Let's start the interview. It's super cold today....
Why are your legs out girl?
It's cold - Super cold
You are wearing a skirt too? - And I am cold too
We are all shivering here - We are
Why did you chose a skirt today?
I wanted to wear a fuzzy coat like this and balance it out
If you want to wear trendy fake fur boots, you gotta show your legs
You are wearing a skirt because of your coat and boots? - True
I usually only wear trousers.
Can I see the inner trousers - Normal
- Cute - They look like... bloomers? - They are
Aren't those bloomers really thin? - They are!
You look so cold. - I wear some black pants on top
And then hide the rest with my coat
Yesterday I watched a Netflix show, is that ok to say?
I watched Wednesday
Her mother was wearing a cute long skirt and I wanted to wear a long skirt too
Wearing skirts in winter, what are your tricks and tips?
What how to show leg in winter?
For me it would be fur in winter
And I wear stockings - You are wearing stockings?
I will die if I don't wear stockings in winter, and the dryness colors my skin white
Socks are important but in winter fur is important too.
She has lots of fluffy parts in her cordinate, here and there
I cover my feeling of cold by visually looking good
Thinking of the overall outfit balance you endure the cold - I try to keep it looking good
What the heck am I doing right?
I definitely wear tights underneath
My legs are currently frozen, how do you keep yours warm?
Layering socks is important
Today I layered winter stockings and winter socks
I also pulled down leg warmers and hid them from view
You are wearing 3 layers underneath the boots
That is how I somehow survive - And you?
There are heating pouches specifically for your toes. Those I am wearing especially if I am wearing boots for the air.
For the air?
When wearing boots, your toes get a lot colder
So I use those heating pouches that are specifically for toes
Toes are more likely to feel the cold, so that is why I use those heating pads.
How often do you wear skirts in winter?
Once every two weeks. Especially when hanging with friends
But when I show leg, it's generally just around me knee like this
I think I can do that
I am pretty similar, but I wear longer skirts
So the cold does not directly get to my skin. Longer skirts are better for that.
In summer, does it change how often you wear skirts?
I hide my legs more in summer.
I generally feel very hot, so on my top I show my arms. To balance...
I rather wear a long skirt than short pants
I don't show my legs in summer, because I am already showing my arms
True, I do the same in summer.
In summer I want to wear more clear defined clothes
The top is more simple the bottoms are more styled.
But it's so cold NOW
We should be wearing trousers now right?
We should
But if you wear a bit coat, and big trousers, all of you just looks big....
You end up looking as round as Baymax so....
That is why I show some skinny skin.
Round like baymax? Is that about me?
Wait I am white and round. I am Baymax today!!!
You cover with smaller bottoms
Your skirt has volume so it's fine.
Your legs make the outfit look less round
It's ok like that - The volume of my lolita skirt saved me
You are not a baymax now!
Not baymax.
So what is your solution to being able to wear skirts?
Fighting spirit!
Japanese girls are so strong! Why are you wearing a skirt?
I am coming from Hyogo prefecture. I wanted to look cute
You wanted to dress nice for Tokyo? - Yes
I don't really like showing my legs, but I wanted to look good in Tokyo too.
Nice.
Is Hyogo Prefecture quite cold?
We are living in the countryside
Where we are it's cold.
Do you usually wear skirts? - I do not
I am 16 now but when I was 3 years old was the last time I wore a skirt.
I don't remember that though, so it feels like a new experience
You don't wear skirts as your school uniform?
Our school uniform is a skirt. - Oh it is.
What? School uniform skirts do not count as skirts for you?
You are so used to uniform skirts, that they don't count?
We don't like short skirts
Our school uniform skirts go to our knee.
That we are used to wearing
