Fashion

The fashion here for girls is of most particular interest to me. High buns on top of the head with loose bangs and hair hanging down. Very large scarves that are wrapped around their necks several times, used also to block wind from hitting the lower half of the face/ ie instead of a face mask pull up your scarf. School girls do have long skirts here, as is appropriate, but I do see girls around the train stations pinning their skirts shorter. That is the fad in Tokyo and while it is fashionable here to wear mini skirts, it is also against many school's dress codes. Women older than school age wear mini skirts with tights. Sometimes they wear Bermuda length shorts with black, brown, or navy tights. And every female in Japan wears boots.

You may have seen that I have adopted the high bun look in some of my pictures, I need more hair though Lol my hair it to short for it to look perfect. I have already been doing the scarf thing over my face. I think it looks weird in America for people to cover their faces but here it is normal and I do it without hesitation when it is cold. I did bring my boots, but there is no way on Earth that I am going to where those out to school, or out about traveling where walking consists of daily life here. I will wear them to go to a specific place for a specific time, but my feet wouln't be able to last a whole day of walking the Japanese life.
