Kimono and belt thrifted. Dress by Pinkstitch. Shoes from unknown brand

Ta dah! If any of you follow me on twitter then you would have seen me tweeting away about getting my hair coloured. So here we are, my new hair. Not a huge difference just a bit darker and a lot redder! I had red hair for a long time a few years ago so I'm quite glad to have it back for now. Anyway, getting back to the real subject of this post which is this amazing jacket/kimono that I picked up at a thrift store for a bargain. When I got it home and actually inspected it I was so shocked to see that it's 100 percent silk! Never ceases to amaze me the things I find in thrift stores. 

As you may have picked up I have a slight obsession with blue, so of course I have to mention the amazing electric blue colour. There is just something so soothing, but at the same time wonderfully happy about the colour blue, and it's suiting my mood perfectly! Lately it just seems that I have truly found the path that I'm meant to be on in life, everything is going so smoothly it's a little scary. Let's hope it stays this way.

    I see those kimonos in thrift stores so often and I think they are simply gorgeous. Love the one you have on here. I never knew how to style them into my wardrobe and I really like what you have done with it in this outfit!
