They are cute, and I think it would be perfect for me, as I am always looking for something with a 3/4 length sleeve to cover my tattoos at work. Hmmm... you have inspired me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kaftans-kimonos-and-the-coming-of-autumn-booo#post-1334789 Tue, 19 Aug 2014 07:20:57 +0000 Neel 1334789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun look for the beach! And pretty colors on you. I am sure your BF appreciates the game tickets more I find silk a bit scary because of the way I deal with clothes! Someday ..... I will own only silk ... A girl can dream </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kaftans-kimonos-and-the-coming-of-autumn-booo#post-1334692 Tue, 19 Aug 2014 03:06:22 +0000 Gigi 1334692@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have never heard of a kaftan...thanks for the pic! I love how you look in it on the beach. But yes, straight back into the bag it had to go! :)</p> <p>I don't think your BF needs that scarf. He can enjoy it on you instead...at the football game. :)</p> <p>I love silk too. I've been keeping my eye open for a great silk button-down. But they're pretty hard to find; a lot of places mix other fabrics in with the silk these days. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kaftans-kimonos-and-the-coming-of-autumn-booo#post-1334077 Mon, 18 Aug 2014 14:11:33 +0000 Angie 1334077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice beach cover-up. And kimono jackets&nbsp;look great over dresses or over jeans.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kaftans-kimonos-and-the-coming-of-autumn-booo#post-1334037 Mon, 18 Aug 2014 13:26:58 +0000 RheaJ 1334037@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sunshine sunshine sunshiiiiiiine!! I finally got away for three WHOLE WEEKS of gorgeous sunshine on a jaunt to Morocco and, please please excuse the far less than stellar hair/makeup day on the picture below (if anyone knows how to move the pictures around in posts please give me a shout out because I haven't a clue!) but how GORGEOUS is this Kaftan??</p> <p>It actually went straight back in the bag after this picture because its silk and silk - on a beach - um nooo!&nbsp;</p> <p>And now I am home and it has basically rained solidly for four days. Sob.&nbsp;</p> <p>So that's it. Fine. I will gear up for winter and winter is ALSO all about the silk. Silk scarves, silk kimonos, silk stockings... okay maybe not the stockings but definitely the scarves and kimonos.</p> <p>I love scarves. LOVE. I bought by boyfriend <a rel="nofollow" href="http://knightsbridgeneckwear.co.uk/shop/scarves/knightsbridge-brushed-silk-scarf-2382.html">this scarf</a> as a random gift - who doesn't want a scarf? And then I decided it was far too soft and gorgeous to give away and bought him football tickets instead. (I am not a horrible girlfriend really!) I am also completely in love with this <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.houseoffraser.co.uk/Ted+Baker+Rose+on+canvas+silk+long+scarf/191342072,default,pd.html?cm_mmc=Google+Shopping-_-Product+Extensions+And+Listings-_-Ted+Baker-_-_Ted+Baker+Rose+on+canvas+silk+long+scarf&amp;$$ja=cgid:7042510555|tsid:44970|cid:146504155|lid:56006846395|nw:g|crid:29472366235|rnd:937014578780319649|dvc:c|adp:1o1|mt:">gorgeous water colour scarf</a>&nbsp;and have my fingers crossed that it is still available/on sale on pay day because my holiday cleaned out my "pretty things" fund!&nbsp;</p> <p>And apparently autumn is alllll about the Kimono. Awesome. Though not entirely practical for the rainy English autumn, a gorgeous floaty silk kimono is amazing for "work to bar" nights out. I would have collage'd these into a pretty picture but I have nothing to do that with on this computer so pretty collages will have to wait.
