Festival LookBook, Fringe Kimonos

Part 2 of my festival style lookbook is a bit more funky but still maintains the same practical and comfortable level as the first. Originally I had planned to do much more festive looks with a lot of details, but I feel that there have been a lot of overdone Coachella looks this year; the matching crop sets, glow (faux) tattoos, the piles of silver jewelry. I do love it all, but I’d rather give some tips on how I would personally dress. I know the typical trend is more rather than less, but when I go to festivals I like to stay mostly on the funky yet comfortable side of festival fashion. These looks both feature fringe kimonos, which is another essential for festival season. It’s fun to have something to move around while you dance, as well as necessary to hide you from the sun during the day. I wore a little black romper with both of these looks which is a simple base to use in almost any look, and others won’t always be able to tell you just wore it.

The first look is a classic all black outfit, which I feel is a very easy go to look as you’ll never be “out of fashion” (whatever that means), and we all know black is slimming and almost everyone looks good in it. I paired this floral lace fringe kimono with the silver accents on my hat, bag and jewelry to offset the otherwise plain look of my outfit. A two tone look is always more interesting. For my 2nd look I decided to wear one of my favorite kimonos. This white crochet dream piece is one of my favorites and it is a true statement piece, I would definitely wear it to a festival. The floral dream-catcher like design on the back and the fringe coming off the arms is just perfect. I also wore a very large necklace with this look. Although this necklace is just one piece it looks like it could be several necklaces strung together which adds dimension. Both of these looks were worn with these lovely leather vintage boots from Harlee’s Closet. I have featured them before on my blog here, I always love finding classic vintage pieces to add to my collection. Outfit details will be listed below for both looks, along with direct links.
