Obi box of doom: orange/white odori kimono

So the massively huge obi box of doom arrive from Naomi. And boy was it heavy And from it is going to be many posts of the almost perfect pairings! Starting with my Odori kimono that got paired with a orange and white waterwave obi This kimono is very plasticy, polyester, obviously an  odori kimono I love how the waves line up with the hem and obi The back, Obi is beautiful!   I'm so happy I won this! and my many others. Soon they will all be photographed and cleaned up and ready to be worn ^^ expect more blogimations soon

kimono choo cho train!

 I know it's been awhile since I posted anything. I do apologize. I just finished a great book called "The Bride's Kimono" requires a tad but of kimono knowledge but nothing too serious you'd miss if you don't know about ikat patterns or what an uchikake is (BTW I have a picture of mine in this post) So I knocked out Evelyn and dressed her up with some of my new acquisitions. First is a ro purple/yellow striped kimono, with an edo-esque hanhaba with my over coat I plan to use with my kimono.  I forget the name of these flowers, but it's so light looking fresh and I waited 2 months before buying it. So I finally did and am so happy about it. This kimono was also a soft freshness, but it also had this slight punk feel to it. The sayagata and asanoha patterns in the black flowers was a final touch that was needed. I teamed it with my asanoha hot pink obi. This one is gonna be something I need to tweak to perfection. Alas, my Rebel alliance inspired...
