dress, Old Navy
kimono, DIY
necklace, Haitian Beads
So far, I've stuck to styling this kimono top pretty simply, usually knotted in front with a plain tee and jeans. Last week, I decided to see how it would look worn full length and with a dress. I think I might prefer it with a solid black dress, but I did feel pretty in it - I enjoyed feeling the chiffon fluttering around me when I walked. I also got a few compliments from co-workers.
I like this dress, but I've realized that from now on, I will probably avoid dresses constructed with a seam running across my midsection. I find the seam itchy and irritating, not to mention that it makes me feel a little self-conscious about my middle.

Puff sleeves. Or tight sleeves in general. I can't do it. D: I hate feeling like my arms are restricted/contricted. I love your kimono. Maybe try picking out the bright colors with an under dress? Orange or pink or yellow.
ReplyDeleteMegan, I hear ya on the sleeves ... I don't know why some brands make the sleeves so tight? I think I already have broad shoulders for my frame, so anything like a puff sleeve is out for me as well.
ReplyDeleteOooh, I like the idea of a bright color underneath! I think most of my solid dresses are neutrals and my patterned ones tend to be brighter colors, but I just thrifted a green dress that might work well with this kimono.
