Rainy day kitsuke

well yesterday was yucky and gray... but i just had to get in kimono and feel pretty. This was my second kitsuke in  two days which is more kitsuke then usual for me. So i broke out my IG Prize and put on the main peices... as in the kimono, the obi, the obijime, and the obiage. being still quite warm here in Texas i wore my hitoe juban (if i had a Ro juban i'm sure it would get much love). Texas has a longer and hotter summer then japan (i think any way by their awase- hitoe- ro/sha calendar) so i may not be able to wear awase much untill  mid october...

oh well thats enough gripeing! so here are some lovely kimono pics!

I must say, thease are some of my favorite kimono pics so far. I look cute, the kimono looks neat... my 1+ years of self teaching have paid off! thank you for the support every one! (though i mostly get support from the stats... i wish more people commented...)

My beautiful new obi!

Ok so some time ago i won a beautiful obi off of e-bay (like i have been doing). I just could not resist this beautiful one... It is pretty much good for all seasons... So far what i can idenify is Ume,

Chrysanthemum, Tachibana(i think, i am pretty sure), pine, peony, and of course the birds that i have no clue what they are. It is stunning so i must show you all just how stunning it is with thease pics!

Yipppeeeee! XD

I just won a Red kimono! (while i stole it from under some ones nose-sorry person i do not know- i am very happy) It is compleatly red with little lighter gradient effects but looks really good! I plan to pair it with a Sky/light blue obi and some green accessories! It should look pretty good! XD
