It feels like sometimes I get so caught up in my kitsuke experimentation, be it kimono-as-costumes<\/a>, turning a kimono into a ballgown<\/a>, steampunk<\/a> hime-styles, or one of the other multitudes of things I’ve done lately, that I forget about the timeless simplicity that drew me to kimono in the first place. So for this outfit, I decided to go in a very clean and traditional direction that’s all about the little details. I paired up my sagara embroidery tsukesage with an obi I got in the infamous obi bundle<\/a> and hadn’t used yet. Accessories were plain and classic, a casual obijime that reflects the colour of the kimono and an obiage that adds a little bit of sweetness while still being quiet and discreet. This obi’s motif placement is very strange, and I had to cheat a fair bit while tying it, but isn’t that what mannequins are for? \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\t\t
