I love your coordination, and I'm especially in love with your marble kimono :) It is so modern :) :)
ReplyDeleteI REALLY love the Jan 1 outfit! That kimono is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYour kitsuke is remarkable! I am in love with so many of your outfits. :) January 3 and 4 are my favourites! :)
ReplyDeleteLyuba-chan, Yes, this marble kimono is so modern and hard to coordinate!
ReplyDeleteIt was given me by an old woman and was sleeping in closet for more than a year, because I couldn't find good partner of this kimono.
I'm satisfied with this coordination and your praising it. :)
Jen, this clear pink kimono is not only beautiful, but also convenient! :)
ReplyDeleteIt's not as formal as Houmongi, and is not as casual as Komon.
Moreover, material of this kimono is polyester though it seems silk, so it is easy to take care.
It can be used in various situation!
I'll wear it in spring again. :)
shigatsuhana, Thanks! I learned Kitsuke by only books and internet. I have no teacher. My first Kitsuke was tooooo bad!
ReplyDeleteI have put on kimono to me, my friends or my mannequin 100 times or more. The most important thing is experience!
Practice, practice, practice, and you will become a master of Kitsuke! (^-^)b
Jan/3 kimono was bought by my mother 30 years ago! It's my first Kimono. :)
Jan/4 kimono is my favorite color purple. I wear it for special situations. I have worn it and gone to figure skating show last year!
