Winter Make Over

[forever_wandering]

I've been heavily conditioning my hair these days. I wake up, add conditioner, put on a heat cap, then toss on a wig so that I can leave the conditioner in as long as possible. Pretty soon, I'll have to chemically straighten my hair again, so I'm trying to strengthen my hair as much as possible until then. Surprisingly, a lot of people don't even realize I'm wearing a wig. I've also had people ask me what brand of fake eye-lashes I use, but in reality, I don't use fake lashes at all. Mine are just naturally long and thick.

Less than a month until I meet up with my sempai and old classmates in Yokohama, so I'm really thinking about what kind of image I want to meet them in. I was known for being the always-on-the-move-party girl who mostly associated with those of the B系 fashion style. I still want to maintain that image but I want to do it in a way that still shoes I've matured. Basically, I'm swapping in the American "thug-style" I used to wear back then for a more...taylored B系 image. And so far, my absolute musts are: 

What kind of style do you follow? Have you changed your style recently?

It seems like lately all I think about is fashion. That's because for the first time in a long time, even though I don't feel 100% pleased with the way I look now, I don't feel like I'm hideous. I'm finally starting to understand what does and doesn't suit me, and what kind of person I want to become. They say looks aren't everything, but I think we can all agree that looks play an important part in how we're treated and what doors open for us.

Which leads to my next announcement: 

I received two meishi over the past couple of days. One from a man who works for a project managment company in Tokyo, and the other from a man who works for a publishing company in Yokohama. Both told me to contact them if I ever considered making the move from Kansai to Kantou.  I'll try to visit both companies next month.

The two of them are wigs? I think the one without the watermark looks a little more natural on you but you look great in both :D. I can't really tell what my style is tbh, but I do agree that fashion is definitely a way to express ourselves. I try to buy w/e I think looks better on me :D
Best of luck visiting those companies!

Yep! Both are wigs! The one without the watermark looks more natural because it's my exact hair color =)

I'm horrible when it comes to deciding what to wear and how to wear them. If it weren't for magazines, I'd be running around in a potato sack, I'm sure. So it helps to know what styles I want so that I can buy the appropriate magazines. Magazines in the US feature a variety of styles, but it feels like each Japanese magazine is for a specific style.
