Joan, thank you so much for sharing these photos with us! You are an inspiration!! I love both kimonos (have my eye on the longer one from Anthropologie, so beautiful!) on you. Such an elegant and interesting look, festive too, so perfect for your birthday (happy birthday!). Love the idea of tan or gold sandals.
Angie, thanks so much for sharing the thought process behind putting together this marvelous birthday outfit, and for introducing us to Joan. So very fun!
This has inspired me to add a kimono to my wardrobe. I love both of these over the column of black, and Joan looks stunning. Thank you and your lovely client for sharing this.
Ooh...she looks fantastic!
Thank her for sharing.
I like both kimonos : the second one looks very chic over the column of black, the first one is more dramatic.
Wow- Joan is as timeless as the lovely kimonos. Apparently, 80 is the new 50! What a great silhouette and the extra layer is both beautiful and practical. Seeing her made my day!
It's time to take the numbers off our ages....this is timeless beauty and elegance. Feeling good and beautiful is a state of mind. Let us not be dragged down by chronology, amen. Joan, lovely! Thank you for sharing with us.
I was one who really wanted to see the kimono IRL. Thanks to you both for posting these pictures. And 80? Thanks for showing us how it's done. I can't wait to look that good when I'm 80. As a point of interest, and because you reminded me I say I like kimonos every time you post about them (ha), I looked around the stores yesterday (esp Anthro) and didn't find anything . It has to be the right piece - when they look cheap and hastily made , it can break the look).
Truly inspirational. Joan, you look amazing, and the way you have embraced the kimono trend is completely authentic and beautiful on you. Thank you for the pictures!
This is very inspirational! I need to show this post to my 73yo Mom who thinks she is too old to be fashionable! Thank you so much Joan and Angie for sharing these outfits with us. Kimonos look fantastic and very natural on you. Joan, you are truly a role model for all of us!
I think one of my favorite things about this look is that while it shines in the daytime it also makes for a beautiful summer EVENING look - which can be so hard to nail!
