OOTD - April 2022

It's the return of the monthly OOTD blog posts! I really loved doing this series back when my goal was to wear each work-appropriate piece in my wardrobe once (otherwise donate/sell/toss) because I thought there was good variety + having the consistency of taking the picture every morning at my desk. Going forward in 2022, I want to try to have similar consistency while I'm in Japan since I'm going into the office regularly, but also feel the need to dress a certain way whenever we go out in general. I had also just been excited to dress for colder weather (something I didn't often get a chance to do in Hawaii), so here are the results for my first month living in Japan !

I'm still getting used to dressing for the office when the inside temperature can be a little variable, but overall, I've been having fun wearing my outer pieces. I don't have a ton of variety for coats or warmer jackets, but I do like how versatile my current pieces are! It's definitely warming up, so I think I will be shifting to a lot more cardigans in May (and is closer to how I would dress in HI, especially for work). I was happy to have so many outfits to feature for this month and I hope I can keep it up!
Let me know if you have any favorites :)
