As a teenager I always liked wearing tighter, skimpier clothes (much to my mothers despair) as I was fortunate enough to have a slim figure that now I wish I had appreciated more. However due to my increasing love for food, the unfortunate slowing down of my metabolism and the stressful year I have had as a third year student that has resulted in the abundance of fast food consumption, this summer my figure has been at its worst and my self esteem is at the lowest. By no means do I class myself as fat but I do need to shape up and I am determined to do so.
But in the mean while we are now smack bang in the middle of summer which means short shorts, crop tops and bikinis, all things I love but no longer feel comfortable to wear. That was until I realised the beauty of kimonos! So far I only have three but I will definitely will be purchasing more! Here is a little look book of the different kimonos I wore!

Unfortunately I didn't get a full length picture of me wearing this on holiday with a bikini but below you can see me wearing it in Brighton on a separate occasion I never got round to blogging about. I love the colours of this kimono and the silky feel it has which makes in light comfortable wear no matter how hot the weather is!

This kimono is more versatile being black and chiffon meaning that it can be both a modest summery addition or to help an a dress up an outfit for the evening

"The neck is kind of what's sexy in Japan, so you have to have the kimono a little bit back. It was just a whole different way of appealing to what was sexy" - Lucy Liu Quotes
Those kimonos look great! I also really like the skirt you were wearing.

Kimonos are great, easy to throw on and fashionable. What is not to love?
