How to Style a Kimono for Fall
Guess what, guys! Your favorite trend from the summer can be worn right on into fall. We all fell in love with kimonos, or, more specifically, kimono cardigans, this summer. We wore them with cut offs, we wore them as swimsuit coverups, we wore them as robes (probably. I wouldn’t know anything about that). Just when you thought that you were going to need to box these babies up, you learn how to style your kimono for fall. The key? For one, fall colors. But that doesn’t mean that florals are out. The maroon and navy in this one just say fall to me. I have a floppy fedora hat that matches the maroon perfectly, but I’ll be honest, it’s still way too hot for me to go full on fall. On cooler days though, a hat would be a great addition to this look. Other items that are sure to give you a perfect kimono-inspired fall pairing include: booties (duh!), denim, and fringe! Use these tips and you will achieve fall perfection every. single. time.
Now for more fun! I recently broke 1,000 followers on Instagram. This is peanuts to many, but it took me a while to get there. Now I’m approaching 2,000 and, as a way to say thanks to all my iggy followers, I’m bringing you all a giveaway. I’m teaming up with leMel Designs, an adorable online jewelry boutique, to give one of my fabulous followers this adorable Circle Druzy Necklace. leMel is founded by sisters Mel and Jenn (read their cute bio!) and has an amazing selection of beautiful, natural stone jewelry (druzy fans rejoice!). I am seriously in LOVE with their jewelry and am so excited to share one of their pieces.
