3 Ways to Style a Kimono
Posted on: June 5, 2014
I began adding Kimonos to my style last year
and Added a few more this season…
Of course the first way to wear it would be to just leave it long and flowing…
This Kimono is from F21 and here’s a link to what they currently have to offer.
I came across this way of wearing one one day while watching Susan Graver on QVC.
You just go a little under you bustline and gather two small pieces and make a knot,..If the bottom is uneven just pull the shorter bottom and it releases a little in the knot area.
This is just taking the bottom ends and tying it up at the waist..
This is great to show off a little more of the foundation tank top…
I love switching up how I wear a kimono and how versatile they are…
They look great with dresses and skirts, too!
For today, this is how I chose to wear it!
Dear readers, have you tried kimonos, yet? Do you wear toppers in Summer?

Gratitude
I am grateful for a wonderful talk with my dear friend today, it always seems like our lives mirror each other, when we struggle with something , so it the other, when things are working well with one same with the other…It’s uncanny!
I am grateful that my dear son and I went grocery shopping together, I’ll take any time with him before he goes away to college in the Fall!
I am grateful for tight hugs from my husband!
I am grateful for frozen meatballs , so I didn’t have to make my own, but could fulfill the wishes of my children for meatball subs… Some days a mom just loves convience!
I am grateful for weekend plans with friends to unwind and enjoy time with my husband!
How about this for a Coping Strategy?

Something my yoga teacher showed us this week. When you are angry, frustrated or annoyed:
– Breath in and say: “How can this…..”
– Breath out and say: “……be funny? “.
– And think about the situation that way.
Have a Wonderful Weekend!!!!

I really love how you’ve tied the kimono in 2nd picture. I’ve never seen it done that way and it looks great. I had one kimono and donated it about a year ago. Darn. Now I wish I had it to try out that tying technique.
