Shinsaibashi, Osaka Jfashion mini haul and try on

Instead of making huge collective hauls like my Spring fashion haul from a couple of weeks ago, I'm gonna try and do more regular mini hauls. So here's a couple of pieces I picked up from Zara and H&M when I went to Shinsaibashi, along with another piece that I've been wanting since about September: a souvenir jacket!!!

First up is this shirt dress from Zara: 4590 Yen. This was the first time I've ever been in Zara, and I was pleasantly surprised! It's a little pricier than I usually go for, but there are some nice pieces in there. Plus, shopping in Zara makes me feel like a successful 20 something...

Next up is this H&M shirt for 2499 yen. It's the perfect summer shirt, the fabric is light and floaty and I've been after a grid print shirt forever.

Sukajan 8800 yen.
I loove the bomber jacket trend, but they're often a little short for my liking- I like my jackets long as I think it's more flattering than something that stops at the widest part of my hips.
Ok so this jacket in particular is absolutely everything. I've wanted one for months. For any of you interested in Jfashion, souvenir jackets in particular have been a huge trend recently here in Japan, and I think they even started selling some in Topshop back home! But this one feels more authentic somehow... I bought it at a shop off Ebisubashisuji from a really scary looking old man (who was super nice though... life lesson in there somewhere). It's cheaper than Zara, but not as cheap as SPINNS, but the advantage it had over both of them was that it came in XXL size (I wanted a long, baggy fit) and I could choose the design too! I went for the Koi one. It also has so much embroidery on it- even on the sleeves!
In love basically.

My mum also sent me these amazing leopard print tights!
Modelled here with a cat, bc appropriate. They were really expensive at £12, I can't believe how generous she is!
