I had three hour sleep this morning and had to come back to work. Before I did, I had extra time so I thought I'd change my wardrobe to autumn as the season is turning into it. No more hot summer. I am kinda relieved but can't wear a sleeveless shirt any more except at the gym but that's quite alright. Autumn is the perfect season to cuddle someone but as you already know, I don't have someone to cuddle with (wow, that sounds so relationship oriented.). That's quite alright. Autumn is also the season for the clothes... something darker like this jacket. This jacket was presented by my ex a year ago. Believe it or not, he made this from scratch. This is one of my favorite autumn jackets still. Well, it might be too warm to wear this yet but the perfect weather will come soon. Some people try to do the major cleaning immediately after the break-ups to get rid of stuff that reminds them of the relationship they had. Some (I said "some") queers probably do so by singing
" I will survive by Gloria Gaynor" dramatically as if they are the most important people to get others' attention for the sympathy at the very moment. But I didn't get rid of this jacket. I didn't sing the cliche song right after the break up, either. Wow, I must have grown up.... To be honest, I like this pretty jacket very much. Ergo, this is still my favorite autumn one. It reminds me of things but that's alright. It keeps me warm, stylish (in my own imaginary way), and comfy anyway. I can't wait the full deep nice autumn coming! It'd be perfect to have someone to cuddle with in the park, but I am okay being alone this time. Happy Autumn, people! ughh.. going back to work.
very funky jacket! the color on my computer is a little screwy, but it looks dark brown? [which, I just read somewhere is the "new black"]. ha ha.
gratuitous Legally Blonde quote: "Whoever said orange is the new pink was seriously disturbed."
I bought a chocolatey brown suede jacket for Fall. I'm v. excited about wearing it when it gets cooler :-)
Wow. Your ex must have been quite talented. It's not easy to make clothing from scratch.
I must say I was guilty of angrily clearing out stuff after one of my breakups (and I did not SING "I Will Survive". I hummed). But some things are too useful to throw, I guess.
I vote for a pic Shigeki wearing sleeveless! One last time before autumn finally goes!
Wow. your ex could really sew!
Nice, spanking jacket! Shout out to your ex! I love the colors and was actually planning to redesign my blog using these colors. Well, I'm really no html wizard but will try to come out with a chocolate-pink blog reincarnation. :)
Back on the topic, it's sad that the Philippines does not have four seasons so we keep our wardrobe to the minimum. Read: wet, cold season & dry, humid weather. It would have been more fab to change wardrobes and be really in sync with the world fashion's Spring/Summer and Fall/Winter collections. Sob.
Again, nice spanking jacket! Cheers!
It looks charcoal to me with... is that leather trim? Wow that is a nice jacket. I bet you look darling in it!
I'd have to see the jacket on you before I could pass judgement. I am trying to imagine you wearing that thing. Hard to do given I have to interprolate around the eye and the jacket. My girlfriend wants to knit me a sweater. I am thinking that I want something a bit more traditional, like a cable knit pullover. Homemade clothes are really awesome.
well, shigeki, you broke up with your ex, not with the jacket. (^__^)
right now, it's very warm here. very unusual, since we should be getting maximum temperatures below 20ºC at this time of year. however, today, the temperature was forecast to go up as high as 26ºC. and, it's sunny.
jason was really lucky when he decided to come up here to montréal this week. during his whole stay here, it ws really gorgeous weather. today was his last day here. tomorrow, it's supposed to rain. jason says that he brought the great weather and he's now taking it away with him.
the trim on the jacket is just amazing! I bet it looks even better on you (hinting towards wills vote.
I loved japan in autumn... Whiles on meds, I'm gonna try and halucinate i'm back in my fav park, sittin on my bench, reading, feedin the ducks & watching as Shigeki strolls by in his super duper jacket!
Hi EnviroBoi,
it's a great jacket, really. I like it very much. :-) It is dark brown. You know I read it somewhere about the new black... Where did I read it??? hmmm.. Chocolate looking brown is really super this year. Enjoy your new coat! You have a great day!
Hi Will,
Oh yes, he is very good at little things among other annoying things. :-) He wanted to be a designer so he is pretty good at it. I will survive is such a great song and I sing it out of nowhere when I am alone. I know it's a gay cliche thing but... :-) You have a great evening!
Hi Mush,
oh yeah, he is really amazing. :-) I am somewhere Small and Medium in U.S. size but this jacket is perfect fitting. :-) Good day!
Hi Mark,
Oh, that's kewl that you get to change your colors on your blog. I will be looking forward to it! Well, I am a computer geek with some knowledge about HTML if you need help, let me know. :-) Even if you don't have four seasons there, you can still appreciate muscled guys with a sleeveless shirt longer than I can here in Tokyo. :-) ou have a wonderful day!
Hi Kevin,
Really? It does? Maybe the lighting wasn't great. Too bright.. but it's definitely dark brown for sure. :-) It really is a nice jacket and I am so loving it. :-) It's too warm to wear it this week but it will be cooler next week. I am so ready for it! Thanks for stopping by and you have a fantabulous day!
Hi Gregg,
hehehe. I am pretty sure I look good in it. So no need to imagine how I would look in it. If I don't look good in it, I still want to wear it. That's very sweet of your girlfriend! Nice sweaters are really comfy and warm. I am pretty sure you will enjoy it in the deadly cold winter there! You have a fantastic day!
Hi Raph,
That's so strange that it's warmer than usual there. It's getting back to normal here in Tokyo even though the summer was very crazy.... I don't know why it was that hot this year. maybe, too much exhaust from a lot of things? Thanks for the detailed update about Jason's vacation. I hope he went back safely. You have a good day!
Hi AJ,
Isn't it cute??? I've never sat on a bench and read things in the park... hehehe. I don't think I am an outdoorsy when it's autumn. I like sipping coffee at cafe and seeing people walk by better though. Don't get too drugged! ;-) You have a marvelous day!
