This post is dedicated to the schoolgirls in Nara, Japan , who made my day special and my sister who made the dress.
There’s a beauty in handmade dresses and some magic at the same time in the fact that they are made with love just for you . I love handmade clothes because they are unique. No-one else will have another one .
My sister made this one and she asked me to take it with me on my trip to Japan. My amazing trip to Japan ,which I will slowly be uploading posts about .
I had promised her ( or she made me promise her) that I will be making a post out of it and so I did! In Japan we were non stop, so finding a place for a photoshoot had to be a quick decision. If it didn’t happen there and then , then it would never happen.
On that day we were visiting the big Buddha in Nara ( must see and coming in a post soon). On our way there from Osaka though everyone kept commenting on the dress and how I looked. ” So cute , so cute” . To be honest , for Japanese standards this dress was standing out quite a bit ( it’s more monochrome in Japan , yet very very stylish) . So the best place we could come up with for a photoshoot was the big courtyard in front of the shrine! I know , I know maybe I shouldn’t have but it was soo beautiful I just had to.
I did manage to make myself quite noticed I guess ( not that its difficult for me – only talking about my loudness here) and these lovely school girls came up to me asking me for a picture . This for me is the best compliment you can get because it’s so pure . I was so excited and they were so excited too! They kept telling me “you’re so cute, so beautiful” . One of the best moments in the trip for sure so for this I am really thankful! Hence why their picture is first in this blogpost!
I combined the dress with a pair of Superstars , ankle socks of course and a traditional Japanese fan! 🙂
If anyone is reading from Japan or from Nara in fact, please share so that it gets to them! So grateful for all the memories, thank you!
Enjoy xx
My amazing lovely girls!
