KIMONO WEATHER
If you've visited my blog before you'll know I like to champion ultimate versatility in clothes. And right now we're getting into transitional dressing, depressing I know as its still August, but if you shop right you can easily pick up pieces to see you through the seasons.
So lets talk about the kimono. It's really just an extra layer, a very pretty layer of course, but you can throw on over anything and everything. Whether you're at the beach, on a night out, mid- week casual or in the office, a kimono will soon become your new best friend. An easy way to add a bit of style to an otherwise basic outfit.
Kimono (old) New Look
Blue Ripped Fray Hem Tori Jeans New Look £10.00 (was £25.99)
Red Heels Primark £10.00 in-store only
For an everyday look try ripped demin, white tees and sandals. As the weather changes, swap your sandals for coloured pumps or boots. And don't be afraid to add an extra layer in too. If you want to wear a shorter piece like a leather biker jacket/denim jacket, pop it on under the kimono. If you want to wear a longer layer like a trench coat add it on over the kimono.
