Boulder is open to adventurous stylings. Our next door neighbors have the most beautiful kimono I've ever seen hanging on their wall! She should be wearing it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-red-kimono-ok-or-too-much/page/2#post-1722013 Thu, 01 Sep 2016 14:48:51 +0000 texstyle 1722013@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the kimono works esp. in Boulder (love that city).

I agree, it's an elegant look with the column of black. The other outfit was more cool and casual. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-red-kimono-ok-or-too-much/page/2#post-1718726 Thu, 25 Aug 2016 02:15:20 +0000 Anonymous 1718726@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie and Bennett, you had me at "elegant", something I aspire to attain. Thank you. Angie, I'm glad the mirror is ok for photos. I am on a hunt for an oversized floor mirror for the bedroom but other things have higher priority right now.<br /> Bennett, I guess I'll have to buy a new robe </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-red-kimono-ok-or-too-much/page/2#post-1718673 Thu, 25 Aug 2016 00:41:53 +0000 Bennett 1718673@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is a beautiful kimono, does not look like a robe to me (which is my peeve about kimonos on me). You look so elegant! I must re-think my position now and find one that is this striking. Funny, you actually WERE using it as a robe! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-red-kimono-ok-or-too-much/page/2#post-1718660 Thu, 25 Aug 2016 00:22:29 +0000 Angie 1718660@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very elegant.

The black &amp; bone is great.</p> <p>I also really like the kimono. It's bold but you pull it off well, and your styling keeps it simple enough that it works for you. Like others, I'd love to see it with longer jeans or a column of (light) color under it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-red-kimono-ok-or-too-much/page/2#post-1718444 Wed, 24 Aug 2016 16:13:14 +0000 TraceyLiz65 1718444@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, Joy the kimono look is incredible! &nbsp;And your other look is wonderful, love it!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-red-kimono-ok-or-too-much/page/2#post-1718322 Wed, 24 Aug 2016 11:29:04 +0000 unfrumped 1718322@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the kimono but not sure where I would wear it? What occasion. " Casual drama/ dramatic casual"? Dinner party with friends , or art gallery? Is it an item that is at its best when standing ( like the famous gillet)?<br /> It also gives me an idea for loungewear though that's not what you were asking-- more along the lines of wearing more beautiful items for at- home. ( not sleepwear, but having a glass of wine and dinner with family) if I could find the right combination of form and function. It reminds me about sizing, too-- often "loungewear" items are crudely sized, so will look sloppy. Looking outside the box for regular items or unusual layering pieces could be fun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-red-kimono-ok-or-too-much#post-1718289 Wed, 24 Aug 2016 06:48:07 +0000 Nishaa 1718289@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it... It's a statement piece and will serve you well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-red-kimono-ok-or-too-much#post-1718264 Wed, 24 Aug 2016 03:53:19 +0000 Anonymous 1718264@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenn, I think I will love living here. Thank you for the welcome.<br /> Windchime, the pictures are taken in our new master bedroom bath. The glass brick makes a wall that curves around a walk-in shower. Our only full length mirror is on the inside of the door of the loo room, so I use it.<br /> Karie, thank you for the ideas for styling the kimono. I can easily do all black or cream under it.<br /> Shevia, your words mean so much coming from one whose style I really admire. Please treat us with a WIW soon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-red-kimono-ok-or-too-much#post-1718252 Wed, 24 Aug 2016 03:25:27 +0000 Jaime 1718252@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both work beautifully to my eye. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-red-kimono-ok-or-too-much#post-1718222 Wed, 24 Aug 2016 02:29:40 +0000 Karie 1718222@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the kimono! Perhaps wear it with either all black or all cream/white underneath. It is a gorgeous statement piece.&nbsp;</p> <p>The second outfit is a winner too. I love black and cream/bone outfits. The bone color softens the harshness of the black. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-red-kimono-ok-or-too-much#post-1718193 Wed, 24 Aug 2016 01:30:41 +0000 Windchime 1718193@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The kimono looks amazing on you! I love the color palette and the elegance. The second outfit is also beautiful. You can successfully wear two very different outfits! </p> <p>Are the pictures taken in the new bathroom? It looks beautiful; my eye went right to the brick glass--very nice! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-red-kimono-ok-or-too-much#post-1718187 Wed, 24 Aug 2016 01:23:45 +0000 Jenn 1718187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome to the Front Range, Joy! I like the kimono, but I'd be curious to see it with full-length jeans, since it's so long. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-red-kimono-ok-or-too-much#post-1718166 Wed, 24 Aug 2016 00:28:21 +0000 Anonymous 1718166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for your thoughtful suggestions and comments. My general feeling is that the kimono works and continuing to play with outfit ideas may produce better results. I want to try your styling ideas., Aida.<br /> It seems that the black and bone outfit is a hit. The long vest gives it some drama. I will repeat the bone and black. Most of the season I have worn this as a column of bone. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-red-kimono-ok-or-too-much#post-1718158 Wed, 24 Aug 2016 00:14:49 +0000 Suz 1718158@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That kimono is gorgeous. I think if you play with it you will have a winning outfit for sure.&nbsp;</p> <p>Love the other outfit also and the photos turned out great! Congrats on your move! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-red-kimono-ok-or-too-much#post-1718152 Tue, 23 Aug 2016 23:40:36 +0000 gradfashionista 1718152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The second outfit is completely fabulous--wear it more often!</p> <p>The kimono is also pretty, but the cuffs are throwing me off. Maybe something black and the same length? Or white? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-red-kimono-ok-or-too-much#post-1718151 Tue, 23 Aug 2016 23:36:51 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1718151@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the kimono outfit, and I know it looks a lot more flowy in real life, as you move. It's hard to photograph this kind of piece. I think you are right to leave off the belt. The second outfit is terrific--a classic Joy look! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-red-kimono-ok-or-too-much#post-1718115 Tue, 23 Aug 2016 22:39:21 +0000 Aida 1718115@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Totally adore the kimono, just as you've styled it Joy. Would also be super over white skinnies+white or metallic footwear, and could also be fun paired with bermuda shorts and strappy flat sandals. Cognac leather would be especially nice with this piece too.</p> <p>Second look is super fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-red-kimono-ok-or-too-much#post-1718074 Tue, 23 Aug 2016 21:47:25 +0000 Mirjana 1718074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kimono is beautiful on you, but bonus , I mean #3 and #4 is my favorite, so elegant . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-red-kimono-ok-or-too-much#post-1718059 Tue, 23 Aug 2016 20:55:05 +0000 Cococat 1718059@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The kimono look is nice and I can imagine a long narrow scarf with it too.</p> <p>The second look is my favourite. It looks beautiful on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-red-kimono-ok-or-too-much#post-1718040 Tue, 23 Aug 2016 20:14:09 +0000 Sal 1718040@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh yes- I remember that stage of moving. I like both looks - but the second one is just so elegant and chic on you. </p>
