Remember the MUJI lucky bags we recommended a few days ago? These are from our favorite minimalist home goods store, MUJI. After this amazing discovery, our Japanese reporter also successfully purchased MUJI women’s clothing lucky bags and MUJI health and beauty lucky bags.
While she was pleased with most of the surprises, one dress stumped her. Can anyone give her some tips on how to wear it better? Don’t miss her mini fashion show after the jump!
Our Japanese correspondent Debuneko bought a bag of MUJI women’s clothing for 3,000 yen (about $24.91 USD) and a bag of MUJI health and beauty products for 1,000 yen (about $8.32 USD). Considering that the total cost of the clothing is 13,880 yen (about $115.51 USD) and the makeup usually costs 5,770 yen (about $48.02 USD), this is not a bad price at all!
Although she was able to catch a glimpse of the clothes inside the bag, the full contents of the woman’s lucky clothes bag were only revealed after Izumono took out all of the items. According to her, she received the following six items, including four “regular” items and two “mysterious” items:
The warm crew-neck shirt is made of organic cotton and is soft to the touch, as are the long wool pants. The leggings and briefs are also exceptionally thin and lightweight, making them comfortable to wear. However, when Izumono saw the remaining two items, her excitement quickly turned to confusion.
“How should I wear this?” She asked thoughtfully. Of the two items, the first was a henley collar T-shirt, which looked quite ordinary at first glance. But when Chu Wenmao put it on, he felt that something was wrong, especially when all the buttons were fastened.
But the second item is even more mysterious – what exactly is this wide, round piece of fabric? How to wear it? Chuwenmao was naturally confused and immediately opened the label to look for illustrated outfit recommendations.
She then decided to put each tip into practice, but found it was much more difficult than she initially imagined. As a first idea, she folded the fabric into layers to create a neck warmer:
She then tried the ‘cape style’ by wrapping the fabric around her neck and letting it fall down the front:
She then unfolded the fabric into a single layer, put her hands through it and pulled it down, creating a shrug effect:
Finally, she wrapped the sarong around her waist, pulling the excess fabric up like a kimono and tying it with strings to create a makeshift sarong. “I feel like a waitress at a cafe in an apron,” she said with a laugh.
Despite the illustration’s advice, Chubunomao still felt he was missing the point and ultimately decided to leave the strange outfit to fashion experts.
Now let’s take a quick look at her second fukubukuro, which turned out to be even more definite and practical than the first.
This time, Izuru easily recognized the contents of the bag and was pleased that it was full of things that she would need in her daily life. If I had one complaint, it would be that there were too many candles. However, she especially likes the scent of the organic 2-in-1 moisturizing gel and lavender cream. MUJI, this is amazing!
That night, Izumaki decided to use a bottle of aromatherapy shower gel and put on her new wool pants before bed. Sweet dreams – maybe when you fall asleep, you’ll think of a better use for these pants!
