It is a very straightforward style that Chihiro managed to put together, don’t you think? The mustard color of Chihiro’s tights look great with her black and white of the dress.

@2046: After your positive response to the drink last time, I asked Chihiro to not put away her soy drink.

I actually used to shoot people with accessories like drinks, phones, bicycles all the time, and like it. Have to get back into the mode!

Again, I lack a photo of an important detail! If I remember correctly, the ruffled bit was like a slip or bloomers.

@Etsune: I have always had the impression that in general, Japanese are much freer with colors than most Westerners. Probably because of their experience with kimono where it is very common to use very different colors in the obi sash and the actual kimono. I really love the Japanese use of color. Did you see our series on traditional Japanese colors?

@gionbaby: I felt so, too. With the three brown items perfectly distributed at about the same distance from each other I felt my eyes actually jump down from her hair to her belt to her bag, before taking in the dress and the tights. Because it makes your eyes dance, Chihiro’s look becomes really fun to look at.
