Japanese Tomatoes + Abstinence

My computer's memory banks are over flowing with pictures of inspirational Japanese street fashion and runway stylings. I decided to come out of hiding and do a quick GTL. 

(Japanesestreets//Japanesestreets)

The little lady on the left feels like A Clockwork Orange meets Lisa Turtle with a twist of demure. 

The look on the right blew my mind when I saw it, please let's just focus south of her ankles for a sec. DELICIOUS MIXING! Not quite sure what that shag rug-esque bib/apron is, but I do like it. To top it off she has a hair 'do reminiscent of Dr. Seuss. Five stars. These two 'fits drastically differ, yes, but I decided to pair them together because of the use of not-yet-ripe tomato red. Now let's get the look.

Style Crush #5: Letty

Okay, this is VERY very (very) embarrassing, but I recently rewatched Fast and the Furious (yes, the one with Vin Diesel). Everything about this movie is pure cheese. Not the good tasting cheese either. Processed cheese more like. But anyway I was admiring Michelle Rodriguez's character's look, not the particular outfits (as the outfits themselves are too bad-90's) but the concept. I wanted to make a GTL but with a modern twist-- please don't judge me too harshly. I know this movie sUx0Rz!1
