After Lasik surgery, I was not in the state of modeling clothes for my shop – my eyes were watery and no make up was allowed. So I begged my sister to model for me. I wish she was as corporative as she was yesterday all the time! Most of the time, she refuses to model my clothes. I much prefer taking pictures of the clothes on someone else than myself!
When I first showed her the fabric I bought, her reaction was, “ya…Yakuza’s wife? You want to pretend to be a Yakuza’s wife?”. I guess Japanese people think tiger = Yakuza-ish. I wouldn’t have gone for this fabric if it were not for this color scheme – black and white. If there were any other colors in it, I think it would be too much. But since it’s monotone, it balances out with the unique print of tiger and cherry blossom…I think.
This season, I have a tendency to pick out quirky print with different animals on it, like crab print, because I’m so influenced by Miu Miu collection.

Very cute! I love the print, and the back cut-out is very sexy. 🙂 Makes me wish I were the size I was pre-kiddo, because then I would already own this dress! 🙂
