GOWIGASA Black Striped Top | H&M Bird Prints Skirt | ALL CAPS Dahlia Wedges | GOWIGASA Postman Sling Bag

After #1, #2, #3, and #4, this is the closer look of my Japan outfit #5. I paired this horizontal striped top with bird prints on the bottom and I thought my red Dahlia wedges would be perfect for this look as it brings a pop of color. :)

Anyway, I wore this outfit when I went to Harajuku– the activity post will be up soon!

Stripes are such a huge trend for Spring/Summer 2013, you can spot them pretty much anywhere you can think of. There are horizontal, vertical, diagonal, zigzag, and all other variations of stripes to experiment with. You can pair them with bright colors, different prints, or if you want to go "ALL-IN" you can pair them with another stripes!

Here are some ideas on how to rock Stripes:

If Only

I know Jakarta is a tropical, humid city and there is no way I'm wearing this outfit here, but there are several other countries that are experiencing winter, and this is just a picture of what I would wear if only Jakarta ever had winter. :)

For the main outfit (dress + purse), I picked out the outfit I wore here, because I think it's perfect for a romantic night out. I love that the iridescent green sequins from the dress give you an instant night-time glam while the pink bow purse give a fun twist to the outfit.

And to keep my body temperature up, I threw on this beautiful coat which has the combination of faux fur and leather. This coat also got pockets, so that's a plus point for me as my hands get cold easily. The zipper front also makes it convenient to put on and take off. :)

For shoes, I slipped on these white studded boots to coordinate with the white fur of the coat. And I usually wear tights to cover up my legs if it is really cold outside.

KIDDY LAND - for the human smile (Japan)

First of all, KIDDY LAND is such a great name for a toy store!

This is Disney "Pop n Step". It means they can all dance together by doing little steps (that's why Woody looks blurry). If you want to watch how they "dance", click here.
