Yeah sorry...

I haven't updated in a little bit.  I've been ridiculously busy getting ready for a huge event my work had.  But I have the day off which I've already decided to spend buried under covers and trying to catch up on my TV shows.  I have some kind of gunk (doesn't everyone right now) which is making me congested and hurty so I'm gobbling my dad's recipe of vegetable soup in heaping spoonfuls.  It's making me feel a little better.

This is just a quick clothes post and then I'm off to hide from the cold and rain.

November 10th:

It was our late Halloween event and this was my costume.  If you don't get this, I don't think we can be friends.  But here's a hint:

I had the umbrella and even the scarf and gloves but it was really sunny and nice so I didn't need either of those.  (Someone snapped a lovely pic of me.)

I was quite popular and many people wanted their photo with me.  :D

I hope you had a lovely weekend and are well (you'd be better off than me).  Back to bed!

Weekly wear...

Hello!  It's Saturday in Japan and the weekend before Halloween.  I've yet to see anything scary but I've been in my house.  I cleaned the place, did a ton of laundry and now I'm just waiting until 10 so I can get my bangs cut.  I also need to pop into the grocery store and pick up some things for cooking.

But I think you came here for the fashion?

Monday:

Jacket H&M, shoes Target, shirt Uniqlo, flats Target, jeans Kohl's, necklace Disneyland.

My week in outfits...

I am currently quite sad.  It's no one thing but a combination of many things like something a friend said to me, my beloved garlic press breaking and my birthday looming on the horizon.  I usually get sad around my birthday but I do have some great activities planned so I am going to try to make it a great birthday.

Anyway, I presume you didn't come here to hear me whine but to see how stylish I can be.  Tokyo is insane right now.  The temperatures are way out of whack and I don't think it's settled on getting cold yet.  Here's what I wore this week.

Monday:

Paris sweater Daiei, pants Kohl's, flats Payless.

Tuesday:

Shirt Target, sweater YesStyle, jeans & boots Kohl's.

Thursday:

Jacket & necklace Forever 21, tee Uniqlo, jeans Colleen Collection (Target), shoes Payless.

Friday:

Shirt Target, vest Goodwill, pants Kohl's and boots eBay (Shiekh).

I hope your weekend isn't sad.

What I wore...

I've been lax on updating feature sections of this blog.  Sorry about that.  Sometimes life in Tokyo moves pretty fast and I simply don't have time to blog.

So I'm a bit behind outfit wise.  There are going to be a bunch here.

September 10th (x2):

Sweater & skirt Goodwill, top Colleen Collection (Target), boots eBay (Shiekh), bracelet Forever 21.

Dress H&M, shoes Payless.

September 11th:

Sweater & jeans Uniqlo, shoes Payless and top H&M.

September 19th:

September 20th:

I wish I had one of everything in this color.  Such a beautiful color but so hard to find.  Blouse Forever 21, tank Wal-Mart, skirt Target, boots eBay (Shiekh).

September 22nd:

Top Daiei, leggins Wal-Mart, boots Kohl's, bracelet Forever 21.

Whew!  I'll try not to procrastinate clothes so much next time.  I hope your week is starting out fine.  I'm off to bed!

And this is how you trade in flip flops for fashion...

My summer is officially over with the start of this week so I cannot justify living in my sandals any longer.  They are still the most comfortable shoes I own and I still maintain I was either a hippie or Transcendetalist in a past life walking through the grass shoeless and carefree.  I'll never match Japanese girls in that respect.  I still do not understand how they walk everywhere in sometimes ridiculous heels.

Today, I tried to do my eye makeup and I know I can make it look better.  I just need some practice.

Anyway, I am attempting to force it to be cooler by duping Japan with my fall clothing.  It hasn't worked yet and by Friday I was back in shorts.

Monday:

Sweater and shirt Uniqlo, skirt Goodwill (Gap brand), necklace Forever 21 and boots Kohl's.

Tuesday:

Had a freak accident Monday night and sliced into my finger.  I've been using dull knives for like 10 years, I have no idea how sharp new knives actually are.  Anyway, Shirt Uniqlo, jeans Colleen collection (Target), shoes Payless, necklace Kohl's and jacket H&M.

Thursday:

Love love love these pants from Forever 21, shoes Payless, sweater & shirt Uniqlo.

(I do realize that I am a walking advertisement for Uniqlo but their clothes are so damn cheap!  Need to pick up some of their new cardis.)

Friday:

My poor poor shorts.  The hem came undone part way (which I temporarily fixed) and then all the way when I washed them.  I won't be wearing these until I can fix the hem properly which means (unfortunately) hand sewing.  Shorts Kohl's, shirt Target, shoes Shiekh (from eBay).

Sunday:

Shirt Target, shorts Zara, shoes Fergalicious.

Today, I went shopping with a friend in Kichijōji 吉祥寺 the best place to visit that isn't anywhere near my house.  This place is cool and apparently the place where most people in Tokyo wished they lived.  I wish I lived there but I'd probably be dead broke if I did.  Anyway, today was screaming with deals (the best was either two tops for ¥745 or a pair of flats for ¥950).  I absolutely cannot wait to wear my new clothes but some will sadly have to wait for cooler temperatures.

I hope your weekend turned out to be a happy one. 

Week in review...

I wore some stuff.  Here is that stuff.

Monday:

This is before the hair panic attack.  Dress Uniqlo, leggins Kohl's, shoes Payless, necklace made by me.

Slacking...

So yeah I have two outfits from last week that I never got around to posting.  Here they are!

Some of my pics are blurry lately.  I don't like that.  So I can't remember the day but you're looking at an entire outfit from Kohl's.  Srsly.  Necklace Lia Sophia.

Again, I don't remember the day.  Shoes from Shiekh, leggins & necklace Kohl's, tank Forever 21 and overshirt Zizibeh.

Today:

Pants, top and shoes from Kohl's, tank from H&M.

(I shop at Kohl's a lot.)

I don't know how much I like my clothes lately.  What do you think?
