Ladies my sister asked me what a kimono was because someone told her they were very forgiving if you're trying to hide a little weight. I love that they are lightweight, often colorful and I hope they are here to stay. I started to pull from my closet to show her and found over 40 in my spring and summer closet and wasn't even close to getting through them all. Here is a selection of what I've decided to purge so you can splurge. They are also usually washable in a lingerie bag and quick drying. I was at a wedding a few weeks ago and I kept seeing one after another at the reception. I think they are here to stay. This is a lovely floral example. There's still time to wear one. Perfect for packing if you do cruises or travel to more exotic places than my closet. Also great swimsuit cover ups.
