Notes: I have a lot of items cached in polyvore storage; items that don’t fit with the set I am working on, but that I am instantly inspired by and drawn to. The geta (the Japanese sandal) is such an item and when I decided I’d take an internet break while on vacation here in Seattle I instantly thought of my favorite Japanese sweet snack, mochi. Mochi symbolizes an entire era of my life, from the ages of 13 – when I first ventured to Little Tokyo with my brother and tasted mochi for the first time – until about 21, when I ceased attending anime conventions. It’s actually quite befitting that I chose this dessert, the tasty representation of my “anime days” on the eve when I am about to attend a Geek Girl Convention.
As for the clothes themselves, I could not decide between the orange and the subtle lavender blue. The orange just POPS and reminds me of anime itself, while the soft blue is a quieter, more conservative look – though I did chose black sequined capri pants to go with it, mostly because they reminded me of black sesame covered mochi. The purse and shoes are interchangeable and the jewelry is meant to represent adzuki, the bean paste filling.
