One of the things that I loved about being in Japan was the street style vibes there were always bouncing off of me, giving me inspirations to try out new things with the clothes that are already existing in my own closet. Pairing a baggy, loose something with an even baggier, more loose something was ubiquitous in Tokyo; the Japanese definitely have their very own shabby-boho trend, and I lavsss it. It fits perfectly with my modest style, but with that extra edge that adds a little sum'in sum'in.
I feel like now that I've been back in Malaysia for a while, I'm afraid I'll soon forget how they dress, and it's getting harder to play off those vibes that are thousands of miles away... What can I say, my closet and I miss Tokyo dreadfully.
By the way, that deep fuchsia Bao Bao? I am officially
Got it last year in Tokyo (my wedding anniversary present awww) and I finally got around to wearing it. Hoarding all the good stuff, as usual.
FUCHSIA MUCHSIA?
By the way, that deep fuchsia Bao Bao? I am officially
Uhb. Sessed.
H&M poncho sweater | Ciaopanic dress | Libby Rose denim jacket | Pull & Bear scarf | Adidas Stan Smith x Pharrel Williams | Issey Miyake Bao Bao
Woman, I've worshipped My Miyake since I was 7 years old and to this day, do not own a single thing from the maestro!! I saw the Bao Bao on Poshmark, brand new and for a song, sadly it wasn't in Fuchsia, sigh. It would've been mine otherwise. I really love you, for your style and your bravado, in wearing pieces that the woman of the (Malaysian) street wouldn't even consider. And pulling them off with such panache too xoxo
ReplyDeleteI can totally see how you're such a Miyake woman! Pretty sure you'd be way more Miyake-versed than I ever will be. But wait, the fact that you don't own anything Issey Miyake is a puzzler - is it because you just haven't met "the one"? I didn't think to own anything from them until I went to Japan and saw how ubiquitous Bao Bao was. What can I say, I'm a sucker. And their bags are really beautiful, too, not just the Bao Bao.
DeleteAnyway, I can't wait to see your first Miyake, I'm sure it'll be beautiful and totally worth the wait!
I have to say this. You look absolutely GORGEOUS!!! I love your bag too. Perfect color for Spring!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Irene! Yes, the pink just screams 'spring', doesn't it?
DeleteOne word: GORGEOUS outfit and photos! Loving the whole sakura flowers falling too
ReplyDeleteAww thank you so much Miriam! Yes those falling sakura petals were magical, I want to be taken back there allll the time.
DeleteI like your outfit - urban, hip, and chic. Kudos! Nice meeting you via blog hopping too.
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet compliment, thank you Joyce! And it was nice to "meet" you, too!
DeleteLove you style and the pop of colour infused with your gorg fuschia bag. Lucky you to visit Japan - it;s been a while since I've visited :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Farena! Yes, aren't we both lucky to have visited such an amazing country? I don't know if I'll ever get to visit again so already immensely missing it!
DeleteLove your style.. you sure come across as positive and so confidant in that get up!!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the compliment, Miera! I guess that's what an outfit can convey sometimes. Although, I'm not too sure how exactly positive and confident I really am so I guess it could also be misleading at the same time? Haha.
DeleteI love pink too and have clothes and accessories in many different shades of pink. But sometimes, when I see older women in pink, it just feels funny. I hope I won't turn into those older women in pink. LOL
ReplyDeleteI on the other hand don't own that much pink things in my closet, but sometimes the right pink can make all the difference. I actually think older women can rock pink too, when it's done right! So I'm sure we will all be just fine in pink, no matter how old we get =)
DeleteLoved this post, it's been my dream to go to Tokyo and experience the blossom trees so loved seeing your pictures. Love the pink bag and accents in the scarf. Gemma x
