#tokyo fashion
I had plans to go see wisterias, but I missed them again this year, so I went to see the May roses at Jindai botanical gardens. Since it was “on the way” (on my crazy walking standards), I also visited Coffee House Tom, a kissa that used to be in Yoyogi, but moved to Chofu, as well as all the very traditional Japanese area surrounding Jindaiji. See my Instagram for those pictures.

Next time, I’ll refrain from taking pictures outside at noon on a sunny day, especially if I wear dark clothes. Dat exposure. Dat white bright face
I am also having issues with my eyes (again; must be the pollution), so no eye makeup + glasses, sorry! Btw, I am wearing a low-poof petticoat here even though it doesn’t look like it due to the weight of the bag+coat+wool dress.

In early April, my friend Elle came to visit Tokyo, so I took her to Kokoromi, a quaint little kissaten and gallery operated in an old family home.
I know Elle’s favourite colour combo is wine and navy, so I went for that (though this dress is more framboise/plum). Btw, sorry for the lighting; it was really sunny that day and all of my pictures were a bit overexposed (didn’t realise it before I transferred them on my computer), but I did my best with Photoshop to salvage them the best I could.

Please excuse the casual/sneaker grandpa look; Futago-Tamagawa Koen is situated at 12 km from where I live, and that’s a pretty long walk (thank god for audiobooks). It also ended up being 28°C that day.
