Good Hair Day


I don't know why some days the fight with my natural curl seems to go better than others.  If only my hair would look like this everyday.

Jacket: Vintage Haori from Shitennoju Temple in Osaka, Japan
Skirt:  It is a mystery where this was from.  I have had it so long I guess I should describe it as vintage.
