Let the Update Begin! Part 3

Awhile back, I wrote about my shock at the different standard of dress just to go shopping in Japan! Here are pictures to prove the contrast...

Omotesando Hills is a shopping center filled with all the names you'd see on 5th Avenue in New York. And I was wearing THAT!



Just to prove my point... I am standing between Chanel and Bvlgari... in jeans and a fleece pullover. If I knew what kind of "department store" I would be visiting that evening, I would've worn something else, of course!



Inside... there were Christmas decorations up... only... unlike any Christmas decorations I had seen. Swarovski crystal chandeliers and Christmas trees adorned the plaza.





So the next day, I tried a different outfit when we went to Roppongi Hills for lunch. I felt a little more at ease but I refused to wear dress shoes when I knew I would be walking all day. My face looks deranged in the first picture... I think I was holding back a sneeze...
