Owning a piece of clothing that can be worn multiple times to create different outfits is something I consider a good purchase. This forms part of how to shop like a personal stylist. Today I wanted to show you how to wear a Kimono three ways. You would have seen me feature this kimono back on this post about casual outfits.
When I look for pieces to add to my wardrobe, it has to be something that is missing or something I want more of to give me choice. My wardrobe is well curated. My stance has changed over the years to buy less, and wear more of what I own.
But there are times where I will find a piece that I love. And I really loved the look of this Spell Designs Kimono when I first saw it. For this particular piece, I left it for 48 hours to think about whether I needed it or not.
The want gave way though and I added it to cart after time away from the computer.
I could imagine myself wearing this kimono open as a layer over a tee and jeans or tee and jean shorts. I could also wear it as a dress. However, experience has taught me cross over belted dresses often have me constantly doing this (see pic below). So it definitely needs a slip worn underneath.
I still love it and I’m very grateful I was able to purchase it as it is no longer available online.

As a Kimono Dress

Layered over jeans
There are slits under the arms to give the kimono a slight billowy feel. Without a cami or tee underneath, I’d feel exposed.
Despite this, I still love it and can’t wait to wear it once the weather drops below 30 degrees.
I might even slip it over my swimmers when I head to the beach. Now, I’ve found 4 ways to wear this piece. 😉
