Prints and Patterns

  I went skipping stones in my Hanae Mori dress that I thrifted. It was such a beautiful day in February at the Tamagawa River, I didn't even need my jacket so I just slipped on my light Zara jacket. (It was super cold the next day though..)


On me:
Dress - Hanae Mori
Jacket - Zara
Back Pack - Zara
Oxford - Pertini
Tights - Kutsushitaya (靴下屋)
Watch - Triwa


The pattern of this dress reminds me of the cards used in the Japanese card game Hanafuda (花札). I believe the design is composed of momiji leaves and flowing water. 



  I don't know if you can tell in the pictures but the jacket has these whimsical patterns printed on them? It looks something like a really lazy paisley. (That's what I would call it) I love how I can match the two distinct patterns in this outfit, it works because the jacket's pattern is subtle.



Now that it's April, the weather is getting a lot better so I'm looking forward to wear all the spring/summer clothes I got in my winter sale. They've been rotting in my room for god knows how long.
