I love the concept of an almost floor sweeping gown/dress/kimono worn as a cardi. The above one is an old Zara find that can be worn both ways (or at least to me it can) so I wore it in said fashion. For those that grew up wearing cardigans like me, this is the ultimate comfort blanket summer-ized.
Question: Topshop block heels or Chuck Taylors? Both are on display to show the difference but which is more you? Something strappy or tomboy casual?
. . .
Dress worn as summer cardi: Zara (old). Jeans: Men’s H&M (seen before in this February post!!). Found them in blue! Sandals: Topshop. Bag: Jerome Dreyfuss (sold out but similar in a smaller size here). Similar leopard bags: M&F Western, Maje and Olivia Miller. Plimsolls: Converse
ps. I updated my shop!!

You do rock both so well, but I love the heels- it gives the dress/cardi some elevation and you can appreciate the lines and details of the jeans and dress a bit more. The chicks are great too, but not as satisfying as those heels.

Thanks I LOVE a good Kimono! This one is really a dress or half dress if you want to call it that. A vintage kimono would be a cool find

Love the jeans. do they run true to size? or did you have to size up or down? i find H&M for women wrong too small for me. i haven’t tried the men’s ones.
Karen Blanchard says:
Thanks! Whatever you get in womens get in mens. Even go up one for slouch/drop crotch effect : )

i found a kimono at the thrift and looking for ways to style it what would you suggest? Also, looking for cute styles as I am a yoga teacher and sometimes have to pop out after yoga what would you suggest?
