New obi


^ ^ I just love this obi that I just won. I'm not sure if I have a kimono to go with this obi. I thought I wouldn't win it either but i'm rather happy.

Kimono Hime volume 9









Here are some pictures of some of my favorite kimono outfits. I had to take pictures due to the main computer being down and my laptop not being hooked up to the scanner. Sorry about the quality of some of the pictures. Though I hope you guys enjoy. ^ ^

Wanted cute Haori

So lately I've been thinking that i should get some cute haori because I don't have any and I've been inspired by Kimono Hime volume 9. I love vintage pieces and I think buying may be out of question but maybe trading?
I have some kimono items that I don't want or just aren't wearable for me (too small and needs to be restitched because the thread snapped in the back but other wise in great condition). I will post pictures later of the items up for trade.
Side note found some cute haori on ebay that i like:
