Sheer Length.

IMG_9805
I picked up this long, sheer kimono at a sample sale and find it a great thing to toss in my bag when packing.  It can make shorts and a tank look much more put together while also covering your skin from the sun or the wind that can sneak in.  I grabbed this kimono on the way to Golden Gate Park and was ready for the day.

I love the stitch lining!

I didn’t even realize it was sheer until I held it up to the light.

I may be obsessed with kimonos these days but they are the perfect summer piece to keep in your closet!

Kimono Summer.

It’s safe to say that I LOVE Kimonos.  My obsession started with floral kimonos but when I found this simple black lace kimono from Nasty Gal, I just knew it was the one for me.  I love to stay covered in the sun as much as possible and with the sheer layer of this kimono I feel like I can enjoy the sun and the breeze.

I love all the detailing on it.  However, beware it randomly catches on door knobs and random things every now and then.  I have to be careful because I don’t want it to tear!

I’m a simple girl so I wear it over tanks and also as a swimsuit cover up.  It’s the perfect addition to simplicity because it’s details carry the rest.

What’s your summer kimono look like?!

Into the Blue.

IMG_3179My mom gave me this maxi (from Nordstrom’s BP) for my birthday and I just love it.  It’s the right amount of sheer, the right length, and best of all the right shades of blue.  It reminds me that summer is here and makes it easy to dress up in a pinch for any occasion.  I paired it with some simple silver Steve Madden jeweled sandals and a wrap bracelet but you can really get away with a lot.

Hope you all are spending some time outside this summer, the daylight hours are too good to waste 🙂
