Now in Estonia, the Japanese emperor and empress continue their European tour.
At first I was bummed to see Empress Michiko is this ensemble which so clearly looks like the one she wore in Switzerland. Ok, cute hat and the suit fits well but.....
And then I discovered there was meaning behind her outfit (so very Japanese)
"Michiko was wearing a dress-suit in blue, black and white, the colours of the Estonian national flag."Japan is a country that pays a lot of attention to symbols, so it's very telling that the empress was dressed in the Estonian national colours," Urmas Reinsalu, head of the parliament's Estonia-Japan friendship group, said on television."
Respect for other nations expressed via fashion- very cool indeed!
Clearly Michiko's badass digs have the Estonian first lady's panties in a knot. Get a look at that icy expression!!! Then again can you blame her? What is she wearing? Is she the first lady or the cleaning lady?
