What I Wore: Japanese T-Shirt

09/02/2010 in what i wore

Japanese Girlfriend

I bought this for a buck from The Salvation Army eons ago. I wear it often. I’ve worn it to the gym, around town, and even to Japantown. It’s bright, soft and worn and the Japanese optical chart won my heart at first glance.

I met up with my pal, Jack, over some coffee and donuts yesterday and he translated the shirt as Looking for a Japanese girlfriend. Holy moly! Oh well. I like the shirt far too much to stop wearing it.

LOL that is awesome. I always wonder how often things like this happen. In any case it is a great shirt :)

ohmygosh! my bestie’s new brother in law would DIE over that shirt. he’s obsessed with japanese culture and would get a kick out of it!

That is so funny, Katrina! Well, if some Japanese girl tries to get a little TOO friendly, you’ll know why!

By the way, my boyfriend and I are thinking of visiting San Fransisco for a weekend in October – would you want to meet up for lunch or something by any chance? :)

14 Micaela 09/02/2010 at 9:44 pm

Haha that’s so funny! Well at least not a lot of people probably can read it…

15 Michelle 09/03/2010 at 2:59 am

i just stumbled onto your blog and sure am glad that i did!

that shirt is great, i’d wear it even if it did say that, hah! it’s hilarious, anyway. and the colours are nice, i love white and yellow together.

by the way, you look a little like bjork in this photo, please take that as a compliment.

16 The Hausfrau 09/03/2010 at 4:59 am

Heh…that’s pretty funny! Oh, well–just think of it as the flip-side of all those bad Engrish shirts the Japanese don’t mind wearing!

17 Windsor Grace 09/03/2010 at 10:46 am

Don’t give it up, you look great in it! At least it’s not like, I totally suck, or something like that.

18 iam ruJen 09/03/2010 at 11:15 am

Ha ha ha! I don’t know if I could wear it anymore. Too funny.

19 Jes 09/03/2010 at 1:45 pm

That’s super funny! I would have bought that shirt even if I knew what it said.. hilarious and cute too boot!

20 ana 09/03/2010 at 2:06 pm

21 Elisa Nishimura 09/03/2010 at 2:37 pm

That’s so funny!

By they way, I can’t read Japanese, but the thing is mirrowed. Did you take a photo of your mirror image?

22 Blue Eyed Night Owl 09/04/2010 at 3:41 am

Haha, that’s hilarious. I’d totally still be wearing it too, in fact I need to get me one of those. Haha, I love it! It’s funny how things can seem so innocent, yet have such a different meaning.

Cool picture by the way.

23 Diana 09/05/2010 at 12:10 am

oh my goodness! that’s hilarious and adorable!

ps- prettiest hair ever? yes!

24 Ama ~ MissMinoes 09/05/2010 at 6:43 am

Ha ha, very funny! It could have said something worse.
I would still wear it too. it looks far too cute. =^x^=

25 Kolei 09/06/2010 at 7:18 am

i’m not Japanese, but i’ll be your girlfriend Katrina.

26 Diana 09/06/2010 at 5:18 pm

I think the fact that the t-shirt has a personal ad on it just makes it even more awesome. Thrift store tees are the best.

27 Piper 09/07/2010 at 9:14 am

ha ha!!! that’s so hilarious!! that’s why i love thrift store finds!!

28 giovanna 09/17/2010 at 8:14 am

Ha ha ha ha. Maybe I don’t wear anymore, but you are cool

29 Adeline 09/18/2010 at 12:33 pm
