Shirt Forever 21/ Cardigan Charlotte Russe/ Jeans Hollister / Bag Tiganello
This is one recreation of my favorite outfits from freshmen year. ( Ancient Youtube video here!) I was really into the whole Japanese fashion scene after my second trip to Japan, where I did a ton of people watching, doodling, and shopping in the Harajuku and Shibuya districts. Although it might not show through as much in my style now 🙁 , I have been a Japanophile for as long as I can remember! If you want some hilarious entertainment, I actually recreated some looks from pages of my Japanese magazines and photoshopped me and my friend Tiffany into the pictures on some old blog posts! Here is the link to the first post and the second post. In case you are wondering, “Kitsune”, the title of this post, means fox in Japanese. I picked this phrase because I think the leopard scarf and sharp makeup give this outfit a somewhat fox-y feel! (Photos by Ed Tran.)
Me and my great friend Ed Tran took these photos together. He is definitely one of the first people that come to mind when I hear the word “polymath”, which is pretty remarkable because that means he is grouped in my head with Leonardo Da Vinci. Not an everyday feat…
I really hope you guys enjoy this outfit! It is a resurfacing of some of my hidden, older style, and I will try to do more of these looks in the future. The accessory on my bag is actually a tissue holder that my friend gave me as a present. I love to attach big accessories to bags because it gives it a much more unique and personal ring! Of course, it might draw some stares, but I always wear things that I am comfortable in. This is an important thing to keep in mind about fashion, you won’t mind as much what passerbys think as long as you have a certain level of comfort in your own outfit, so know what your limits of comfort are! I am not so much intimidated as lightheartedly amused and intrigued in people’s reactions to some of the weirder trends that I like to incorporate.
Hope you lovely readers have a great Friday night! <3
