{ kimono kollective }

lately, my designing daydreams keep coming back to glamourwraps (now also: obi belts!)! therefore, i thought it would be fun to showcase a random smattering of snaps from my 'krafty kimonos' inspiration file:

I love kimonos. I bought a red one with a floral print in a thrift store years ago. I would like to have a proper obi belt to wear with it. Perhaps I'll try to make one.

I am pretty obsessed with kimonos too! Every since I saw Carrie wear one on Sex and the City years ago:)

Oohhh I love this post! The red kimono is beautiful... Reminds me of one I found hiding in the back of a closet, which is sadly short, but wonderful all the same...
