KIMONO AND RIPPED JEANS

I’ll start off with a warning here…..these jeans are not going to be for everyone. You will either love them or hate them. I have gotten looks by people and I know they are thinking, “did this girl actually pay for these ripped jeans?” The answer is yes I actually did. This brings us back to this post where I talked about how I love ripped jeans and I can honestly blame my obsession for them on my mom for not letting me wear them when I was younger. Sorry Mom. I know these jeans aren’t your favorite pair and maybe I’m the only one that likes them, but the moral of this rant is wear what makes you feel good! This is something that plays into my little blogging journey. Everyday I have the same questions and fears. What will people think of this outfit? Does this even look good? Is this too over the top? Is this too ordinary? Bottom line is do you feel good in it? If so then wear it! I’m not saying go out there and look ridiculous but if you have a pair of jeans that make you feel good go ahead and wear them. If you have a bright, bold top flaunt it. Just pair these items with subdued pieces. Don’t always worry about what others will think. Embrace what makes you feel good! This is not news to anyone, but let it serve as a little reminder from me. Reminders are good every once in awhile.

So I did just that when I bought these jeans. I said what the heck. I love them and I’m keeping them. I am a grown woman and I can wear what I want. Sorry again Mom! I was pretty excited to pair them with this kimono. Kimonos are one of my favorite pieces to wear. They can be worn casual with flats as shown here or you can wear them to work paired with leggings and wedges. You can wear them as coverups for the pool or beach. So many options with kimonos. If you don’t have at least one in your closet yet go out and get one! You’ll get a ton of mileage out of it.

I will wrap today’s post up with a big thank you for those of you who are following me on Instagram and entered the Iphone and camera giveaway.
