ShiShi

OK I am working... ahum. Well, I should, but it is Saturday... I am really tired and for some reason these pictures I took for my boss aren't working for me... I can't get them right, it drives me nuts!
Never mind. I decided I could wear kimono while working behind my laptop... so... I changed in my party kimono and paired her with my new very special embroidered Shishi lion obi.

Maybe now everything is a bit over the top... roses on my kimono and roses on my obi... but I love it. I love this obi... the kimono I just saw is a bit more damaged then I remembered which is a shame, but she is cute!
For some reason I think now this obi would look better on the woven kimono I wore last time... could be. The blue of the lion looks like the blue of the kimono... or on a nice striped puple-ish blue kimono.... swoon...

Working in kimono

It was fun.
I wore my woven blue kimono with chrysanthemum, yes I know fall pattern... and paired it with my painted pinkish/purpelish soft obi, and hazy purple accessories, and I went for a soft old fashioned style musubi... a bit weird, but OK for the occasion.
My little friend is wearing a hanten with sake barrel, so I guess it's a sake sales man hanten (we had lots!) and he wanted an obi so I wrapped him in the jacket and folded a ladies hanhabba and used that as an obi for him. He was a big success, doing the catering in his sake hanten. And the two of us had fun, a lot of fun ^_^
