Kimonos!

Hello all!

Today while deciding what to feature this week for our "Share Your Wares" promotion, I decided to focus on vintage kimonos. Then I started thinking about them, and thought gosh, I bet a lot of people really don't know how to wear them or what the heck to do with them.

Not only can you wear them as a simple robe, you can easily incorporate a kimono into your wardrobe. You can wear them with vintage certainly, but they also look just fantastic with a pair of 7 jeans and some hot high heeled boots for a unique evening look. Sometimes just adding one fantastic piece of vintage to your contemporary fashions really ups the ante - making a very unique statement that no one else will have.

I did a search on Main Street for some unique kimonos, here's what I found.

A lot of the times it's hard to find a vintage kimono in excellent condition - after all, these were pieces of clothing that were definitely every day wear. Alterations can be easy, and as well, they are simply gorgeous framed in your living room.
