Thrifted Outfit // Kimono + Vintage Levis Jeans

Kept it simple in tank and vintage Levi's for the debut of my self made kimono. We're having some chilly mornings and nights and I needed something to give me a little bit of warmth and could also easily fold up in purse during the day. The large sleeves of a kimono also offer extra room to add multiple layers when the temperature does dip low this winter.

I don't dress according to silly rules like no white after Labor Day. I grabbed this tank top because I was looking for simplicity on a Sunday. It's as basic as you can get.

Vintage Levi's are as basic as they come too. I love them for the high waist goodness and fullness at the thighs.  Jeans today stretch over the thighs but vintage jeans actually have thigh room. Feels good.

I kept to a very neutral color palette with my accessory choices. I wanted to save all my vibrant color for the kimono so I wore black pumps that go with everything. They also give me some added height to balance the length of my kimono.

I dug out a scarf that was buried underneath a bunch of stuff and hasn't been seen in three years. How'd I let that happen? It's so soft and works perfectly as a head wrap.  The earrings are beautiful, classic and handmade just like the choker necklace I made last week.

Now we return to the kimono that I am loving so much. The purples and greens go together in an unconventional way all mixed up in a beautiful hand stamped print. I'll definitely be enjoying this one for the rest of year.
