Happy Wednesday!!! Well the day has come and I am headed home after my extended stay in Nashville. I am actually ready to get home, see the hubs and do some cooking. But first I’ve got to share a little with you, my people. Long live the kimono!
Kimonos have been around for a few years and from the looks of things, they aren’t going anywhere any time soon. I won this one from Rodan + Fields in a Rachel Zoe subscription box last year.
I’ve always been drawn to the tropical print on kimonos and so this one thrilled me.
I like that it has sleeves versus slits, but either style is cute. I also like how I have the option to tie the front of this one if I wanted.
When you have a kimono like this one, a white column is all that’s needed for the base. The kimono itself is the star. I wore my favorite white jeans from Loft and a white cami. This one would be equally great as a beach cover up.
I added my makeup color Tory Burch Millers and I was good to go. These sandals are truly and investment, but I can attest to them being the perfect, most versatile shoe. I brought another pair of sandals on my trip, but I wore these every day. That’s what I’d call a workhorse.
I’ve worn my new Victoria Emerson cuff most days since getting it too. I adore the way it looks like a stack of bracelets, but it’s really only one. The magnetic closure makes putting it on and taking it off a breeze.
I found a couple of this exact kimono to link, but I also am linking some cheaper options. So tell me, are you a fan of the kimono?

If I want a “three part look” then a kimono is a great option for summer. But to be honest, I’d rather reach for a cute top than a kimono. I just don’t find them a lot of fun to wear. I bought three (all prints I adore) at the beginning of summer and I can just about guarantee that come cooler temps, they’ll be in the donation bag.
Lisa Richardson says
They definitely aren’t for everyone. I don’t wear them a lot either, but this one is pretty!

Laura says

Laura says
I have a few kimonos but no long ones like this! It’s so beautiful on you! Seriously cute with your monochromatic white look!
Lisa Richardson says
Aw, thanks so much Laura!!!

Kim Malkiewicz says
I like this one because it’s more of a duster that I would wear. Safe travels!
Lisa Richardson says
Yes, exactly. I like that it has a little more structure.
