Crazy kitsuke session

Forgive not too much proffessional pics. It`s the first attempt to put up kimono in not so much formal and classic way as so far in my kitsuke adventure.
Inspired by some cute poses from the site  I've tried to follow crazy idea to use kimono in funny way:)
Love tsumugi komon kimono, I hope to have much more chance for funny outfit using these versatile kimono.

Busy winter evening in kimono

I often cooperate with local Cultural Centre at my neighborhood and this time they invited me to prepare Japanese evening. I was telling about my kimono passion and about secrets of Karyukai, next I showed how to put a kimoo of course:)

Cause of great frost and  severe winter weather outside I decided to wear my soft grey chirimen komon with lovely frozen flowers motif. To warm up the look I used my deep rose fukuro obi and  played with obijime shape creating rose flower with a handmade brooch.
I think the audience were glad and I am happy taking experience based on by best passion even if showing kitsuke on model was tough job.

Tsumugi awase

I really  like tsumugi silk. It is so versatile and durable. I`ve finally found something interesting for my only one tsumugi kimono for neat and interesting ensemble. Lovely metallic ochre yellow and brown fukuro obi is perfect and the most beautiful subdued obijime I`ve ever had, newest purchase from ebay.
Putting on this kimono is real challange for me, it`s too long to skip ohashiori fold and too short to do it perfectly, uffff. I wasted about 1.5 hour to do it more or less as I like it:P

Frozen flowers komon

This soft chirimen komon was waiting about year to be used. I was looking for something lavender for this kimono but hopelessly. And finally I`ve got idea to use it as something almost transparent to give soft background for this deep rose and grass green combination.

It`s ages since I`ve shown something from my tansu. I`m so busy and have no time for simple joy of coordinating, taking on and putting off kimono.

But finally I`ve got motivation - tommorow I`m going for  Japanese week  opening in our town. So it`s lovely occassion for kimono. I had to practice cause I was worry if I can do it properly yet. 

Now I can see that this yuban isn`t the best choice:P But who cares....

too much pink....

Finally, finally went through pretty pictures in a kimono, because my husband needed a model to make proof to another proffesional session palm house, I was objekte under some important test session.

Lady in  cashboard certainly  saw many strange people in her window, dozens of pairs of newlyweds, families  etc., but woman in pink kimono probably not ... :)

According to strict  Kitsuke  rules set below  isn`t a flawless, but it requires effort impeccability, and not one pair of sandals zori to support each ensemble.
