I’ve thought about this before, but forgot about it until I was mowing the yard this weekend. At what point in our lives do dandelions stop being pretty flowers and become weeds? I know, my mind works in peculiar ways; but think about it for a minute. If you have kids or if you ever were a kid, you know what I’m talking about. I can’t tell you how many wilty little bouquets I used to get, sometimes with roots and leaves attached. I would oooh and aaahh and place them in water for us to admire and all the while that little face would be beaming because, “Look mommy, I got you flowers!” And I did the same for my mom when I was little. So when exactly did it occur to me that no, they aren’t pretty flowers they are annoying weeds that left unchecked will take over the entire yard? Does it happen as a result of simply growing up, or is it a touch of cynicism as our view of the world changes because we woke up one day and reality hit us in the face? Just something to think about. You know, because you needed something deep and philosophical to mull over on a Monday.
I have to say, this floral kimono still holds the number one spot in my rather extensive kimono collection (in my opinion, anything over two is a collection). The colors are so vibrant and it looks good with so many things. This is my favorite way to wear it though. I like the hit of pretty girliness it brings to denim, particularly boyfriend jeans. Fashion laws seem to dictate that if you’re going loose and slouchy on the top you should go streamlined on the bottom and vice versa. But you know my thoughts on rules. I think if either the top or bottom is slouchy without being bulky (sort of drapey I suppose) then you can pair two looser fitting pieces together.
