OOTD - May 2024

It's the last month and things are starting to get warmer and more humid! Although we didn't travel as much in May compared to the last few months, we still had a lot to do with the upcoming move. I went into work a bit less than usual due to taking leave, taking care of the pack out logistics, and living out of a suitcase for the last bit, so that also corresponded to less outfits captured! Unfortunate for the last month when the weather was better, but the reflects the reality of this month for me.

Outfit 11 (for shopping in Tokyo) - EATME 2WAY side lace up top, EATME front button skort, EATME ribbon sandals and Michael Kors star-embellished hamilton bag

Yup it seems like I wore that red cardigan two days in a row but because I have had an irregular schedule for going into work but it was actually like 3 or 4 days in between haha. 
Honestly, I feel like I got a bit lazy with the styling this month. It should have been an opportunity to fully embrace that pre-summer weather where I still could comfortably wear a cardigan or a cropped jacket, but I don't feel like I took advantage of that. There were many days where I just wanted to blend in a bit more and feel "practical" for some reason lol.  

I likely won't have much to share for June in terms of outfits as we will be in transition lodging and living out of suitcases and this series will definitely look different once we settle in! If you've been following along for a bit, I hope you enjoyed this OOTD series while I was living in Japan and got to experience all 4 seasons over about 2 years. Let me know what you think about doing a recap of my favorite outfits during this time 😄. The outfits are certainly going to be less varied in Hawaii's perpetually summer weather!
