the time, a jacket. Also some studs/ black leather accessories might be seen along with the punk style.
GANGURO (KOGAL)
The term translates to ‘black-faced’. The girls usually have bright coloured hair, really dark skin (faces) and white highlights on area like their lips, brow bone and undereye. HOW FUN IS THIS!!! They dress up in ultra mega luminously colourful clothes, from top to bottom, accessories to shoes!
KIGURUMI
HAHA. CUTE OR NOT?!?! I want also!!! This style is generally cute mascoty-look-alike outfits!!! I WANT LAH!!! I always see babies got bumble bee and bear overall. I also want my bunny overall =((
LOLITA
Awww.. So princessy and dolly!!!
And one more of the lolita style!!! Just do overturn cupcake dress, cute wavy big hair, and spice up the rest with a little bit of lace, frills, cute fine prints, ribbons and bows! =DDD
URAHARA
This style is actually more for guys who're into skater-fashion, something like a mixture of sports and hip-hop, jazzed up by colours, bold prints and bright accessories! So girls like the two above can don this look also!!! =DDD
There is also a few others like Visual Kei, Cosplay and maid O.O Hahah. Notti notti~~~ Okay anyway, google them if you're keen! They are very far-fetch from what we'd do here so.. I'm moving on from the wide range of styles, back to what we can relate much more easily to here!
HARAJUKU STREET STYLE!!!
Something simple but stylish.. Don a outerwear or throw a shawl over. A little bit of this, makes it's a the whole look a whole lot more interesting.
Checks and bow ties. A cool bob hair cut and top it all up with a geeky specs 8D
Don't forget to wear a cap whenever you can! =DDD I think hat adds to star-factor. Lol.

So what i gather is that Harajuku fashion is about mixing and matching and spicing it up with accessories, taking care of the tiny details to bring out your own flavour from the outfit!

It's really like YOU wear the outfit and not just throwing the outfit over yourself. It's beyond looking good, it's about displaying your character.
Okay you think i talk talk talk no do right? YOU SCROLL DOWN AND SEE! Lol. Those are the outfits i got from a few participating brands!
