I don’t really like Crocs or sandals, but on rainy days, I have no choice.

I wore the relatively small-hole Crocs from Adidas to work.

I really hate showing my toes. My toes, really. Maybe it’s because my feet are wide and ugly, but…

I definitely don’t get pedicures. I hate showing my toes. It’s embarrassing.

I tend to get cold easily, so I prefer summer, but even in summer, most people wear long sleeves, long pants, and long skirts.

It’s actually quite hot. ^^

It hasn’t been that long since I started wearing short sleeves.

As a clothing manufacturer, it’s a very difficult time. I have to be ahead of the seasons, but for me, the season for long sleeves and long pants is much longer than most people’s, so I sometimes miss sales timing. Early summer is the hardest. I’m fine with long sleeves, though. ^^

So, this time, I started making graphic T-shirts that would be sold only in short sleeves year-round. My primary goal is to sell internationally,

but my style should be long-sleeved, and short sleeves are my mainstay. I’m less likely to face the dilemma of early summer,

but I thought cotton short sleeves were the perfect choice for graphic T-shirts.

These days, I’m sweating it out in front of the computer, doing collages and drawing illustrations I’m not good at.

I’m not sure about the graphic quality, but the materials and sewing patterns are top-notch.

Oddly enough, I don’t wear new items very often. This is especially true during sales seasons. I have a jinx that if I wear something, it won’t sell. But this time, I’m going to boldly wear shorts and shorts, and I’m going to wear it day and night whenever a new item comes out.

I want to change. I’m 46, almost 47, and I’m embarrassed to wear sandals. I want to break free from the jinxes and prejudices that have kept me from overcoming them. If those jinxes were real, I’d be rich already. I’ve lived with those jinxes and my own prejudices for 46 years, and now I’m in this mess. I’m going to make an effort to change.

It’s time for a change in my career and my accomplishments. I want to use this as a stepping stone to leap even higher.

I will strive to live diligently every day, without losing focus or being swayed by what others say.
