WEEKENDS 02 Layered skirts create an everyday silhouette. Tech Shield Tapered Pants White S


How long have you been going to the cafe "GOOD PEOPLE & GOOD COFFEE" in Ikejiri-Ohashi?
Odawara: It has been since 2012, shortly after it opened. I have known the owner, Tomoshi Okamoto, for 18 years when he was into pisto bikes. My favorite drink is Cafe Latte Honey. Its sweet and gentle taste makes me feel at ease.
When do you usually visit?
Odawara: Since the birth of my child, I have become more of an indoor person and even more of a stay-at-home person, so I come here to socialize. I come here to socialize, but only to have a casual chat with the owner, Okamoto-san. Sometimes I stop by after a meeting somewhere.
What kind of stories do you mean by "trivial"?
Odawara: We used to talk a lot about love (laughs). These days, we talk about work. Talking about problems is no different now than it was in the past.

Where is your favorite seat in the restaurant?
Odawara: The outside seating is my favorite, but I think the best is the couch across from the counter. Sitting here, sipping a café latte honey and talking with the owner, Okamoto san, is bliss.
I think it is essential to have blissful time on holidays. What kind of holidays do you spend with your family?
Odawara: I often take my husband, children, and dog in my car, a Fiat, for a walk or picnic at Kinuta Park. I love the atmosphere of the park, which reminds me of New York's Central Park. We also go to department stores, visit each other's parents' homes, and spend time together as a family.


Mizuno's Tech Shield tapered pants layered with a skirt is a great look.
Odawara: Thank you very much. Actually, I haven't really layered pants much (laughs). But I wrapped a skirt around this tapered, slim silhouette to give it volume. I tend to wear thick pants, so the slim silhouette is fresh.
How do you feel about the comfort of the shoes?
Odawara: It feels nice and comfortable on the skin, and the windproofing provided makes me feel warm. I like wearing functional materials because I feel like I am wearing armor.
