When I tell you that I am slow in following latest fashion trends, I am not kidding. For instance this matchy – matchy or coordinate trend that started maybe a few months back, I jumped on the bandwagon only recently. I don’t follow fashion trends because, first, there are so many of them around that it makes it sometimes difficult to keep up with them; second, I don’t wanna push all my old (out of fashion) clothes into the back of my wardrobe as it somehow makes me feel guilty. Last, not all trends look good on me, for instance culottes! I have tried them on more than once, but on me, they look strange, as if I am wearing my dad’s shrunk pajamas!
However one trend I am happy following is matching sets or coordinates. I think it is not something that will look bad on anyone, plus you can use any item on its own and make a statement or just make a cool outfit together. I can’t stress how simple and easy it has made my life. For instance this outfit I am wearing, I just throw it on with some flats when I am going out, or I just dress it up with a blazer and some black pumps for work. No brains are used in the mornings any more!

Wore this one Sunday afternoon to visit Shitenno-ji Temple 四天王寺 near my house. They have so many cute turtles in their small pond plus a flea market every month! Be sure to go there if you are in Osaka! You will not regret it!
