I like this look quite a bit, though it seems way too hot to wear outside. I don't think I have mentioned yet how damn hot Japan, and especially Tokyo, is. Well, it's freaking hot. I can't really compare to Houston since I am never really walking around in urban areas in the summer here, but it often felt very similar. Usually it was in the upper 90s, with very high humidity. Sweating begins first thing in the morning, but it would cool off a bit at night. Part of the heat was possibly due to the long days: I think the sun rose sometime between 4 and 5.
