So....Clothing in Japan.

Start with the men.
-So, so, so, so many cute Japanese men in suits. It was so adorable. Even the older Japanese men look good in suits, but so many 20-30 something aged men, and oh my. Be still my heart!

Women
(because there are so many different styles)
- Bitch socks ( as my cousin calls them). Those terrible knee length socks, so often in black that are worn with high heels and mini skirts. Ugh, I just hate them!
-Red shoes. Red shoes everywhere!!!! with black socks, no!
- High Heels. So many Japanese women were high heels all the time. My cousin said some even go hiking in them. I mean c'mon, I'm all for fashion, but safety before fashion girls. I guess bunions are rampant due to high heel wearage.
- English words on clothes (see above picture). Yea, so, I didn't see this too much, but I love the non-sensical English words on clothes. I mean come on, don't you at least want to make sense in another language?

Well.. I suppose....

P.S. Was I "mean" because when my mother asked what the dog and I were doing I responded " Preforming Madame Butterfly"?
