I would also like to see a silky oversized blouse worn untucked and falling below the hemline of the kimono. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kimono-stylings#post-937846 Tue, 21 May 2013 07:31:53 +0000 lyn67 937846@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Now, That's a good job Suz!

That you will end up looking as if you are in costume. But once I took the belt off, I felt a lot better. I can really see your short one styled in all these ways.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kimono-stylings#post-937720 Tue, 21 May 2013 02:29:20 +0000 Mochi 937720@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Ooooh, the kimono with the rolled up boyfriends!<br /><br />But #5 makes me melt as well.&nbsp;<br /><br />Actually, they are all so fun and organic--nothing contrived about a single one of these.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kimono-stylings#post-937718 Tue, 21 May 2013 02:28:25 +0000 Anonymous 937718@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You must keep this beauty! My favorites are 1/2, 5, &amp; 6 but all are fab. Angie is right about styling. I'd love to see this topper with white jeans too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kimono-stylings#post-937708 Tue, 21 May 2013 02:21:05 +0000 pil 937708@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Scrolling through the photos I found myself thinking, I like that, and that, and that, etc : ) The shirt in 1/2 reminds me of the Willow Ware china pattern.<br /> You sure have some great looks for your kimono now, Suz, show it off on your upcoming trip! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kimono-stylings#post-937698 Tue, 21 May 2013 02:07:53 +0000 Suz 937698@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I just had to add...it has gone in my suitcase for this week's trip! Visiting my mother and taking my daughter (who has a school holiday) to see Shakespeare at Stratford!&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kimono-stylings#post-937540 Mon, 20 May 2013 22:56:13 +0000 Suz 937540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Ooh! So exciting! I am really happy because I was almost ready to purge this, yet felt so sad about that. <br /><br />A friend persuaded me to buy it last winter and I really liked it in the store. Then I just never figured out how to wear it.&nbsp;<br /><br />I was imagining it more as a winter dressy piece. Now it's a summer any time piece! And makes a fab lightweight jacket.&nbsp;<br /><br />Angie, I just took the sash belt off! It goes on with some loops (that are removable). So really it can be worn with or without. <br /><br />But for now, I can bandage your poor head with that silky belt. I hope you recover soon!&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kimono-stylings#post-937535 Mon, 20 May 2013 22:49:12 +0000 rachylou 937535@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think it's pretty fantastic. I think I see the first and last pics as most *you.*<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kimono-stylings#post-937491 Mon, 20 May 2013 22:00:13 +0000 nancylee 937491@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love all of&nbsp;these, Suz, especially #1-2 and #6. &nbsp;Kimono jackets are a great way to dress up an outfit in a fun way...and how lucky you had one in your closet! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kimono-stylings#post-937490 Mon, 20 May 2013 21:59:31 +0000 Angie 937490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ ALL KILLER!! How did you make the tie go away?? It has all fallen into place sans the tie :)<br /><br />*faints* <br /><br />Forgot the helmet :(<br /><br />*ouch*<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kimono-stylings#post-937482 Mon, 20 May 2013 21:49:19 +0000 Ingunn 937482@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love them all, Suz, and I particularly like the jeans versions. I think white jeans would be fab, too - try that with #1!&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kimono-stylings#post-937477 Mon, 20 May 2013 21:37:39 +0000 krishnidoux 937477@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ 7 is my favourite!&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kimono-stylings#post-937454 Mon, 20 May 2013 21:21:37 +0000 bj1111 937454@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it all...especially the non jean versions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kimono-stylings#post-937406 Mon, 20 May 2013 20:10:49 +0000 Suz 937406@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think it is 100% poly, Texstyle! It is pretty indestructible. It has a kind of inbuilt structure of its own. ha! Thanks for your thoughts, and also yours, Rae. It felt pretty good with jeans and with the denim skirt. Better than with a dress.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kimono-stylings#post-937403 Mon, 20 May 2013 20:09:39 +0000 Inge 937403@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Of course, Suz, my pleasure! Can't wait to read your update.<br /><br />And couldn't agree more, it's very helpful to see all your styling ideas, so thank you for posting<i> all</i> the different looks. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kimono-stylings#post-937401 Mon, 20 May 2013 20:08:11 +0000 texstyle 937401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I esp. like the combination of the pattern of #4's dress and the black kimono.&nbsp; That's exactly the kind of patterned tank I was thinking might look good with it and jeans. Next favorite is #1 - really fun&nbsp;casual chic look. <br /><br />I can't remember the fabric content of the kimono but wonder if there is a way to soften it up? https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kimono-stylings#post-937400 Mon, 20 May 2013 20:07:58 +0000 Suz 937400@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thank you, Inge. I agree about the Mandarin. I almost didn't show it but thought it's good to show the misses, too. I must run back to check more comments on Mochi's thread. By the way, thank you SO much for your top shopping suggestions. I'll have an update later on.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kimono-stylings#post-937396 Mon, 20 May 2013 20:05:35 +0000 Raisin 937396@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it with jeans! I like the floral top underneath, that seems to go with the oriental feel of the jacket. I also really like the stripes too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kimono-stylings#post-937393 Mon, 20 May 2013 20:03:38 +0000 Inge 937393@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'm easy, I love them all:-)<br />The one with the mandarin collar shirt is my least favourite, somehow the neckline seems to interfere with the kimono silhouette? Love the idea of the jacket with the track pants though! (I suggested this on Nancy's thread:-), and this shorter style really works with jeans, skirts AND dresses. Fab! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kimono-stylings#post-937389 Mon, 20 May 2013 20:00:52 +0000 Suz 937389@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks to all your excellent ideas this morning, I spent a fun half hour in my closet.&nbsp;Here are some potential stylings for my black Biba kimono or <i>happi</i>, as Mochi explained.&nbsp;<br /><br />Let me know your thoughts!&nbsp;<br /><br />1/2: Angie suggested high neck top, BF (my slouchy skinnies, in this case), heels. Could also try with white jeans -- just forgot to put them on.&nbsp;<br /><br />3: more casual version of same.&nbsp;<br /><br />4: Joy suggested a sheath dress. Trying with flat sandals.&nbsp;<br /><br />5. Denim skirt, wedges, BR textured MadMen shell.&nbsp;<br /><br />6: Leith trousers and an orphaned cummerbund waist top.&nbsp;<br /><br />7: Double dose of Asia -- Mandarin collared fuchsia shirt with Leith trousers. Could also try the fuchsia crops once they are hemmed. With or without this top.&nbsp;<br /><br />8: With cobalt tube skirt, cobalt T,&nbsp;and leopard pumps.&nbsp;<br /><br />Will be interested to know if any of these work or if it's jjust a no-go for me.&nbsp;
