「バランスを取る」ことが大事

It's important to "keep a balance"

For some reason, I feel like our store has become a "Vintage Cartier" store (lol)
Maybe it's not just my imagination, but an unmistakable "fact."
When I thought about this, I realized something recently.

"As you get older, new clothes don't suit you"

What can I say?
Rather than something beautiful, something shiny and new doesn't suit her.

For example, brand new white sneakers.
I feel strangely relaxed when I wear something brand new, regardless of the price.
Whether it's how you feel,
Maybe that's just my imagination.
But somehow it doesn't suit me.
So for my sneakers these days, I choose black, gray, and dark brown.

And ``vintage denim'' that I've been promoting recently.
After thinking about why this is happening,
Rigid (unwashed) doesn't suit me.
Denim can enjoy discoloration depending on the item,
My brand new blue jeans stand out just as strangely as my white sneakers.
In any case, the faded ice blue color, which is full of tattered repairs, suits me better.
So lately I've been wearing vintage denim a lot.

However, when it comes to vintage denim, high-quality cashmere knits,
I try to match it with good quality leather shoes, etc.
Both the top and bottom are old clothes,
I try not to wear work boots or engineer boots with them.
That's what happens when you wear vintage denim with a military jacket.
Some kind of veteran or nostalgic,
You end up looking like someone who has no money and has only been wearing the same clothes for a long time.
I can't help but feel that if he had a good physique, he could be called Rambo,
How many women like Rambo?

I feel like it's spring, wearing white All Stars and Stan Smiths.
Although I would like to wear a St. James striped T-shirt with rigid denim,
It doesn't match the face at all.
If you make a mistake, your cosplay will look like a ``innocent'' cosplay.
But the "answer" was right there...

"face"

Yes, my face.
It goes without saying that as we age, we have more wrinkles, spots, and dullness than when we were in our teens or 20s.
So maybe something new doesn't suit you? I realized that.

Probably white sneakers and rigid denim,
It suits you because you have youthful and fresh skin.
However, as the skin ages and loses moisture,
I feel like something with a little bit of "damage" is more balanced.

For some reason, an elderly woman who goes to a department store...
I have an image of her wearing a lot of jewelry.
There are many people who dress in a style that can be described as the opposite of ``simple.''
It's not because these people have money, but
I'm guessing that he's pretending to know who he is, but what do you think?
There is nothing strange about an elderly woman wearing a lot of jewelry.
On the other hand, if you're in your 20s or so, shiny glitter just feels weird.

If you think about it that way, you won't be able to choose something based on ambiguous reasons such as ``because it's trendy'' or ``because it's popular.''
In the first place, "it suits me" is a completely different matter.
Even if you are in your 30s,
By the time you reach your 40s, you should be able to understand to some extent what suits you and what you need.
And even if you don't like it, you can understand the ``aging'' of your body that makes you want to cover your eyes.

As a result of noticing these,
The combination of vintage denim and high-quality cashmere knit is
I think this is the best way to ``find a balance.''
If that were the case, there would be no need for unnecessary functions or designs in watches.
It adds a touch of elegance to your outfit and never attracts attention.
Above all, I want it to be something that makes me the ``main character'' and makes me ``even better.''
Maybe what you're wearing stands out more than you? It's just that.

When you reconsider this, vintage Cartier has a very good balance.
It's never extravagant and doesn't seem strangely intrusive.
Well, I think a lot of old watches are like that, so Omega and Seiko aren't bad at all.
Each has its own merits, so
Of course, we do not deny current products.
Just thinking about "balancing"
You should be able to see what you should choose.

As I approach the age of 40, I can say:
You shouldn't compete in the same arena as people in their teens, 20s, and 30s.
I definitely can't win in terms of physical strength,
"Youth" itself is the greatest charm and weapon.
It reminds me of Quattro Bagina's famous quote,
We can never escape the ``old age'' that everyone faces.

That's why, instead of fighting against old age,
I think it's better to just accept it honestly and change yourself.
No matter how old you are, you'll turn 40, 50, or 60 someday.


"Balance"
It means not only weighing the items you choose, but also weighing yourself.
I think it's a ``style'' that allows you to arrive at a result after comparing and worrying.
My current results are as shown in this photo.
“Adding beauty to old and damaged items”
It seems like it's just the right glamor for my deteriorated self (lol)

The only thing I can say in the end is...
"Choose what you like"
This is the best!
