Officially back in the States, and already missing Japan. We were gone for two full weeks and we fell in love instantly. (By WE, I mean the boyfriend and I) We could definitely see ourselves moving there; I am pretty dead serious about it, just not sure if the boyfriend is or not..
I am of course going to miss so much about Tokyo. The fashion for one! To some, the Japanese fashion may not be very appealing, but I loved it; it depends on the type of fashion you see as well. Some of it very Harajuku style, and I am personally not into that as much, but it was definitely interesting to see. I prefer the other side of the style spectrum, the more casual, not as wacky, looks. They are very modestly dressed, not trashy looking like you see a lot more here in the States. While their skirts can get pretty short, their blouses aren’t very low-cut; they’re more of a leg society (they don’t mind showing off a lot of leg, but not the breasts), which is A-okay! ‘Cause I am lacking in the latter… Anyways, I really wanted to come back with a ton of Japanese fashion. Sadly, the dresses I bought from Forever 21 and Gap don’t fall into that category quite so much. I can work with it though to make it look more Japanese. I DID however, buy a pair of adorable thigh-high socks/pantyhose, that have a cat head at the top of the sock where it ends on the thigh. They’re sadly pretty sexualized here, but in Japan, no one thinks anything of it. I can’t wait to try wearing them. It will definitely be an interesting occasion.
