too cool to cry


Happy belated New Year, everyone!

I got this whole outfit (from head to toe) for $60 in Tokyo!
scarf: $5, shirt: $10, dress: $10, tights: $5, boots: $30
Oh how I LOVE my Harajuku finds!



15 minutes after I took this picture, I was riding my bicycle over to my friend's apt and got into a semi-bad accident. I'm okay, but my tights, shoes, and gloves (not pictured here) had to suffer.
Of course I was too cool to cry so right after I fell off my bike - I picked it up, jumped right back on, and rode 3 blocks to the pharmacy to clean it up.

    See, that's exactly way I don't ride bikes.....well, that and the fact that I don't know how to ride one, but that's completely besides that point.

    And happy belated new year too.
