Shopping with the girls
Posted: Fri Aug 25, 2017 10:20 pm
All girls like shopping. I think that's a scientific fact. Even Hanako seemed eager to do some shopping. With shopping comes buying clothes.
So, what kinds of things do they look for? Where do they go?
Here's me putting entirely too much thought put into the subject.
Lilly: Lilly is entirely at the mercy of her Akira for the majority (if not all) of her shopping trips. Lacking the ability to see, patterns, and colors don't matter much to her so she asks for advice on what would make her look good. The lighter more subdued earthtones I'd say where Akira's idea. if shopping with Hanako though, Hanako would push her to more vibrant colors and flashier outfits. I like to think she had something to do with the infamous red dress. Other than that, long shirts are preferred for modesty reasons. The feel of the fabric and the fit is more important than the design to her. She's also one of those types of people that has to try on every single thing. Money is no object. She buys what she wants.
Hanako: Honestly, you've probably seen the majority of Hanako's clothes in the game. I doubt she owns much more than that. Likewise Hanako doesn't seem to have much money. I don't know if she gets living expenses paid out of an inheritance or government disability or what, but she doesn't have a lot of cash. (I did try looking up how disability pay works in Japan. It was a bit over my head.) If given the choice, she'd go to cheaper places, second hand stores, and that sort of thing. She still likes to look cute, but doesn't like to be noticed, so goes with a very plain easy to pass by style with only a slight flair to it. If shopping together, Lilly will usually buy her something, but Hanako sometimes views this as being looked down on.
Emi: Probably the trendiest of the cast. She isn't huge into fashion but tries to keep up at least a little. She has a rather larger collection of stockings in many different styles and colors, although she's likely to just roll them down a little and leave them on her legs when she takes them off. She avoids pants.
Rin: Yes. Even Rin likes shopping. She's not into fashion at all though (something Emi scolds her for sometimes). Nor does she favor a certain style or color pattern. When shopping, she looks around and tries to attach a mood or feeling to clothes and maker her choices based on that. She avoids shoes, tights pants, skirts, dresses, and tends to prefer long sleeves. Slightly baggy clothes work better for her.
Misha: Much like Hanako, she doesn't have a lot of money and goes with the less expensive options. Unlike Hanako, she likes to be noticed and buys odd looking clothes (like stuff with those weird foreign words written on them) and extravagant colors. Although Shizune does influence her tastes slightly. She also enjoys loud socks. Again, like Hanako, her more financially well to do friend is more than happy to buy her a few things. She also likes trying on expensive clothes, although she doesn't ever expect to wear own them.
Shizune: She favors more expensive clothing stores, but still gravitates towards their sales and markdowns. She prefers simple but striking designs. Things that look bold and classy without being overly flamboyant. She also tends shows off a little bit and prefers her shirts tight and her skirts short.
