Ode to My Fashion

I went crazy a few weeks back and got myself some Irish green leggings type pants. At the store, they seem toned down enough hidden in a myriad of other colorful items. However once I got them home, I became worried. How can I wear Irish green pants? How will I style them? I do not own anything Irish green. I like my greens to be olive and a little bit khaki, in other words I like my green subtle. So why on earth I went and got Irish green pants? Maybe because I wanted a change? Maybe because I was influenced? Whatever the reason, there I was stuck with green pants I had no idea how to wear. I decided to google the pants to have an idea of how other people were wearing them. Soon enough I found two pictures of bloggers who rocked the pants with trench coats. They look good but I wanted more. I wrote a fave blogger who loves green about how to style the pants and she said that she was going to get back to me soon. Anyway, I did not want to wait any longer because those pants are thi...

I had a fun week with my son out of school for Easter holiday. On Monday, I went on a shopping spree at H&M (mostly for my business), on Wednesday, I organized a picnic at the park with some other mom friends. But Friday was the highlight when I took a trip to the Zoo with my best Japanese girlfriend and our kids. We drove down to Zoorasia, another zoo in Kanagawa area. Unlike Nogeyama which is free and small, Zoorasia is this big park full of interesting animals, lots of playgrounds for the kiddies and plenty of resting areas and restaurants. We spend the entire day there. It was so much fun to discover new animals like the Ocelot, the Clouded leopard, the Okapi and to learn about the life of Chimpanzees. Anyway I wanted to be simple and comfy as I knew we would walk a lot so I wore this: White scarf - Walmart Jacket - Thrifted Cardigan - Gap Turtle neck tee - Sexy Miser Jeans - Thrifted Shoes - H&M Bags - Seoul market and Daiso At one of the Zoo's pl...

Today was one of those other great warm days you wished could last all year around. The sun was out, the sky was blue; not too hot, not cold at all. It was one those days, you would love spending out in a park, or baking under the sun on the seacoast. Or at least I would. I did not have anything special, just the ordinary usual boring life of a housewife. But since it was a nice day, I wanted to look nice. So I decided to wear this: White scarf - Walmart Jacket - Shimamura Wrap cardigan - Gap White tee- Home's Skirt - G.U. Shoes -H&M I bought this skirt on impulse over a month ago at G.U. (Uniqlo other brand). I have been looking for something as good as my favorite black maxi skirt from H&M. This skirt is right up the alley with the breezy air feel it gives me. Plus it is a full skirt unlike the black one. The only problem I have with it is that it is not floor length. But I am going to make it work anyway. "Neon coral" (or Orange as t...

I rarely do an outfit post on Sundays because I spend most of my Sundays at home wearing sweats or going out to the park wearing things that are not worth blogging about (this outfit is not worth blogging about either). But this Sunday was different. The weather was nicer after two days of rain. Therefore we decided to go to Yokohama for a walk. Here is what I wore: Pic taken at Minato Mirai next to World Porters department store Knit hat - H&M Old coat - ??? Grey sweater - Thrifted Turtle neck tee- 390 Mart Bag - Honey Pants - FOS Malaysia Shoes - Ross After a big lunch (pics at the end of the post) of Senegalese Yassa, roasted chicken and rice with sora mame (beans), we decided to go to Yokohama for a walk. We took the train to Minato Mirai and walk from there to Bay Quarter Yokohama. It took us more than 30mns but we enjoyed every minute of it. I always go to Yokohama and Minato Mirai but today I discovered some places I have never seen before like that par...

Today I had another baby shower to attend. I swear I am surrounded by so many pregnant ladies that I started to wonder about having another child (watching the movie Babies did not help either). I would love a girl but just the thought of doing it all over again (the sleepless nights, the diaper changes, the lack of freedom) creeps me out. "In another life" I keep telling myself. Anyway today was really like a Spring day so I decided to wear this: Knit hat - H&M World oldest coat- can't even remember where I got it Grey open cardi - Ross Teal top - Gap Jeans - Thrifted Bag - Honey Shoes - Shimamura I knew the baby shower would be a casual affair so I did not want to dress up. However I wanted to look nice,  meaning better than usual. I thought about wearing a skirt or a dress but decided to go for my jeans instead. See I had this picture of a blogger I discovered recently and I knew I had to wear my teal top. The poor thing has been sleepi...

I assisted to my first baby shower today. An Indian friend of mine had her shower today and I was among the non Indian guests. I was very excited to go. And days before, I was thinking about what I was going to where. Being my first shower I even did some research as to what was appropriate to wear. It inspires me to even write an article about baby shower attire (you can read it here ). However, all the preparation did not lead me anywhere. Being undecided and dressing up in a rush this morning did not help me pick an outfit I liked enough. I was comfy but a bit disappointed in myself. Here is what I wore: I am not smiling coz am so tired Scarf - Langkawi night market Coat - Thrifted Bolero - some random shop in Machida Turtle neck - Seoul night market Dress - Thrifted Shoes - ABC Mart I had been so busy this week that I did not have time to pick an outfit for the party ahead of time. I knew I wanted something comfy because I was to rush from my son's playgro...
