I must admit I was rather pleased when the topic for this weeks Share-in_Style was Japanese Style,
as I have had enjoyable Summer discovering the joy of wearing a Japanese label Moyuru.
The interesting and relaxed shapes of their clothing makes them a joy to wear,along with their wonderful fabrics.They fit the category of different,structural and timeless,always a must when I am adding to my wardrobe plus they work back with my favourites from seasons past.
Japanese fashion covers such a wide range of styles from the beautiful traditional kimono to the very modern dressing ,encompassing everything from animae characters to goth to Lolita in many forms.
I have been following L’ideal, a blog set in Tokyo ,featuring some wonderful men and women all over 60 with the most wonderful individual styles,definately worth checking out for those interested in Japanese styling,both traditional and modern.
On the blog I discovered two terms relating to clothing style.The first is ” Hazushi”, translated as the way to put different fashion styles together.The second is “Wabi-Sabi” ,,this represents a comprehensive Japanese view of aesthetic centred on the acceptance of transience and imperfection.The aesthetic is sometimes described as one of beauty that is imperfect,impermanent and incomplete.These thoughts resonate with me.
Discovering and playing with something new always a joy,keeps life interesting I say.
Apologies for today’s photos, my husband and photographer is away enjoying a camping trip with our eldest son, so I had to resort to the tripod.
For my take on Japanese style this is what I wore.
Black Pants Moyaru
White Shirt Nicola Waite
Shoes Robert Clergerie
Bag Spencer & Rutherford
Sunglasses Chanel
- Black Hat Very old
I also wore this resin bracelet
and these earrings,both unknown brands.
I love the shapes of both of them ,the
ear rings remind me of an acorn wearing a hat.

Jill I LOVE this outfit. You actually look like you're wandering around Giverny rather than Tokyo. One more time, I LOVE this outfit!!! So happy to have found you!
Thank you Connie,the feeling is mutual,I too am happy to make contact.Very flattered about the Giverney reference as the garden is not at its best after a warm,dry summer.
So interesting this post. Thank your for sharing. You look lovely!Jasmine xFor a Real Woman
Than you Jasmine, I always enjoy sharing with Share in Style.
This is such a unique find. I adore the handbag.bisousSuzannehttp://www.suzannecarillo.com
Thank you Suzanne, I can see this handbag with some of your wonderful vintage pieces.
Love the pants, they look comfy and quirky AND have pockets. Also rather envious of the blouse, not to mention the hat! Can't walk in heeled shoes to save my life though, the turn me into some tottering old biddy. I came over here from Connie's blog and have scrolled back through your earlier postings to gawp in disbelief at the stunning roses around your gate and to laugh at the non-sailors eyeing up boats – I've got a man like that at home! |:-)-x
Thank you so much for coming over from Connie,s blog,that surely is the joy of blogging .Glad you liked the outfit,it is so comfy to year.The shoes,I know,I still try but really shouldn,t.Glad you liked the garden and those photos were taken at its peak.Will pop over to check your blog,the title is intriguing.Once again thanks for visiting. x
I remember those trousers in a previous post as they have a special style. The shirt with the black ribbon is elegant. I like the whole look!You are very nice with that hat! ( and also have the most cute purse!! )
Thank you Dan,you do have a good eye,the pants have been worn before,they have become a summer favourite as is this shirt from many summers ago.Have a good week.
Hi Jill! Love your creative outfit here. It's fresh and modern and looks very comfortable too. I'm so looking forward to Spring.
Thank you Joni, I am loving this kind of look this year and feel it will continue as it is so comfortable to wear.I am sure you hope for an end to Winter and the arrival of Spring days.
