I spent the better part of my 20’s living in Tokyo:
working at a pretty awesome job:

I love all three of your Asian-inspired looks, but I think the last blouse might be favorite (although the dress looks stunning on you)!! Awesome thrifty fashion as always! 🙂
Danke Kristi! Not only thrifty fashion but also completely ethical…just say no to fast fashion! 😉
I had a dress like that pink one and I LOVED it. Love seeing your photos from Tokyo too!
Thanks Nout…after a bit of work that dress now fits like a dream! 😉
I love hearing about all your adventures from earlier in your life! How fun to travel around Asia and model! All your looks are great – my fave is the first one!
Thanks Erika…my life has definitely been (& continues to be) an adventure!
I spent a year in Japan in 1975 just a fraction before your time, infact you were not born when I was there, right? My experience developed my taste for asymmetry and Japanese cuisine. What were you doing over there Sheri? Love you on the cover of Tokyo. Your Chinese frock is slinky and pinky – love it for that price!
I popped into the world in ’73 so you definitely beat me to Japan 😀 I spent the bulk of my 20’s modelling throughout Asia (based out of Tokyo) – a crazy life experience that taught me loads & absolutely helped to shape who I am today. *I was a young lass of 25 on that cover 😉
