Donki’s Tokyo Cover Girl (61) 
I had heard Donki (ドン･キホーテ - Don Quijote) was putting out a line of extremely cheap clothing (fast fashion) but I didn’t realize they were selling full sets of outfits using a Tokyo Cover Girl theme! SO CUUUUTE! I love this idea!! Donki was one of the few places on my much too short trip last year that I visited multiple times. I think I visited 3 times?! The store basically has any sorta random ~ bizarre item you want. Kigurumi, hostess garb, circle lenses, fireworks, Japanese tees, sweat baths, cellulite rollers, so on & so on randomness.
OK, enough reminiscing and pining… the clothes!! 
Admittedly they’re quite basic, but for around $40 USD you can’t expect something extravagant for a 3-piece set! 
Most of the looks don’t really match my current tastes but the above three were my favorites! 
I’d love a cheap set that includes the mock-shirt skirt!! I keep wanting to buy one but I’m still so paranoid about sizing and fit that I’ve held off. You can view them all here. 
I also think I heard they were/have come out with a line of $7 jeans?! LOL! Fast-food-like fashion indeed 
*added*
*Thought I’d add this little video of the SG models doing the cover shoots for the brand line 
Thank god for teh youtube! haaaar!*
The boring stuff~ LOL
I didn’t think I’d get to blog today, though now it’s so late I don’t really have the time to post what I wanted to right now. Yesterday I wrote up this long private entry about how hard things have been for me this week. It was incredibly whiny and self-indulgent. Then last night something happened and I realized how selfish I have been. Selfish in that the only happiness that mattered was my own. So, I think I can make it to the weekend, and look on the brighter side of things and try to help others in their happiness first. 
Plus today my heater got fixed! yay~ no more loud noise! They still have to come back and replace the motor though. But it’ll keep the house heated until then so it’s OK.
Also, if you haven’t noticed, my New Year’s Resolution is going great! I haven’t bought any clothes and it’s been 4 weekends now! 
The weekends are when we go to the stores, but I’ve only been window shopping! And even with my online purchases (overalls, contacts, the stuff I really want) I’m spending less than when I’d just buy some random thing that “reminded” me of some Japanese brand item! It’s true, and I have my higher-than-ever bank account to prove it! Ha! 
Now I’m just holding off for spring items~ figure out what I want and then place an order~ Might be a while before I find my “must have” items 
Speaking of sales I saw Zara was having one last weekend so I cruised in… ya know, just TO SEE! I hate their sales! 
Seriously! Like 1/2 the merchandise on sale is damaged! WTF. 
Rips and stains and still $19!? no thanks Zara.
Oh yea, and I decided to slap my photo up in my sidebar! I used to have 1 there years ago, but then felt shame at showing how old I was! Hahahaha! Now there are soooo many bloggers in their 20’s, it’s no longer a shameful thing! Remember when we’d ask ourselves “What will I do when I turn 25?! I can’t continue to do such a childish thing like blog!” Plus ameblo & blogger all seem to have it, I feel I’m being all weird-secretive not having mine, I dunno~ Maybe I’ll take it down… errrrrrr. LOL Maybe this will better clear up any misunderstandings that I’m a Japanese person 
… Even though I have photos in my profile, I’ve still gotten random comments “Oh I thought you were Japanese.” gaaaaah 
I never know how to respond to that b/c I don’t lead on that I would be~ 
OK, it’s late and I’m RAMBLING!

Damn you addiction! (50)
So I went to Forever21 looking for this hairbow 
Of coooooooourse they didn’t freakin’ have it. But did I just turn around and leave??? NO OF COURSE NOOOOT! I got caught up in shopping and bought all this crap
:driftingoff:
Though I have to admit I got actual outfits for once! Tops AND bottoms. Great basics and such.
Plus I couldn’t help but get this fantastic dress! 
It’s so pretty and makes my boobs look small (which I need b/c I’m crazy top heavy OK )
I can’t wait till spring 100% arrives. Or better yet summer. Of course when I’m melting I’ll be all “omfg when does christmas arrive I need snow damnit!” hahahaa
Also I finally got more of my favorite hairspray from Sephora.
I can fall asleep in this stuff and wake up still will styled curls! It stands up really well to crappy nonstop winds too (had to find that out the annoying way last week, hahaa.)
That all said… I want to stop buying clothes :whaaaaaat:
It’s easy to say that and then I turn around and buy shit! I just want to save & save again like last year so I can go back to Japan ASAP 
. But I have money I can spend so there’s not this ACTUAL REASON for me NOT to spend. I know that sounds whiny and very “oh boo-hoo pity-party” but I’ve said many times already that I’m not going to buy any more clothes and then I turn around and find something I just HAVE to have. I’ve been having to buy new 20 packs of hangers on a monthly basis… I think I’m GOOD on clothes.
SO. Tonight I bought things I felt I needed. Another pair of jean shorts, sheer basic white tee, basic colored fitted tanks~ I’m gonna work hard to get back to the habit of only buying a few things here and there and not going on these FULL ON SHOPPING ADVENTURES. Mike of course is of no help. He thinks as long as I’m not out buying Marc Jacobs or Prada weekly then we’re good. But I want to change b/c it’ll make me happy. Plus I haven’t enough hours in the day to wear the stuff I’ve bought in the past year! Hahahaha
Ok I’ll stop here. I feel I’m coming off a bit doucey, HAHAHA I probably just feel this way because I did big spending on my birthday, followed by my friend’s visit, followed by this week. So I just feel I’m going overboard but I’m probably not~
