Ohmeohmy, Omiyage!

Whilst I spent most of the morning debating the decision to belt or not to belt my outfit, the campus mail fairies were hard at work delivering a delightful little package to my mail box. One of the friends I studied with in Japan recently got the oppurtunity to go back to Japan and she sent me a little box of joy. It was filled with all the marvels of Japan goodies! She even read my mind and seemed to realize I was desiring some little funny, footie socks, for two pairs are now in my posession! My feet are now both comfy and cute.

I'm 99% sure I have the same sweater and a tie blouse in red with black polka dots :::looks in closet::: Indeed I do!

Those shoes (white and red), are beyond brilliant. I think I should steal some of your clothes (and no one would know that I'd stolen them b/c we seem to have similar taste's)

Muhahahahhahahha *evil cackle*

Oh I just adore all the little japanese trinkets and frilly things that seem to take over my room!

i am almost always pro-belting.

*is radiating too much jealousy to form a proper sentence*

Amy said...

Those sockettes are so cute - they look fantastic with the shoes and I'd never have thought of coupling them together, but it totally works! Great post!

Aretha said...

I totally love the shoes and polka dots socks idea, I think I'm gonna steal it from you :) heheeh

Natasha said...

socks are so cute, I love it when my aunts send me goodie parcels. I like that they still think I'm like 10 and love hello kitty...well I certainly won't be telling them otherwise! Hmm..I think no belt by the way!

What is that fuzzy brown ladybug thing?

Shen-Shen said...

Hm, I'm leaning towards unbelted. Although I can't decide, both are so cute!

Don't you just hate it when you have to spend forever deciding these things though. I end up spending way too much time on belting/unbelting and the like some days!

Aisha said...

ooh so cute!
I have little socks like the ones you have in red w/ polkadots but in white :)

Amelia said...

I love the little socks. I'd say no belt, but that's just me. I like how the skirt continues the line of buttons from the cardigan.

enc said...

Those are cute. I like how they stick out of the tops of the shoes. How nice that your friend sent you a surprise!

Miss Woo said...

Love those socks. I saw them while I was there and was thinking "nice..but what to wear with?" and now I know!

a cat of impossible colour said...

Super cool socks! (And I think belting is the winner)

savvy gal said...

The belt for sure. It really pulls the outfit together. Whenever I have friends in Japan, I always get them to get me eye masks, great for hydration and dark cycles after a night out. : )

Anna Pope said...

I love the combination of colors in the outfit picture an of course the outfit itself.

And those socks are too cute!

Oh how I hate my busy job for keeping me away from commenting...I love the footie socks! (used to wear them in school to prevent shoebites, only we called them peds in India) :)

N/OutofFashion said...

Cute! how kind of her

susie_bubble said...

Outfit works with or without the belt. I love those kind of socks...so cosy/cute....

Natty said...

I love the outfit with belt myself! Sockettes are very cute, especially Japanese ones! I may go an experiment with mine now!

selinaoolala said...

Elisabeth said...

Wow - the outfit is gorgeous! I love the colours on you!

And I am so jealous of your package! How cute!!

Vain and Vapid said...

I like those red socks, so kawaii... I am inclined to go for the no belt version...

Aren't unexpected gifts through the mail the best thing in the whole world?
