This summer kimonos have been a huge trend. And frankly I hope they stick around. Kimonos are comfortable, fun and can customize any casual day look. But I find there is a trick to finding the perfect kimono. When things are trending we tend to buy a lot of that item during that period of time. For kimonos I own two, one was gift, the other I wanted to be the one perfect one that matched all my styles. I found this floral skull patterned kimono in an unlikely place, Hot Topic. In my angsty teenage years I shopped there a ton. I haven't purchased buy one get one 1/2 off band tees in a long time, but on a whim decided to go in. I LOVED EVERYTHING (my unexpected reaction). And this kimono was just the beginning of a Hot Topic store raid. Everything in stores was buy one get one half off and I can't wait to go back. They've really stepped up their game!
I paired my kimono with an urban outfitters cropped tank and forever21 destroyed shorts.
Lastly I took some inspiration from my favorite singer, LIGHTS, and wore my combat boots with my shorts. She rocks her boots like no one else. Check her out! New album out September 23rd and two new singles "Up We Go" and "Portal" out now!
