Kimono: A Summer Into Fall Staple

Now is the time of the season when I am over the heat of the summer and dressing for humidity and hotness and getting excited about cooler temps of fall. We still have many more weeks of wamer temps left but with the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale everyone has fall on their mind and in their shopping carts.

I went to Nordstrom the other day to check out what goodies they had on sale in the store and ended up passing over all sale items for this amazing kimono. As you all have probably gathered by now color or pattern arent typically my thing but every now and then I stumble upon a piece both colorful and big patterned and its love at first site. Thats what happened with this guy. I plan on sporting it for the next couple weeks/months/years depending on our weather just like this.

Besides the versatility of a kimono another thing that I love about them is that they are really good at hiding that baby weight I havent been able to lose in years. Throw a kimono on and instantly feel 15# lighter. In regards to sizing, I actually tried on a large which is what I normally wear and ended up sizing down and loving the fit.

Once those temperatures start getting a little cooler, I plan rock this kimono with some of my favorite jeans , tshirt and closed toed shoes (clearly not pictured here yet). It’s flowly enough to put a light sweater under as well.
