Wanna be original?

The other day I was hanging out with a friend of mine, and she showed me a photo book called Fruits, which is a collection of different outfits/people from Japan! I love this book because the styles are incredible, and you can flip through it for hours. My friend says that in Japan the kids like to dress up on days where they have no school, probably during the summer, I don't know, but they all hang out and wear crazy outfits, and no one minds. It's really cool to see the different tastes, and I would love to be able to express myself like that. I find where I live people are very open to different styles, but nothing like this. I suggest for those who like photography, Japan and especially cool styles/fashions, that you take a look at this book. I had a lot of fun flipping through it, and I plan to buy it soon.

Also, if you like to draw, I would suggest this book. On days where I have absolutely no inspiration, I can just pick out a picture and go crazy.

My friend also said that a lot of these kids get their stuff at Thrift shops or make clothes themselves. I am really interested in the whole "make your own" style, and so I plan, eventually, to make a cool costume like one in the book that I can wear on days I feel especially risky.
