Sorry I've Been Away !

     Hey there fashion lovers ! I admit I'm feeling really guilty about not making time to blog. But between two internships , prom and graduation , I've been a little busy. Finally it's summer and I have a chance to catch my breath. Of course college is coming up soon, ( I can't wait to start) , so the time to relax and just enjoy my free time isn't that long.... But even when I do get busy again I will stay to my blogging. I pinky swear ..sort of.
Anyways let me pick up from where I started , yikes it was spring trends ...
Well let's talk about summer trends.

The trend I want to discuss today is the kimono. If you don't know what that is by definition a kimono - is  a long, loose robe with wide sleeves and tied with a sash, originally worn as a formal garment in Japan and now also used elsewhere as a robe.

In the fashion dictionary it's a long sheer like robe with vibrant prints and maybe some fringe at the bottom, and you will appear to be a "bad bitch who can dress."

I love kimonos they are the perfect thing to just throw on with some shorts , any kind of shorts. I love to wear them with high waisted shorts with a crop top, but I also love them with some shredded shorts too.

Kimonos can also be long like down to you're feet, or short like to you're thigh.

Kimonos usually come in floral prints , Aztec, or just solid sheer colors. Please avoid tacky Aztec prints, such as ones found in Rue 21.

How to dress them up is easy, you can wear some boots for some edge, like little booties or even cowboy boots ( cute cowboy boots ) . You can wear a long necklace or layer lots of chains. Since the arms holes are big wear lots a bracelets to draw attention to your wrists. And if you are really feeling bold grab a hat , a wide brimmed one.

There's a downside to this really cute kimono , they are expensive. Most of them range from 60-80$ . Since I refuse to pay Nasty Gal 88$ (why is Nasty Gal so expensive ?) , I made my own for only 20$. Don't you just love sewing ? I do. Here's some pictures of mine below ! If you want me to make you one just let me know ! Happy blogging !
