Kimono 着物

When I hear the word kimono I can't help but think about Mulan. So when I heard about all these 'kimonos' becoming a thing in some of my favorite stores, I got super excited because I love Mulan! These kimonos are obviously not traditional and have more of a modern twist. I see it more as an accessory and it adds a little dazzle to any simple outfit. I paired it with some high waisted denim shorts, a black sweater crop top, some simple jewelry, and my favorite black cutout boots. Take a look!

Crop top: Forever 21

  4. Anonymous: Yea, it is no where near the traditional kimono which is worn by Japanese women. But today, stores such as Forever 21, Urban Outfitters, Nasty Gal, Asos, etc. adopted the word kimono and used it for what they think is the modern day kimono. It wasn't something I made up but thank you for your concern!
