Hello everyone, I do hope all is well in your part of the world.
I guess I should explain the title of today’s post, the answer is twofold. The first relates to this outfit , which is very much Japanese in origin. The top was made and purchased by its previous owner (it’s a recycle find ) on a trip to Japan and it is worn with my first ever purchase from Japanese clothing brand Moyuru. At the time I was working at a unique local store , La Cigalle ,( unfortunately no longer ) that stocked the brand. Looking back that is now probably ten years ago .
I know in the photo it looks like a skirt but it is actually a cross between pants and a skirt. Is it a skort , although that is usually shorts with a skirt and thought of as sportswear . Whatever the name I am so glad I discovered Moyuru all those years ago and now have a bit of a collection.
I decided to add a touch of red in my accessories with gloves, earrings , a little vintage hat and Trippen shoes paired with a snazzy pair of cream, black and red socks that also were made in Japan.
The pile of books may be a hint as to the second part – early planning for a return trip to Japan later in the year to see the Autumn colours . We were there in the Spring of 2017 , the cherry blossoms really are beautiful.
Early days in the planning , which is my favourite part , but at this stage it will probably be in November.
Joining Gail at Is This Mutton for Wow on Wednesday.
Have a good week everyone . xxx
Cute outfit as usual!

Thank you so much Nancy.
I have always wondered about your skirts. That makes sense that they are from Japan because they seem to always be on the cutting edge of fashion. How lovely it must have been to see the cherry blossoms and now to see it in Autumn! And, yes, the planning is always part of the fun!
I invite you to join us for the link up on Friday at the Weekend Traffic Jam Reboot!

Thank you Marsha , my skirts are a bit of a mix but many are from Moyuru . The cherry blossoms were so beautiful and are much revered in Japan.
Your Japanese outfit is absolutely amazing, and I am so thrilled for you that you are making plans to return to Japan! Planning a holiday is my favourite part as well! xxx

Thank you so very much Emma , I was pleased with how this outfit worked together. Japan is a wonderful place to visit if you ever get the chance.
Hi Jill,
I love your recycling style, panache. And the socks! They look fabulous with the shoes
and are a statement on their own. How exciting to team your wonderful outfit with your
plans for an autumn trip to Japan. Enjoy.
Love,
Elizabeth.

Thank you so very much Elizabeth, I was pleased with the top and it did take me back to our trip to Japan in 2017 and some of the textiles I saw then . Hopefully a return trip later this year. I do love these socks , a naughty Melbourne purchase a while ago.
Super stylish outfit Jill. I love the Moyuru skort. I have always wanted to see Japan and particularly the blossoms. One day!
