The slip skirt

-

Hey y’all!
A few months ago I was having an exchange with a friend on Instagram. She was rocking a slip skirt and I asked her where she got it from. She told me that if I was to buy the skirt and not wear it , there was no point in her telling me. The thing is she knows me too well. She knows I do not wear anything too revealing or too sexy. And let us be real, those skirts can be sexy.
What she told me felt like a challenge. I had to go and get myself one of those skirts. And I got so lucky I scored two of them on sale. 
I got to wear one of them for an afternoon out with some girlfriends. 

Blazer - thrifted but from Kiabi 

Top - thrifted

Skirt - Numero Uno

Sandals - Sandaga market 

Earrings, necklace and sunglasses - Numero Uno


My first option for styling this skirt was to pair it with this oversized blazer. After all I am still not confident enough. The blazer will hide all the areas I have a problem showing. It would have probably been better with a belt but I wanted something breezy that day and not something restrictive.  I added the little tank to keep things cute. I finished the look with some sandals I bought since January but had yet to wear (story of my life)


I was in a rush so the choice of bag was a disaster. You can see it pictured behind but do not pay it no mind. My fist choice was my brown oversized clutch, but I guess it will be for next time. I actually like how the look came together. I was comfortable and still managed to feel sexy. I also had a great conversation and huge laughs with my girls. We went to this restaurant called La PLaya right in front of the sea. I have been there before only once, last November with my cousins for our monthly get together. The place has a nice view and the food is alright. On that particular day, it was packed. It felt so good to meet my girls after so much time apart. We had been planning this meet since November 2020. That is how busy our lives are. And Covid restrictions did not helpt at all. 





With my girls: Yvette in black and Sokhna in white


With my forrest green mask from Japan and my T neckline (no it is not a cross)

Next time I will try and wear the skirt with a shorter top or make it more casual with a simple tee and slip ons. I am actually happy that I am trying to get out of my comfort zone, that I am wearing items I would have never thought of wearing before. I call it growth. 

Have a great day!

Korea Krazy

Have you watch Japanese TV recently? Everywhere channel to zap to, there is some Korean boys or girls band singing or some Korean drama being aired. Some channels even have so much program around Korean stars that one may wonder if they are watching Korean TV? Japan is going through what they call the "second wave of Korean Boom". Translation, the Koreans are invading Japan with their music, fashion and culture. The first wave started with the famous Korean drama "Fuyu no Sonata" in 2003, and from that moment Japanese have been obsessed with Korea. Korean actors became famous and adored all over the place. And the Korean economy took a boost with many Japanese visiting Korea and shopping like crazy. Now since 2010, the second wave has started but it is more about singers. Bands like Kara, Girls Generation, Tohoushinkei 2PM (to name a few) perform regularly in Japan in front of millions of fans. And up and coming K-pop singers are making their mark in small Korean

Best place to shop in Japan (Tokyo/ Yokohama)

 When I moved back to Japan, I created this blog to talk about my fashion life here. However, I realised that I am not really doing any of it. I talk more about me and less about fashion life in Japan. That is why I decided the following posts will deal only about shopping in Japan. Today, I will talk about my favorite places to shop in Tokyo, Yokohama area. This post maybe long, so bear with me. Zara  My best friend showed me the Spanish brand. And I have been hooked ever since. I am 1.68m, and weigh 60 kilos (one a good day). I have wide hips and a big bottom. Therefore it was always hard for me to find pants my size in Japan. (If you dont' have no idea what Japanese women look like, just think of Lindsay Lohan or Nicole Richie. They-mostly young girls-are petite and weigh around 48 kilos.)Sometimes I had to shop in men's place to find something my size. But this stopped when I discovered Zara. Before going to live in the States, almost all my pants were from Zara. The

Barbie shoes

Barbie Pink Shoes Since I have been back in Japan, I have been so busy that I didn't have time to window shop (plus I am temporarily living in a not so hip part of town). However my daily trips to the supermarket and family restaurants made me notice something interesting/ strange I would like to call Barbie shoes. I think every girl my age or younger living in rich or somehow developing countries knows what a Barbie doll is.I used to dream of owning one after I saw my cousins who came back from the US having a box full of them plus accessories/ I finally owned several of them including one of my favorite: a black Barbie. Anyway, remember the Barbie rubber shoes? They used to be in rubber and in pink color? Well, I saw the exact same thing one some Japanese woman's feet just a few days ago. Now Barbie shoes are different from your usual rubber shoes or jelly sandals. They have heels and the pair I saw was bright pink. I wanted to learn more about the shoes. Therefore, I we
