Kimodigan: Lace Kimono, Sequin Top, Boyfriend Shorts And Leopard Slip-on Sneakers

04.22.2014

Written by debbies

I’m on a made up word streak lately. How do you like “kimodigan”? This isn’t really a kimono, nor is it a cardigan. Sort of a hybrid between the two, therefore a kimodigan. I’m not gonna lie. I don’t love this one as much as I thought I would when I bought it, even though it was an in store purchase and I tried it on first. I love lace, so there’s that, but it doesn’t have that drapiness that I love. Maybe if I wash it a few times? And skip the dryer..haha! I’m thinking next time I’ll throw it over a plain white tank and see what happens…

Linking up with: Style Sessions Fashion Link Up, Trend Spin Link Up, and Stylish Tuesday.

Kimono: Forever 21 (Purchased in-store); Top: Ebay; Shorts: JCPenney (Old); Shoes: Tilly’s (No longer available)

So I wonder if the reason you may not love it as much as you thought is because of that square cut of the “front flap” which makes it more cardi-esque (as opposed to the drapey, asymmetrical cut I associate with kimonos)? Gods, it’s late, but I think that statement made sense. ;p Anyhoo, I’m still digging the pairing of lace and leopard and sequins so you rock that kimodigan, girl! And yes, try a quick spin in gentle cycle to try to soften up the fabric. You may even consider blocking it, depending on the yarn fabric. But as… Read more »

Ya know, I think you could be on to something…it may well be the cut. That and the not so soft fabric. You little smarty pants! Ha! I like all 3 linkups…Stylish Tuesday is the most welcoming, Style Sessions is probably the largest of the three, and I don’t always do Trend Spin Linkup only because there’s always a theme and I’m kind of a dress on a whim girl and don’t usually plan what I’m wearing too far in advance.How do you stay up late on a school night?! I’m a big baby…I have to go to bed early… Read more »

I’m on PST, remember? 😉 I usually go to bed at least by midnight; after 9pm is my time, when both my kiddos and my early-riser husband are in bed. That’s when I get a lot of my blogging done.

Thanks for the linkup tips. I’ve decided I need ’em to be vetted by someone I know before I blithely join in. I’ll participate in all three this week and see which suits my fancy.

I keep eyeing those sneaks and I cannot decide if I want something like that or new chuck taylors ( ohhh the decisions). I like your look but I am wondering if maybe a more colourful cami or t under the lace would make you love it more?
