Kimono Style
Kimono styles are in this spring for flirty tops or dresses. The sleek Phoebe Couture Kimono Dress ($250 at Neiman Marcus) looks fresh with it's mix of prints, but sophisticated for a stylish night on the town.
Here are more kimono looks:
T-Bags Kimono Dress ($176 at Neiman Marcus)
Alice + Olivia Kimono Knit Dress ($352 at Shopbop)
Lux Floral Kimono Dress ($58 at Urban Outfitters)
Lux Deep V Printed Kimono Top ($42 at Urban Outfitters)
Garden City Tie-Back ($88 at Anthropologie)
Fern Kimono Top ($17.80 at Forever 21)




I like kimono-inspired clothes, but don't like how the front overlaps (right on left). The right side over the left in Japan is the way a kimono is worn on a dead person or ghost. The correct way to wear it for a living person is left over right. Call it superstition, but I thought that if one were to design clothes inspired by other's culture, at least one should get it right.

I love kimono items. They are so 1920s (or Pretty in Pink if your in that mood).lol
