Angie's blog post today prompts me to post this photo.

Here is a Biba kimono jacket purchased on consignment and never worn out of the house. I find it really hard to style. I do plan to try Angie's suggestions, of course, but perhaps seeing it here gives you a clue why it is tricky.

Here, I thought it conflicted with the neckline of the dress.

But it seems to hit me at a weird place, too, and is a little too stiff to be really drapey. It has a belt (wearing it here but not pulled all the way closed) and can also be worn open. There are pockets right on the hip, which is a bit odd, too.

Maybe I just need to pass it along. Or maybe try it with my slouchy skinnies? I think I was actually wearing those when I bought the thing....
