Kimono (& Link Up)

August 17, 2017

One trend I can’t get enough of is the kimono trend. What a fun easy way to update your look.

The Kimono

This kimono from Shein has a pretty green, yellow and orange floral print with an ivory background and black piping. I had to have it as soon as I saw it! It can be worn tied at the waist or left open (which I prefer).

 

The Jewelry

My newest Kendra Scott jewelry looked perfect with this outfit, I think. I’m wearing my Elle earrings in Emerald Cat’s Eye which was my first ever Kendra piece and still one of my fav pairs of earrings.  Also I layered necklaces with the Jayde Opal Pendant and the Rayne pendant in black (a birthday gift from my friend Lynn!).  I just thought the colors really came together well here.

 

Everything Else

I’m wearing my Hudson raw edge cropped flare jeans.  Even though these were more than I usually spend on jeans, these ended up being a fabulous buy cost-per-wear since they’re flattering, comfortable, and I love the way they show off cute shoes! Also wearing an asymmetrical tank, Soft Surroundings sunglasses, strappy sandals, and a vintage bag.

    Not only a gorgeous kimono but I love the black top and the sandals. I haven’t found Kendra Scott in the UK, yet. I have found Kate Spade so give me time and I may.

    Very nice on all the black! Great colors! I love the way you styled the kimono. Enjoy your weekend!

    The kimono is so versatile and looks great in many ways. The black top is very chick and offsets very nicely the print of the kimono

    SUCH a gorgeous look, the kimono makes such a statement with the black, and love the color of the earrings which harmonize with the kimono.

    I LOVE your kimono! I want it! I’m wearing a kimono this week too, but I’m after a longer one like yours for autumn.

    Thank you so much for the feature; I’m glad you like my shocking pink coat as much as I do! xx

    What a pretty kimono! Love it with the all black. I think I am going to get those same earrings for a wedding I am going to in Oct. The main color in my dress is green, and they are so pretty!
