I've looked at all the gorgeous WIWs from previous seasons, and you are inspirational! Also Angie has a fabulous post <a href="http://youlookfab.com/2013/05/20/modernize-the-arty-kimono-jacket/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2013/05/.....no-jacket/</a> that I recommend for others who stumble upon my post.</p> <p>I'm choosing between a knee length or a waist length style. Most of the history WIWs are the shorter length, and my first choice was to buy (keep) the shorter blue Find seen below. I wouldn't be sitting on it in my desk chair and it wouldn't be seen as "trying too hard" at the office. (I work in a creative environment so, really, either would be appropriate.)</p> <p>Then my sidebar ads, wherever I go, keep tempting me with this longer kimono jacket. And it's just so pretty. I'm 5'8" and built reasonably athletic / slender shoulders with an apple tending waistline. I think with my body type I could pull off the longer length. (The apple waistline is a gonna be a thing, in either length...grey instead of white t is my camouflage trick.) </p> <p>What are your thoughts about styling kimono jackets for 2015?</p> <p>Please post pics if you have them! I love drawing from your experiences.</p> <p> </p>
