kimonos

Have you seen all the women's kimonos in stores this fall? At first, I was a bit unsure of this trend. Yes, all the super fashion-forward fashion bloggers were rocking them, but could I? I was uncertain for two reasons. First, I'm not stick straight or thin. I'm a curvy girl with fuller and wider hips. I was worried a kimono would overwhelm my frame. I tend to look better in figure-hugging dresses that pull away at the hips. I also tend to wear tighter things on top because I don't want to add bulk. The other reason I was so unsure about the kimono is that the longer length made me anxious. I tend to look the best in items that hit at or above my knee. The longer length could have the potential to weigh me down. Despite my hesitation, when I saw one of my favorite Instagram mommies rocking it, I thought it was at least worth a try. Once the kimono arrived, I tried it on with a dress and with jeans and heels. I opted to style it with jeans because it is such an easy piece to throw on. It also looked super cute with a shorter black dress underneath, if I want to dress up the look. I chose to wear heels with jeans because I wanted to accentuate the fun detail on the jeans. I do think flat boots, especially with pointy toes, would have worked well too. {Stacey's Look: Kimono, Jeans, Heels, Necklace} This floral kimono is one of my favorite items for fall. I'm also excited that it will function perfectly as a coverup next summer. I'm toying with the idea of adding a belt and styling it more like a dress with black leggings underneath for a more dressed-up look. The versatility of women's kimonos is what makes them such a fun trend to try for fall. In case you want to try a kimono yourself, you can find mine at Gather and Bloom. I've also pulled some of my favorites below (just click on the picture). Women's Kimonos for Fall
