Kimono Challenge Tag #8

My dream kitsuke items...


Oh there are so many of them. Mostly I want the shoes and various accessories, but I don't really have any saved photos of them. I tend to not save photos of stuff I can't get, since I don't see a point in looking at those photos and only wish, wish, wish. I do save photos of styles or coordinations that I like, and I guess those could be my dream items too. 

I'm pretty sure that's the same kimono as in Kimono Hime coordination haha :)

Kimono Challenge Tag #7

Hello Everyone, 


Did you know that I rarely pick out my outfits in advance? I'm pretty spontaneous when it comes to coordination, and most of the time it works. The rest of the time I say it works :) I find that I work better when I don't plan and come up with the best results as I go along. 


Other than that, I really don't have any other confessions to make.

Kimono Challenge Tag #6 What do you like and don't like about kimono

Hello Everyone, 


There are not many things about kimono that I don't like, but the #1 of them is FOLDING! I simply hate folding kimono after I'm done wearing it! I literally have to force myself to fold it up, or it will stay on the couch (bed/floor/dresser) for weeks at a time. 


Another thing I don't really care for is that majority of kimono that I like are too small for me because they are vintage. Or too expensive if they are modern and new. There is no way I can spend hundreds or thousands of dollars for kimono items I want, and it sucks! I would love to wear Yumi Yamamoto's or Mamechiyo's kimono, but alas... I'll have to win a lottery first. 


Now, the things I love about kimono are endless! Or maybe I can just sum it up in one word: COOL! Kimono are just too cool for their own good :) And how many other garment out there can make you feel so beautiful and graceful in a matter of moments? The designs are gorgeous too, and pretty much anything can be put on kimono. But of course, it's the obsessed kimono person talking in me.
