When ever I used to read about the Kimono trend I would wrinkle my nose, I didn’t think it was for me. I thought I would look as if I was wearing a dressing gown! Or that a kimono would swamp me?

How wrong I was! As with any trend it is all about adapting it to suit yourself, your personal style and your body shape. I have worn and worn this Kimono jacket…
Why I love this Kimono
- More like a ‘duster coat’ than a kimono,
- No wide sleeves,
- No bulk it is lean and narrow,
- It has stripes,
- Those colours! Yellow and blue with black.
These photos are Iphone snaps from a recent summer evening at a local fairground. I thought it would be nice to share with you, to emphasis that I do wear my clothes more than once! In actual fact I have been living in this one, just right to wear in the evenings , with those summer breezes.

Kimono from:
JD Williams NOW ONLY £19 in the sale available in sizes 10-22
I’m also living in dresses, I am finding they are the coolest things to wear right now.
PS.
This is the original post I wrote when I wore my Kimono out for a casual sunday supper Boho Style!
Have a look at my other style posts for more inspo or a good laugh! Ooh my goodness some of the older ones make me cringe.
