After a bit of a lull in my blogging, I am back and ready to begin with regular posting. As the days grow cooler I am finding myself with more energy and also a much wider variety of kimono items to wear. I don't know about you guys, but I can only cycle through the same two kimono before I become very bored and have much less desire to dress up. I'm really hoping now that the weather is growing cooler there will be more summer kimono available and that they wont be snapped up quite as quick as they are during the summer months so that this time next year I can offer far more interesting content.
Today I am going to talk about my least favourite kimono items. so far. This is going to be a bit harder for me since I don't think I have any true regrets or dislikes in my collection, apart from kimono that I've bought that are far to small for me.
First item is this kimono which isn't a very strong dislike, it's more so just an item I feel apathetic to. It's an off-white hitoe komon with multi-coloured flowers. I'm not entirely sure what type of flower they are, but I'm leaning toward kiku, or maybe daisy? I really should take it to IG to get diagnosed. It definitely has a strong spring feel which I think discredits the idea that they are kiku.
I got this botan obi to go with the above kimono. I think they two look nicely together, however the obi turned out to be brighter than I expected. It looks relatively muted here and I bought it expecting a pleasant kelly green, but in real life it is more of a fluorescent green which I am not terribly fond of.
And there you have it, my dislikes from my collection. For a time I considered talking about my general dilikes when it comes to kimono but I decided to save that for the 6th entry. Thank you for taking the time to read this far. For regular updates on new entries, outfit sneak peaks and recent purchases you can follow my facebook page!
