Angled mirror selfie for whole body photo of kimono ensemble. The kimono itself is a light off-white-beigey-butter-yellowy color with a delicate woven hemp pattern in blue. The obi belt is royal blue with orange/green/yellow blobby shapes in a vertical band. An orange smaller decorative belt with small bands of gold is cinched around the obi. Peeking out over the top edge of the obi is a black and white floral patterned decorative obi scarf. OP has her hair up in a hair claw (not seen), and has a cheeky face censor sticker of a cartoon sun wearing glasses.
Chest-up selfie photo of OP in a kimono. Her face has a cheeky face censor sticker of the same cartoon sun with sunglasses. OP has her hair up, but wisps of her brown hair and bangs can be seen. She's also wearing glasses. The kimono itself is a light off-white-beigey-butter-yellowy color with a delicate woven hemp pattern in blue. A colorful under collar peeks out from under the kimono collar - it's medium-sized rainbow colored dots of the LGBTQIA+ colors. The background color of the fabric the dots are on is black.
Torso selfie photo of OP in a kimono. The kimono itself is a light off-white-beigey-butter-yellowy color with a delicate woven hemp pattern in blue (now better seen in this photo). The obi belt is royal blue with orange/green/yellow blobby shapes in a vertical band. An orange smaller decorative belt with small bands of gold is cinched around the obi. Peeking out over the top edge of the obi is a black and white floral patterned decorative obi scarf. The colorful decorative dotted collar can be seen as well.
Separate photo of the two-piece obi belt's back knot panel, called the otaiko knot. This photo is just to show off what the backside of OP's kimono looked like but couldn't take a proper pic of. 😂 The obi is royal blue with an extended cloud-blotchy shape that was also seen on the front waist obi band. There are two vertical orange-red columns within the white-yellow cloud blob, that are different geometric and floral designs. The colors are orange-red, pea green, maroon, and beige-yellow. The otaiko panel is placed next to OP's longhair domestic cat named Beans. Beans is a predominantly white cat with tabby piebald splotches aka "cap and saddle" variation. She is such a good helper.
I celebrated my birthday dinner on Friday at my favorite local Japanese restaurant. I haven't worn kimono there in a few years, so I indulged myself! #treatyourself #birthday #kimono #kitsuke
Photo of a pale, white woman facing the camera in a patchwork Halloween-themed kimono they sewed themselves. The color scheme is orange/orange-yellow and black, with the squares alternating between those two colors. The fabric motifs vary from cartoony skeletons, pumpkins, black cats, candy, ghosts, and other fun Halloween iconography. The sleeves are one solid piece of black and white skeletons, and the fabric designs are vertically tiled cartoon skeletons (this is necessary because the sleeve pattern is cut in one piece, so I wanted something that would still read upside down and right side up!) The collar is black with dark gray texture to match the black sleeves. The obi around the waist is plain black, and is decorated with a white-yellow skinny tie, called an obijime, and in the middle of that is a small gold-orange costume jewelry beetle pin. Just nestled above/behind the obi is a yellow-orange obiage, which is a scarf-like decoration.

Here is my patchwork Halloween kimono I sewed myself! This is my second komon/casual kimono. I've been sitting on my Halloween fabric for a few years, and finally decided what to make! The squares are 6", and over 100 squares were needed to make it. 🎃💀 #kimono #kitsuke #着物 #halloween

I went to a festival this evening and couldn't find any of my yukata so I wore a summer kimono instead, which I can only describe as an ERROR
So...freakin'...hot...

Throw backs—I also learned geimai-kitsuke. It’s pretty difficult because of how precise I feel I have to be, but so rewarding. It made me really understand kimono fashion and how to coordinate better. #kimono #japan #geisha #geiko #maiko #kitsuke #芸妓 #芸者 #舞妓
White person with brown hair in a (blurry) ponytail is wearing a red-orange kimono with black graphic flowers on it. She's facing away from the viewer, so you can see her obi otaiko knot. The obi is cream with gold, orange, red, blue, and green traditional graphic patterns within cloud-like shapes.
Close-up shot of the front of her kimono and obi (from chest to waist approximately). The middle of the photo shows the obi and her accessories - a green and pink obijime are tied around the middle of the obi, and has a small-ish colorful ceramic parrot as an obidome. An avocado green obiage is peeking out from behind and on top of the front of the obi.
Been dealing with regular holiday stress on top of major fatigue from autoimmune issues, so I thought I could post my kimono "kitsuke" I wore the other week to #ATLA In Concert. I need to work on my otaiko knot so it doesn't slip all around. ಥ_ಥ #kimono #kitsuke #着物

Woman wearing a burgundy vintage kimono with spiral patterns.
Outfit from a few weeks ago when I went to a VIP event at the Japan Foundation. This kimono's lining was in very rough shape, so I replaced it with this neat patterned silk from my stash.

A photo of a very lovely non-binary person wearing a lavender houmongi style kimono adorned with butterflies and roses. Their obi is purple with cream stripes, and they have mustard and green accessories. They are standing in front of a multicolored wall.
My next build is a Taisho era kimono and since COVID, my kimono wearing has declined significantly. So, I figured it'd be best to get some kitsuke practice in whenever I can! I did some hosting work last night, so what better opportunity?
