Mix + match: eruca

eruca is a free fashion magazine that functions as a shopping guide to trendy boutiques, big or small around Tokyo.

I kept a copy from last spring. I love both the pictures and the layout.

I took a good look around the website and very naturally started mental mixing + matching the clothes and accessories. Eventually I shortlisted them to these 4 outfits, with the OL or Office Lady (that’s a Japanese item for office workers) in mind, particularly those without a strict dress code.

1 blouse, 1 jacket and 2 skirts are interchanged with the help of accessories + shoes to express 4 different looks.
