A gold necklace worked to bring out the warm tones in the garment, and a big chunky belt gave it a bit of shape and definition at the waist. I have another michiyuki with a much more modern and graphic pattern, and I can&#8217;t wait to do a similar outfit with that one as well, but trying to evoke the mod style of the 1960s.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m still on vacation, but I&#8217;m keeping up with things as much as I can.
