my fashion

I've been waiting eagerly for some hats I ordered online. Now I have bunny ears to prance around in when I'm not in the mood to be a bear. I got Dav a domo-kun hat (I'm sure I'll post a pic of him at some point) and another for a friend (but it's a surprise so nothing on that).

Mike sent me the link. Very worth the wait. Thanks, Mike!

And then yesterday, I finally went to the mall to look for a black cardigan. The one I had actually had holes in it. I don't like having to go to a mall to find a particular item. It isn't a fun activity for me. Anyhow, I had little luck until the last chain store I walked in. I wanted to check out a shirt I saw in the window and asked off-hand if they had cardigans. It's not a cardigan sort of store. They did not have cardigans but they did have a very soft black zipper thingy with a hood and I figured it'd be just as useful.

But one thing I really dislike is wearing things with brand names on them. Not infrequently, I'll love something but refuse to buy it cuz the company's name is on it. Growing up in brand name conscious Tokyo, I became the opposite and think advertising for a company is just plain silly (and doesn't even look nice most times).

This black thingy had the company's name on it...in little shiny rhinestones to boot. The extra money and effort they put into it. What a waste. After checking that I could pick off the rhinestones, I bought it. This time though, I decided to be a bit playful and left some of the rhinestones on.
