1950s Cat Cafe

Um, excuse me. But look at my tights. HOW ADORABLE ARE THEY?? I have kittens on my knees!!! My mum found this amazing vintage dress for me (for something ridiculous like $1) a few months back, and I just got around to altering it. It was a size 18, long, 1950s milk-bar waitress style dress, but with these unfortunate puffy sleeves. So I shortened it considerably, took it in at the waist and shoulders, and fixed the collar so it buttons up to my neck. It's retained its 1950s waitress-ness, but looks a heck of a lot more flattering. This outfit, a combination of a 1950s waitress-style and cats, is a tribute to Tokyo cat cafes! I can't believe I didn't go to any while I was in Japan. However, I may possibly be going back at the end of the year and I'll have to endeavour to go! Although, I won't be able to wear this outfit. I could just imagine a cat climbing up onto me and doing its weirdo kneading thing and well, sayonara, tights. wearing dress -Vintage tights - c/o Oasap belt - Vintage necklace - c/o Oasap hat - c/o Wholesale shoes - Rubi Shoes That's all from me today!

Pastel Green Garden

 Okay. So with all my bragging about how easy it was to get pastel blue hair.... well HAHAHA on me: it's gone green. Still, I don't hate it, and it's gone quite a nice pastel green at least, not seaweed green or oscar the grouch green or baby-poo green. At the very least. Anyway, this week I'm going to try bleaching it again and then mixing Turquoise hairdye with Blue hairdye and see what happens.

I paired my green hair with an amazing pleated pastel skirt that I bought in Tokyo. Isn't it pretty? Also, I got this lovely bag vintage as well, for $5 in Salvos, just yesterday! And it fits my camera - no more ugly red (and practical) camera bag for me! Hooray!

Vintage tokyo

So before I left for Tokyo I had NO idea just how amazing the clothes shopping would be. It has just exceeded my expectations and beyond. These are just some terrible quality photos taken last night in the shimokitazawa district, which I felt needed to be shared because in this little town I found the most amazing, incredible well priced vintage arcades I have ever seen in my life. In just one arcade there were literally 30 different little vintage boutiques. I also bought some gorgeous skirts and shirts for 630 yen (about $7.50) each, and a ring, and took pictures of those too. (I do have much better photos of everything in Tokyo but they will have to wait. Sorry about the photos being sideways too, I can't figure out how to rotate them, haha.) Enjoy :)
