I purchased a beautiful burnout kimono as a possibility for a dressy occasion. I didn't find the right dress to wear with it for that particular occasion. Now I have possibilities.

I've held onto it for a while as I loved the material but not the dropped sleeve. I had an epiphany this week. I could use my Nordstrom alterations credit to have it altered.

Sadly, today I was told that it couldn't be done. The alterations person liked it the way it was. I did not. I looked at it in the dressing room for a while, then wandered around the store while I pondered whether to return it or to take it back home to try it on with the items I thought it could work with. After a while, I heard Angie's voice.

"NEXT!"

So I walked over to the counter and returned it. I'm still a little sad.
Goodbye beautiful material almost right kimono jacket.
