I finally bought a Yukata outfit!!! I really haven't had the funds to buy kimono lately but on my trip to LA I made an exception. Me and Adam visited Little Tokyo and it was our first time down here. At first I could not find any shops with real kimono and I was loosing hope but then we passed this shop that had film all over the windows. It was hard to see in the shop but I could make out a table filled with Geta. It peeked my interest enough to go in and I must say I'm thrilled I did! From the outside the shop appeared to be tiny but once with in it was huge. One of the biggest kimono shops I have ever been in. They had a good selection of yukata and I was thankful! I've been on a mission for one since The San Jose Festival incident with the massive nose bleed. I had bought a pair of geta for $11.99 at another small shop. They where a steal cute and a size 10 not to mention comfy.
At the shop they had a ton of cute yukata but I didn't want the ultra cute young looking ones since my 25th birthday is coming up I wanted a yukata that is cute but mature. I think I hit that mark. They also have prettied obi and since I've never had one I decided to give it a shot. I bought tis cute flower patterned obi it's actually a darker red in person.
^ ^ Adam approved which made me very happy and commented on my good purchase. I have yet to wear it and I can't wait for it to get warmer so I can break this cutie in. <3 p="">3>
