KIMONO ON THE BLOCK







Note-To-Self: Fix the grainy texture on my photographs. I am not a fan.
However, the show must go on.
And so, let's move straight onto what's important here - kimono swag.
 
This summer, I have either passed girls sporting kimonos or watched tutorials on kimono DIYs.
At that point, it was apparent that I slap on my thinking cap and place together a look that approached the kimono trend in a new light.
Professional attire.
 
Consisting of light material and of loud patterns, the kimono is the perfect piece to add life to your business-ready look.
Business attire is fairly muted in color schemes and the tailoring is often conventional.
And so, if you are willing to take a risk or perhaps you are attending an event that does not demand much formality, then this combination will be a quick crowd pleaser.
Not to mention, this look is a great way to make a lasting impression.
And who doesn't want that.
 
To bring the kimono into your professional wardrobe, I recommend picking your favorite kimono.
Next, find a solid colored button-up shirt. A neutral color.
Then, find your bottoms. Knee-length pencil skirt or Trousers.
It does not matter.
You simply want to find a bottom piece that defines your shape.
Too much baggage will consume your body.
Finally, accessorize with one strong staple piece.
 
Try it out and tweet/instagram me your look!
