After my first day of shopping for young casual clothes in Shibuya, my sister and I continue our shopping spree in Shinjuku, which is where the Japanese shop for reasonably priced lady-like and still fashionable clothes.
Oh, a little tip if you're going to Japan, all their clothes are 'one size fits all'. So you have to be relatively petite or skinny if you shop for clothes there. Also, their shoe sizes go from S to L, (occasionally some stores carry XL). L is an equivilant to approx. a US size 7 -a 24cm long feet. So if you have big feet like my sister does, then Japanese shoes are not destined for you.
And you might ask, why didn't I go to Harajuku, which according to Gwen Stefani is where all the cool girls and shops are. Let's just say I've been to Harajuku in my last few Tokyo trips and it reminded me of a cheap-looking market rather than a place with fashionable clothes. And shopping outdoors in summer? Forget about it. I'll stick to the air-conditioned, young trendy spots of Shinjuku and Shibuya.
