one crested ro silk houmongi.I have no idea what flowers they are.
If some one knows... please let me know ^_^
This kimono has been in my collection a very long time, but I never dressed in it, so I felt is was time. Besides, according to the "kimono calendar" there are only four days left for usumono.
Technically from the 20est a hitoe obi is preferred to an usumono, but I do not agree I might have when it's kind of cold. But it is not. And, if it would have been kind of cold, I would wear hitoe. Also, these rules are not that strict, but it is nice to keep some colour sense, autumnal colours for autumn etc.
But now it is still
summer.I think purple is quite nice for late summer. As it is still kind of fresh, but with a warm tone in it.
The obi is ro silk burgundy, or more whine red. Adding more deep colour-tones.
A light obi-jime to lighten the whole a bit.
Light blue obi-age from the flowers.
Lace tabi again and purple zori.

Is that the burgundy hakata obi? Oh, that is one of my favorites of your collection. I want one too, but I'm keeping a low profile in buying for now.... eco-crisis and stuff ^_~
I love the combination of lilac and deep red together. Your blog is wonderful, you have a great sense of style.
May I link to you on my kimono blog?

yes it is burgundy ro hakata, I love it too. I have looked in Japan if I could find one like it for you, but sadly, no success.
