I’m cheating today. Someone alert the authorities! Typically, the #MonoKimono challenge<\/a> occurs on the last weekend of the month, and Fudangi First Friday<\/a> occurs on, well, the first Friday. However, I had other things on my mind this past weekend, and I know this weekend is going to be quite busy, so I figured I’d take advantage of a free afternoon and combine the two smack in the middle of the week.<\/p>\n

It’s finally, mercifully, starting to feel like Autumn here so that was my jumping-off point. I had to build an outfit that was both casual and monochrome, so it felt like the right time to bust out my rusty red-orange wool komon. My Tokaido hanhaba obi is an absolute spot on match for the kimono, even down to the yellow accent colour matching the yellow weave.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
