Maison Ikkoku
Jan. 18th, 2024 05:35 pmI want to make all of Kyoko's outfits from Maison Ikkoku.
Partially because I am rereading the series and absolutely living for the vibe of 1980s Japan, and her outfits are just as cute and pretty as can be. And the other part is, I'm doing a no-buy year, so I want to make new things. Learn some skills. Maybe fix the busted parts of my sewing machine (or learn to use the serger -- or just commit to doing a lot of tedious hand-sewing)
And the OTHER other part is, my friend is putting together a trip to Italy in the fall, and I want us to work together to collect as many "Ciao, bella" comments as possible. It will be easy for her because she already dresses in a very cute fashion, but I'm going to have to cultivate a wardrobe for this trip. And not just for the trip, everyone knows that you only bring things on trips that you never wear at home, and then you feel really uncomfortable and weird on your vacation. But if I cultivate the normal attitude of wearing these kinds of clothes all the time in advance, then I will garner many "Ciao, bella!"s with both my lovely wardrobe and my comfort and confidence and beauty in it.
