I wore this outfit the day before my sister and I went shopping in Harajuku and Ameyoko. So technically this was my Saturday outfit (Friday in the U.S.). My sister and I were recovering from having spent our entire Friday at Disney Sea and just kicked back all day on Saturday. I didn't have to worry about layering up too much since we were indoors all day, but I wanted to walk over to a convenience store nearby for some dinner and something to drink. As I mentioned in my previous post, my biggest mistake in packing was not bringing boots or sneakers. Buying socks for flats made a pretty big difference and my toes were not as cold.
I've narrowed down my favorite photos from each day of my trip so my next post I'll be sharing a recap of my first day in Japan. I am so happy that last year I ended it by traveling and then spending the holidays with my family. I have been thinking about my resolutions for this year and have decided I just want to continue trying new things. At the end of the year we tend to forget we've accomplished a lot as we reflect on whether we kept our resolutions from last New Year's Eve. I sort of stuck to mine of being more eco-friendly when it came to buying clothes and opted to buy secondhand as opposed to new more often. I went a little overboard and now have way too much in my closet so my goals are to reduce the amount of clothes I own. I've invested in some really good pieces and now just need to trim out what I am not wearing. It will probably make getting dressed in the morning easier, but I sometimes think it is harder to appreciate what you have if you own too much. Trying to figure out what to pack opened my eyes of how I am really able to create completely different outfits by only taking a few key pieces. I tried to fit a weeks worth into a carry on, and having fewer options forced me to be a little more creative. I look forward to approaching my closet like that everyday and really mixing what I own already.
Hope you've had a great weekend and have kept to your New Year's resolutions. Stay tuned for my Travel series in the next few posts.
Until next time!
