I have often dreamed of going to Japan. Not just
because of ‘Lost in Translation’ or my love of Plum
wine (Mmmmmm plum wine) but because it seems like such a bustling and alive
city.
Next week this dream will become a reality
when I get on a plane and whisk my way to the land of the rising sun.
The rough plan so far is:
Day 1: Sumo
Day 2: Disney
Day 3: All things cute and crazy at the
Anime part of town!
Day 4: Mt Fuji
Day 5: Rockabilly’s in the park and fly home.
As you can see it involves a lot of girlie cuteness
and fat men in suits.
Planning what to wear on my travels as been
an arduous task. I see Tokyo
as the fashion capital of the world where anything goes so in honor of that I’m going to wear and try all the things I am always
to scared to do.
1.
Bowler hat.
Anyone that
knows me well will at some time or other heard me rant about my love of bowler
hats and how sad it is they have disappeared. So I bought one in a Korean
market and it is ready and waiting to be worn on the trip (every day apart from
Disney day of course, that days reserved for crazy Minnie ears!)
I miss Vintage
things. Here in Korea
it’s been impossibly hot, So
hot that all my clothes are shrinking. Also it’s just horribly humid and not suitable for my clothes BUT in cool
and autum-ie Japan I can wear some of my favorites.
3.
Bright colors.
I get scared of
bright colors. It took me years to wear nail vanish let alone a pink dress but
this holiday I’m making it happen. Pink
dress ahoy.
4.
Knee high socks.
I think everyone
has an item they buy but never wear. For me this is the knee high socks. I have
bought countless pairs with a mission to wear them, only to find that I chicken
out but not this time. I shall be a knee high wonder in Tokyo.
5.
Red lipstick.
Although I wear
red lipstick a lot at night I am fearful to put it on in the harsh day light
but this is all about to change. New country , new rules.
Tokyo, I can’t wait to be in you!!!!!
