I&#8217;ve loved this kimono ever since I first bought it back in Boulder, Colorado. It&#8217;s an odd fabric, it feels like a mix of silk and cotton. It&#8217;s very light and breezy, despite being lined, and is smoother than cotton but has a lovely grip that makes it a pleasure to put on. However, I still can&#8217;t believe I ever wore this comfortably though.

It&#8217;s really subdued but the texture of it makes it feel so lush. I couldn&#8217;t resist using my spider haneri which is a near-perfect match to the obi. Also, you guys, I&#8217;m so proud of myself. I did an ensemble with yellow accents and\u00a0<em>didn&#8217;t\u00a0<\/em>use that lemon-yellow shibori obiage and hakata obijime I use all the time. Will wonders never cease? I did use a yellow obiage, but a much more subdued one. The obijime was a better choice in theory than in practice I think, but it&#8217;s not terrible. I just know I can do better next time.
