Kimono jacket with jeans

When I joined You look fab, I came across an article about kimono jackets. And how to combine them with jeans (preferably). As I own a few kimono type jackets (and an original real one), I tried the combination. Thought it was really nice. So thank you Angie.

Very fab, Greetje! I love the volume over the cropped jeans. The red trim on the kimono jacket is such a happy detail, and the black & white print gives the entire look a fab graphic effect. The red shoes are the icing on the cake.
Ooh: now I want to hear the story behind the two bags:-)

Another welcome! I love the kimono on you - the colours are fab, and I like how the band of red is picked up in the shoe choice.

I like how the red is repeated in your jacket and shoes. Keeps the eye moving and makes it a very interesting outfit.

This may be my most favorite kimono look on here so far. The crisp, vibrant colors, the jeans and mostly the SHOES make it really great. You look fantastic. Welcome!

I am overwhelmed by so many comments. And all so positive. Thank you for welcoming me in such a terrific way.
At first I wanted to respond to everyone individually, but haven't found a button to do that. The replybox at the bottom apparently is how I can react on your comments.
So for Inge.... the story behind the two bags..... is a small story LOL.
My black bag is my normal handbag of that day (I change with every outfit as I have about 10 nice handbags in different colours). The red bag in the picture is my shopper and contained:
- an umbrella as it was dodgy weather
- shoes to bring to the cobbler
- clothes to bring to the dry cleaner
I love this shopper bag. Of course I could have switched the content of my black bag into my red shopper. Sometimes I do that. Easy enough as I keep the whole content of my bag in an inside-bag called VIP (Very Intelligent Pocket) with lots of pockets, zip pockets etc. You just grab it and put it in another bag, never forgetting anything.
And I will post more often. I think. As I also maintain my little blog, it is a struggle to find time. But soooo nice.

You are adorable-y chic! You wear the kimono jacket so well. LOVE the red shopper. I, too, am looking forward to more of your posts! Welcome

Thanks so much for indulging my curiosity, Greetje! I hope I didn't sound too nosy-( I just thought it was so fun that you had both a black and a red bag, and that both looked so perfect with your outfit. When I'm out and about running errands and schlepping around tons of stuff, I too often carry an extra bag, but it's usually one of those foldable Envirosax ones. Your red shopper is so happy and fun.

Sounds like you have an amazing collection of bags. I'm looking forward to seeing them featured in future outfits;-) Thanks so much for posting, and I should have said this yesterday: a big welcome to the forum!

P.S. Yes, you can comment by adding text to the reply box underneath the last reply on all the forum threads.

Never felt so welcome in my life! You do know how to make it virtually impossible not to upload more haha.
And Inge: I am Dutch, like Angie (inderdaad leuk!). And we Dutch are very direct and straight forward. It would take you a lot of effort before I am ever offended hahaha.
And just to tease you, herewith two photos of two of my other bags...
