This year I&#8217;m not going to make any resolutions, because I&#8217;ve learned that life always gets in the way. Instead, within the next few weeks I will be sharing a road map for the future of this blog. Don&#8217;t worry, it&#8217;s not going anywhere and it&#8217;s not going to stop being about kimono. It&#8217;s all good news, I promise. I just need some time to formulate my thoughts.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, starting the year off with a new coordination seemed like a good way to open things up. My initial plan was going to use my <a href=\"https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/tsukesage-5.jpg\">usagi shifuku tsukesage<\/a> but I couldn&#8217;t find it. This relates back to my aforementioned plan and roadmap. My collection is that much of a mess.<\/p>\n<p>I decided instead to use this kurotomesode with the <a href=\"https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/tsukesage-5.jpg\">tagasode<\/a> motif, which seemed like a good kimono-related omen to start the year off with. I paired it with a gold obi with a celebratory <a href=\"https:\/\/www.japanese-wiki-corpus.org\/culture\/Noshi%20(traditional%20Japanese%20gift%20ornament).html\">tabane-noshi<\/a> motif and white accessories, for a more traditional coordination than I usually do. I feel like these combine for an outfit that invites good luck and celebration of kimono for 2023, which I need right now!<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style>\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-12268 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-medium'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/new-year-2023.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"125\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/new-year-2023-125x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/new-year-2023-125x300.jpg 125w, https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/new-year-2023-425x1024.jpg 425w, https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/new-year-2023-637x1536.jpg 637w, https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/new-year-2023-62x150.jpg 62w, https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/new-year-2023.jpg 664w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 125px) 100vw, 125px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/new-year-2023-2.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"125\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/new-year-2023-2-125x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/new-year-2023-2-125x300.jpg 125w, https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/new-year-2023-2-425x1024.jpg 425w, https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/new-year-2023-2-637x1536.jpg 637w, https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/new-year-2023-2-62x150.jpg 62w, https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/new-year-2023-2.jpg 664w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 125px) 100vw, 125px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/new-year-2023-3.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"197\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/new-year-2023-3-197x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/new-year-2023-3-197x300.jpg 197w, https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/new-year-2023-3-672x1024.jpg 672w, https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/new-year-2023-3-1008x1536.jpg 1008w, https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/new-year-2023-3-98x150.jpg 98w, https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/new-year-2023-3.jpg 1050w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 197px) 100vw, 197px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>I apologise for the lighting in these photos, up here in the wilds of Montreal it gets dark very early in the winter, so I don&#8217;t have much light to work with.
