I think 4th of july was my first venture out in kimono or in this case Yukata.
What better reason was there to go out in Yukata than to go see Fireworks!?
Unfortunatly i did not yet own a lot of Kimono pieces,
I Only had a Yukata my Aunt Had given me
while i was in Okinawa Last time .
So i had to wear "faux american platform geta"
and i had to borrow an obi from Lyuba
Lyuba of course looks Fabulous & Coordinated!
she tied me a really cute bow!
We met up with Joseph and some of his friends
to watch the fireworks show
the cruddy faux geta gave me terrible blisters on my feet
so i had to improvise bandaids with
my hair ties and some paper napkins LOL
Lyuba is the Queen of the Pose
trying to get shots of the fireworks.
I know i have pics and vids somewhere
and the show ended and we had a lot of fun!
On another day we all decided to wear Yukata
& Take pictures in April's Backyard,
since her parents had a Pretty Koi Pond
I decided to wear my Yukata again, and this time
wore my Hanhaba obi i also bought in okinawa
But i realized , from these pics, i really needed
to wear properUndergarments to flatten, it just
looks better when there is no boobage LOL
but these shots still were very pretty ^__^
i finally got proper Geta shoes to wear as well
from a local asian shop lyuba took me to
My favorite pretty Lilac Peacock fan.
it smells like lavender
April & Chi
So KYOOT!
Pretteh Koi
Lyuba even painted her toes to match! ^_^
One of my favorite shots of Lyuba
the light just made her glow
so much fun was had we went out to eat afterwards!
It became kind of a Tradition to eat out Asian after goiing out in Kimono or Yukata! ^__^
Here's a few more shots of us, but in Kimono this time!
I actually Cannot Recall the occasion for it,
but then again, we would dress up
for any reason at all LOL
This was in September
April started to wear her now Trademark Furisode.
She looks So Lovely in them, they suit her so well
This Kimono my Mother Gave me from her secret Collection.
It Became my First Official Kimono in my Collection
I Believe this to be an Okinawan Kimono,
Due to the Pattern and rounded sleeves.
I Love it so much now!
I Finally Aquired an obi of my own and some other essential pieces
The obi matches, but unfortunately it's too short on me
for the pattern on the drum to be centered
By this time i had started to wear my hair up properly
and began my trademark of wearing lots of
flowers and decorations in my hair.
I also started to wear makeup more regularly with kimono
Some Various Kimono Outing shots of Lyuba
(since she didn't wear kimono in the previous shots):
I love her outfits!
This outing i cannot remember what it was for,
but i remember we purposfully
all wore Orange colors to match
Lyuba got me am Awesome Shi-sa Obi!
Thus sparking my obsession to collecting Shi-sa Kimono Items!
It is my Namesake after all!
I Love Shi-sa sooo much and my name means Love
so: Shi-sa Ai ^__^!
the only thing i don't like about my outfit here
is that i wore GETA with kimono!
Augh! but at the time i didn't own any Zori!
And i wasn't about to wear my blister shoes LOL
I Will Update with more pics tomorrow
