You look SO good in everything. I love the high obi belt on you--it adds such drama. LOVE your new hairstyle too. So pretty. You are looking as gorgeous as ever, KC! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-turning-japanese#post-912453 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 19:03:47 +0000 Kiwichik 912453@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ladies thanks for your comments.</p> <p>Lantana - just relooked at myself &amp; I think that you are right in terms of the Japanese aesthetic looking better without the aditional jewellery &amp; I think if I wore the all black again I'd forgo the Ear rings. I'm ambivalent about the pendant in the first outfit - what can I say I love me some bling.</p> <p>TS/ Suz yes I have changed my hair again - my hairdresser is loving the challenge. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-turning-japanese#post-912403 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 17:41:08 +0000 Sarah A 912403@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ These are amazing. I like the high belting.... gotta try that. The chevron skirt really shines and I love the laciness of the topper in 5-6. Well done! <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-turning-japanese#post-912400 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 17:39:37 +0000 rachylou 912400@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Wow!

Fabulous inspiration and two brilliant interpretations, one casual and one more dressy. You know what works for you and make everything your own.&nbsp;<br /><br />By the way, I didn't think it was possible for your hair to get more fabulous than it already was (I always loved it on you), but it looks as if you've changed it up a bit and it<b> is</b> even more fabulous!!&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-turning-japanese#post-912190 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 13:27:41 +0000 Transcona Shannon 912190@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Nice to see you back Kiwi - you've been missed!<br /><br />My goodness, these are beautiful looks on you. I love how you've taken the inspiration but still made the look "you". You have such an arty elegance about your style - it's just beautiful :)<br /><br />And have you changed/cut your hair? Looks fantastic. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-turning-japanese#post-912113 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 11:19:47 +0000 nancylee 912113@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oh, I love these looks on you. &nbsp;Nicely done!<br /><br />Pinterest is taking a lot of my fashion energy, too...but it's so fun! &nbsp;Instant gratification. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-turning-japanese#post-912107 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 11:05:46 +0000 Lantana 912107@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are dazzling outfits and you look so confident in them. Having said that, I don't think you need the pendant in the first outfit although I appreciate the way its shape echos the silver chevrons.<br /> I also think your pretty head tops the second outfit perfectly, without needing the adornment of earrings.<br /> I look forward to seeing more of your "Pinspired" creations. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-turning-japanese#post-912102 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 10:40:14 +0000 kkards 912102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ love the use of the belt. great outfits! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-turning-japanese#post-912097 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 10:30:41 +0000 Caro in Oz 912097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Pinterest can certainly be an addiction:)<br />Love these looks - I also love the modern Japanese designers:) https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-turning-japanese#post-912093 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 09:58:16 +0000 Anonymous 912093@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great belt, and I love the looks you have come up with! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-turning-japanese#post-912083 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 09:28:37 +0000 Kiwichik 912083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Hi Deborah -&nbsp;I got it at a plus size shop TS14 on sale for $7 I'm considering going back and purchasing a red one as well. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-turning-japanese#post-912079 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 09:17:16 +0000 Deborah 912079@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Stunning and I have missed you. &nbsp;I have noticed your Pinterest obsession :)<br /><br />This silhouette on you is just incredibly lovely. &nbsp;Where did you get our obi belt. &nbsp;I have one just like it. &nbsp;I love them. &nbsp;They seem to transcend fashion. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-turning-japanese#post-912057 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 08:25:43 +0000 Anonymous 912057@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Wow! fabulous, Love the kimono tops&nbsp;and in 5 an 6&nbsp; you are a '10' !

I have a new obsession Pinterest. It's like having every home and fashion magazine in the world at your finger tips. It has also made me realise that I really love dressing up and by that I mean taking inspiration not just from what is being worn on the street, in the shops etc but also the costumes and jewellery of other cultures.</p> <p>These two outfits were worn a week or so apart but the addition of the leather obi-type belt and the kimono sleeves really made me feel like a gorgeous Japanese lovely.</p> <p>Photos 1-4 new chevron midi skirt, batwing T, obi &amp; faux suede peep toes.<br /> Photos 5 - 7 trusty black midi, black cami, black chiffon kimono top, obi, peep toes (excuse the VPL and requirement for root touch ups &amp; the fact that I look at bit demented)<br /> Photo 8 - Etro Woman S/S 2013 Runway shot (Pinspiration)</p> <p>Here's the link to my Pinspiration Boards:<br /> <a rel="nofollow" href="http://pinterest.com/Chikkiwi/madame-butterfly/">http://pinterest.com/Chikkiwi/madame-butterfly/</a><br /> and<br /> <a rel="nofollow" href="http://pinterest.com/Chikkiwi/under-the-cherry-blossoms/">http://pinterest.com/Chikkiwi/.....-blossoms/</a> </p>
