Outfit Snap: Raspberry Striped Wool Kimono

I still had the kimono bug today, and was feeling extremely bored and had nothing to do. So I coordinated another outfit and wore it ^_^

Today, the weather is rather rainy and quite cold, so the outfit kind of reflects how I feel, or rather, how I want to feel - warm. This kimono is another wool one from RyuJapan's website, which I'd bought a while ago. There are little horizontal black stripes on it, so for that "warm" effect, I decided to use black as my main colour for all accessories.

Once again, I pulled out my black parrot obi. I made a black han'eri out of some random black cloth lying about my room, and wore black tabi to match. The obiage is dark green to reflect the green stripes, and the obijime is mustard yellow (for the yellow stripes) and pink (for the kimono). There is supposed to be an obidome, coz this obijime is too short, but I can't find my box of obidome... :/ My geta and bag are also mustard yellow.

Btw, the seasonality of everything is just plain weird. I think the outfit looks very autumn-y, but I'm using a ro juban for comfort's sake, and a ro obiage cos it was the only one with the right colour. Let's just ignore those seasonality mistakes for now ^^;;;

There was supposed to be an obidome in the front, but I couldn't find my obidome box... x_x"""

This obi is actually too short for me, so I tried using an obi aid. It turned out alright, I guess.

Because I used an obi aid, I had a different way of tying the obi, so I'm showing a different motif on the front, compared to the last time I wore this obi.

I promised someone I'd put on an apron the next time I wore kimono, but forgot yesterday, so today I put one on ^^

Thanks for looking! ^_^
