WIW Kimono topper debut

Hi fabbers! I swung by Aritzia yesterday as this Kimono I had been spying on went on sale...I had already bought one featured on Angie's Kimono post a few months ago, but the tags were still hanging and I thought before I cut them off I would try this one. I love it...it's shorter which I like and the drape is perfect! I might have to post pictures of the other one and see if it's worth having two! Let me know what you think....ps. I'm cutting the tags and wearing to lunch with my daughter today!

Thanks for looking and suggestions for improvement!

Wow, Carole how lovely kimono, I like short one and think that's good choice. You look gorgeous, great pants I love the colour.

Nothing beats when you find a great piece and want to wear it right away. Lovely new kimono.

Carole

Thanks, Ladies!

And, yes, Lisa, you know it's a winner if you wear asap! Must say I love this Kimono and realize that for me it's sort of like a colorful accessory...a great scarf to wear with my neutral pieces!

Thank you, Angie, for the inspiration and approval ..,and for the PPL counseling!

Looks pretty, I like the print (not too exotic) and the shape (not too voluminous).

Hey -- kimono twin!! It is much longer on me, of course.

I like it because it is viscose which means it will be more breathable than my earlier polyester one.

It looks fabulous on you. Love it with white.

Thanks for adding the find, Suz! I've never been able to get that figured out:(

Yes, yours is much longer! I love it on you! Mine is shorter than probably intended ...I'm ok with that ... any bigger size I would just be swimming in! I love the feel of it, too, and don't even mind when it falls off the shoulder a little!

These are actually a light peach color or perhaps blush chino, but looking forward to wearing white with it too!

Oh, I almost missed this. I think this is perfect as is, Carole! The kimono is a great length, and I love the black and white combination with the pale pink.

Carole

Thanks, Inge! It's hard to tell but the kimono print has great color..black, white, cream, blush, red and blue! I will have fun creating other looks for sure.

Tracey, thank you...I'm finding it's a little like wearing a big fun scarf!

Gorgeous, Carole. The fact that you cut off the tags so swiftly says it all.

Carole

Thanks, Summer:)

Oh my I love this! And here I as thinking I 'don't wear kimonos', now I'm all checking the Aritzia web site, wondering if I can get to a store....see what you (and Suz) have started???

Carole

Veteran

Merwoman...you're funny and I can relate...sounds like my thought process, too! I'd like to see this on you, bet it would be extra fab!!!
