Himeji Kimono

During October 2013, we had Idul Adha. It was also named Idul Qurban. Daddy became one of the committee. Hubby also came home, this time to Semarang. LOT OF MEAT! Mommy made lot of sate kambing and gule. I wouldn't surprise if I gain some weight :hammer:. I also went home and bring one of my kimono ensemble. I love my polkadot kimono so much ^w^ and I paired it with my latest kimono shopping, black synthetic nagoya obi. Previously, I already had two synthetic hanhaba obi. They are slippery and somewhat thicker than my usual silk obi. I was ready with the texture and nature of my new nagoya obi:D. I also complemented the ensemble with my - also newest - kimono spree, the orange obiage and obijime. At first I wanted to wear the ensemble to my date with hubby ^w^, preferably to lunch, dinner or nice strolling. But then daddy appproached me and asked if we could accompany him to the wedding reception his friend had. Mommy wasn't able to attend since she had lecture job that day...

Another way to fold a kimono ;)

These pictorial will show you how to fold a kimono and put it into a tatoushi (kimono paper) .

I have a tendency of buying a yukata, two yukata, three yukata and they will pile up in my cupboard. My kimono will increase in size and quantity. Alas, I will need some space management. Some of my regular clothes cupboard was being replaced by my kimono. With a little push from my friend, I officially established an online little kimono store. Hubby and I named it Himeji Kimono. We sell yukata, obi, acccesories and geta, both imported and or local. We also serve as a rental shop, for year book, photo session, gathering or other occasion. Happy shopping~

Like many other clothes, kimono also has a rank of formality depends on the time, place and occasion. I think I won't wear a pair of jeans to someone wedding or wear a night gown to a night strolling. Even though I aforementioned that, you actually can wear anything you want to wear, as long as you are conscious and keep in mind that kimono is also a culture.
