Personal Style | Styling a Kimono and a Dress…Again

July 6, 2016 by Whitney 23 Comments

One wardrobe item that will forever have a place in my closet is the kimono. I absolutely love styling them all year! My collection of kimonos are the most versatile and easy to wear pieces in my closet. They’re perfect to throw on over a sleeveless dress, which is exactly how I styled the kimono in today’s outfit. I had a feeling I’d get cold during a night out with hubs, so I grabbed one of my favorite kimonos and my outfit was complete!

It’s no wonder my love for kimonos runs deep; I’m such a fan of lightweight, no-fuss and flowy clothing, especially during the warmer months. I usually thrift them, but there are times I find quality and unique ones at department stores. I purchased this one at Nordstrom Rack a while back and since then, I’ve seen them sold pretty much everywhere.  Chances are if you’re on the hunt for a kimono this season, you’ll definitely find one!

    I totally agree with you. I think one of the best things about them are they are lightweight yet still great coverage. I always need something when I go to an appointment or store since the A/C is quite cold!
    The print of your kimono is stunning!

    Believe it or not, I am still looking for a kimono that I like and would work in my wardrobe. I have a few solid color dresses and a pop of color from a kimono would be perfect. Looking good sis!

    You have a real knack for pairing kimonos with great looks. This one paired with this mustard dress is the bomb!
