This <a title=\"My first furisode \u2013 because being a girl both rocks and sucks sometimes.\" href=\"http:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/2010\/03\/my-first-furisode-because-being-a-girl-both-rocks-and-sucks-sometimes\/\">particular furisode<\/a> stirs up a lot of conflicting feelings for me. It was one of the first kimono I bought, despite technically being too old to wear it even back then. I also bought it while visiting someone who was very important to me during that phase of my life. We haven&#8217;t spoken in years, and the kimono still reminds me of that trip, but I was hoping doing something fun with it would help me distance myself from the awkward memories.*<\/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-2217 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\/2018\/11\/graduation-style-outfit_16689494490_o.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"158\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/graduation-style-outfit_16689494490_o-158x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/graduation-style-outfit_16689494490_o-158x300.jpg 158w, https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/graduation-style-outfit_16689494490_o-600x1137.jpg 600w, https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/graduation-style-outfit_16689494490_o-540x1024.jpg 540w, https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/graduation-style-outfit_16689494490_o-79x150.jpg 79w, https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/graduation-style-outfit_16689494490_o.jpg 844w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 158px) 100vw, 158px\" \/><\/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\/2018\/11\/graduation-style-outfit_16254524994_o.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"169\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/graduation-style-outfit_16254524994_o-169x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/graduation-style-outfit_16254524994_o-169x300.jpg 169w, https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/graduation-style-outfit_16254524994_o-600x1063.jpg 600w, https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/graduation-style-outfit_16254524994_o-578x1024.jpg 578w, https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/graduation-style-outfit_16254524994_o-85x150.jpg 85w, https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/graduation-style-outfit_16254524994_o.jpg 903w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 169px) 100vw, 169px\" \/><\/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\/2018\/11\/graduation-style-outfit_16689491810_o.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"201\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/graduation-style-outfit_16689491810_o-201x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/graduation-style-outfit_16689491810_o-201x300.jpg 201w, https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/graduation-style-outfit_16689491810_o-600x896.jpg 600w, https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/graduation-style-outfit_16689491810_o-685x1024.jpg 685w, https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/graduation-style-outfit_16689491810_o-100x150.jpg 100w, https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/graduation-style-outfit_16689491810_o.jpg 1071w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 201px) 100vw, 201px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>Wrangling Tsukiko into the hakama proved a lot more difficult than I expected, and she looks a little rumpled, but the outfit still turned out pretty fantastic, I think. Unfortunately, for some reason, the date-eri looked INCREDIBLY NEON PINK in the photos, no matter what I did with lighting and then later in post-processing. I edited the photos to be a little more accurate. They&#8217;re still not perfect, but they are a better representation of the ensemble.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">Items used in this coordination<\/h4>\n\n\t\t<style>\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .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: 16%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .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-2' class='gallery galleryid-2217 gallery-columns-6 gallery-size-thumbnail'><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\/2017\/03\/furisode.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/furisode-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-2-3315\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-2-3315'>\n\t\t\t\tPeony and Bamboo Furisode\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/hanhaba-1-1.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/hanhaba-1-1-125x125.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-2-6394\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-2-6394'>\n\t\t\t\tPurple Geometric\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/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\/2017\/04\/hakama-2.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/hakama-2-125x125.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/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\/2017\/03\/haneri-7.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/haneri-7-125x125.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-2-3400\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-2-3400'>\n\t\t\t\tSakura\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl>\n\t\t\t<br style='clear: both' \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>*Update if anyone is curious, after some upheaval we&#8217;re closer than ever now.
