Spring Fashion Trend: KIMONOS

Time to swap out beloved cardigans and move onto a lighter layering option for spring and summer! The kimono is a perfect, stylish option for your spring/summer time look. Not only is it comfy and unique, it is also versatile. Wear it over a crop top, with jeans, with shorts, over a body con dress, or even as a swim suit cover up. The kimono makes as a great statement piece this season.

I encountered quite a few at Forever 21 and found this gem-- love at first sight.

Beautiful, isn't it? The print is so vibrant, and the light material makes it PERFECT for summer. I wore this today in 90 degree Florida weather and actually felt comfortable! 

I also found a black and white one with a cropped back-- I love that, because it highlights my waist and gives a bit of a funky edge to the look. Can't wait to wear it!

I went shopping with my boyfriend the other day, and each time we go shopping I realize we have VERY different taste when it comes to style. As soon as I found this necklace I kinda fell in love. Look at the cute kitty! The pearls, the roses! It was on sale, plus I had a coupon that would bring it down to just $20--huge bargain at MSRP of $68. 

So, I asked "Yay or nay?" and it a was a big nay from him. My favorite comment from when he was trying to persuade me out of it was, "You don't even know that cat!". He makes me smile. :)

I think his taste is a bit more sophisticated and minimalist, so to him this might have seemed a bit gaudy. In my eyes, it's an adorable statement piece. Perfect for a plain top and jeans.What do you all think?
