what to strut at an Izakaya Tapas Bar....

As much as we'd like to wear what ever we want, when ever and where ever, sometimes we must consider the weather, occasion and the setting of where we are headed to. I mean if you are going to school, I wouldn't really recommend decking out head to toe with a dress and your favourite pair of louboutin's.

My point being, I think many girls dread going to an event only to find themselves OVER-dressed or UNDER-dressed. 

And I'm sure being into fashion and all, you've caught onto what outfit is appropriate for various event genres, but here's something pretty new to the scene: JAPANESE IZAKAYA TAPAS BARS! 

Izakaya's have trendy interior decor, require advance reservation and not only are their food innovative and delicious, but they look gourmet! 

So here's the question; Izakaya's don't quite cut it to strut a "five star restaurant" kinda outfit, but also isn't casual enough to JUST wear jeans and a t-shirt. so what is the in-between?  

well here's mine! what's yours?

put on a hat for some posh

put on the off-the-shoulder sweater-dress for some casu.

meeheee~off I go!  

age vs. fashion what's the deal with that?

Age and fashion, that's something we've seen splattered on every cover of every magazine.
have you ever wondered when it was that we realized we gotta tweak our wardrobe to be age appropriate? What do you think influences that start to change our wardrobes? and so I thought maybe today I'll wear sumthin I wouldn't usually...it just came to mind when I was staring at my wardrobe.....

blouse: topshop / hat: tokyo seibu / pants: honeys / shoes: prada 

There's just something special about a woman in a hat

"Fashion is a kind of communication. It's a language without words. A great hat speaks for itself."

hats that have big floppy rims are what`s HOT in Japan. I got two...and hoping to get a couple more!
