Cherry Blossom Festival

dear friends, this is why I always (except apparently yesterday) carry a parasol or have sunscreen. ha ha. I now have a kimono-shaped sunburn. LOVELY. XD I think the bead collar next to my neck reflected the sun like a mirror! haha. Usually bead collars are great for heat because they feel cool against your neck... but yeah...

but, I had a nice time. I felt very honored to be able to help out with the LA Kimono Club and I met some new people, too! More photos later when my server is done moving. Sorry I couldn't stay later for the evening events, but my family is in town.

as a side note, some of you had been asking how long it takes me to get into kimono, so I timed myself this time... it took me about 30 min, including the obi! So that's not bad! (that doesn't include makeup or hair, but yeah).
Sensei and her sister both used colorful secondary collars paired with white inner bead collars. Accidentally, I matched them!


I'm still a bit intimidated by it, but I think instead of cleaning today (which I did a great deal last week...) that I'm going to work on my Robe à la Française... or at least stare at the pattern a bit. heee.
