I'm no expert but this is what I believe:
Hime Gyaru
You all know that Hime Gyarus wear over the top frills and lace, jewels and pearls with big puffy, curly hair; basically resembling a 'modern' 18th Century European Princess. Their style basically screams richness and royalty!!
The best example would be from Jesus Diamante:
Hime-Kaji
Hime-Kaji is much more subtle compared to normal Hime wear. It blends into normal everday wear while still giving a hint of princess. The hair is still curled but not done in such an extravagant way. This style is soft and sweet.

Both Hime and Hime-Kaji wear incorporate the glamour of a royal princess, but one is exaggerated and the other is simple!!
As for age, I've been finding videos everywhere about the older generation picking up on the Japanese youth's fashion! I'm not sure if this could be considered "Onee Hime" (older sister princess), I could be translating wrong!! But....
You're never too old!!

Of course, you can tell, I'd much prefer Hime-Kaji!!
Hope I've helped!
