There are plenty of folks in my life whom I love. So I decided that for this week, I&#8217;d try to come up with a sort of thematic outfit. I started with this <a title=\"Kasuri wool komon and haori set\" href=\"http:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/2011\/02\/kasuri-wool-komon-and-haori-set\/\">black wool komon I got from Ame<\/a> a while back. The red and white designs, from a distance, remind me of hearts and snowflakes, which seemed perfect for a love-related holiday this time of year. The kimono came with a matching haori, but I decided to bring a bit of brightness to it with my well-worn red haori and a red hakata obi. I think this outfit is definitely cute and lovely, without being overly frilly or twee.<\/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
