On the Job

In today's outfit choice, I'm going for a the Mika Nakashima dress and footless tights look.  Funny, I wrote her down as a style icon in my job application.  Unlike Mika, I will not be wearing heels for my eight hour work day.  Black cowboy boots should do the job.

I learned about Mika Nakashima when the infamous Lulu briefly wrote about her. She is a Japanese singer and actress. Mika played a true punk rock chick in the film adaption of Nana (a manga I am currently reading and loving.) That's all I know about her work. I've been distracted from my usual posting research by her style. I'm impressed with the way she can wear a dress and jeans without looking like a shopping cart lady or fashionista gone wrong. I'm interested in giving it a try myself. Keeping her looks in mind will be quite helpful. The blue-green lacey dress over the ripped jeans has me especially smitten. Vintage shopping here I come...
