kimono game

Kimonos.  They’re the easy, breezy, boho cousin to a cardigan sweater.

Not only that, but if you wear one, teenagers will maybe possibly definitely look at you and say, I hope I’m a cool mom like that one day.

And you will smile benignly at them and reply with something like, #goals, #kimonogamestrong. Because teenagers love it when you verbally hashtag everything.

(No.)

But aside from all of those excellent reasons to rock a kimono this summer, you will no longer freeze your lady bits off when you go to the movies/a restaurant/or any indoor location where the air conditioning has been set to a brisk 52 degrees.  And here you thought it was summer and you could enjoy a tank top.

Now, because I love you, readers, here are my top 3 ways to style a kimono this summer:

1.  With a simple tee and some skinny jeans.  Boom.

2.  With your denim shorts, ankle booties, and a graphic tee.  Double boom.

3.  Over your bathing suit at the pool.  (Because why the heck not?) And no, I don’t have any photos of THAT, because ain’t nobody wanna throw up on their computer this morning.

These are a few of my current favorite kimonos:

And here’s the best part:  you will be able to selfie on instagram #likeaboss.

Because, #kimonogamestrong.

Until next time,
