Today’s style round-up includes looks from 8 of my kimono rocking insta-friends/40+ bloggers, here to inspire you to dust off your kimono and try something new. I love how Andy of Pearls and Pantsuits dressed up her graphic tee and jean look by adding a leopard print kimono. Emma of The Style Splash got creative with pieces in her closet; styling a swimsuit coverup back to her bold pink trousers, for a sophisticated summer look, and Nancy of Nancy’s Fashion Style repurposed a wrap dress as a kimono. By the end of today’s post, you’ll see there are endless ways to wear a kimono. I’ve found the key to discovering true ‘kimono love’, is finding that perfect print and style that speaks to you. Fabrication, print, and style matter, so take the time to find a piece that is truly “you”.
Today’s post includes a link-up, meaning there’s even more style to browse! I invite you to link up YOUR blog posts and outfits at the bottom of today’s post. Share whatever you like, be a part of the community, get your looks and links featured on 9 blogs around the globe and browse all the good vibes and inspiration from the Blogosphere in today’s Link-Up Party.
I find myself wearing kimonos now more than ever, as a replacement to my trusty jean jacket or long cardigan. Over the past few months, I’ve added 3 to my collection. Here’s a look at how I styled 4 very different pieces, over this past month.

Your pattern mixing is on point suzanne! Such a creative way to use your kimono! I enjoy these collaborations so much…I always learn so much…
Thank you Andy! I have been watching videos on how to get the pattern matching game down, I find it super interesting. Once you get it figured out, it opens up all sorts of possibilities to create with items in your closet, ones you may have never thought to wear together. Thanks for stopping by! xx Suzanne
