Crop Tank: Forever 21 |
Silk Shorts: American Apparel |
Gladiator Sandals: Eternity Fashions |
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff

A couple months ago, we caught up with fellow blogger, Tomarra from FlyyTheory, to discuss one of her favorite looks of the season.

While wearing a printed kimono, a pair of suede gladiator sandals, a cotton tank, and silk shorts, Tomarra put a new spin on the word “Summertime Fine.”

She had this and more to say about her outfit, “Beating the heat this summer has been my top priority! 90 degree weather requires a “less is more” attitude and I think this outfit hits the nail on the head. I kept it simple with shorts and a crop tank but kept texture in mind pairing all my cotton pieces (Tank and Kimono) with these silken shorts from American Apparel. The shorts are super short but still loose and comfortable. These suede gladiator sandals have have been my go to this season and you can probably tell by the many tan lines on my feet.”

Great job Tomarra!

How Did I Wear…

How did I wear…a printed kimono?

After a series of failed attempts, I finally figured out how to style this printed Kimono the right way.

Tip: Styling a kimono is a lot easier than it sounds. Depending on the material, you should consider wear light weight garments underneath.

My original plan was to do the whole double denim thing again. Obviously, that didn’t go as planned. It was a little too warm outside. So, I had to readjust.

Tip: Since the kimono is the perfect spring accessory, try to wear it over a neutral colored tank or tee.

Next, I attempted to wear a brightly colored tank, with skinny jeans. Although that look sounded like a great idea, it wasn’t good enough.

Tip: ASOS has a variety of kimonos available for men. They run anywhere between $20-$40, which isn’t bad considering they are pretty hard to find.

Right before giving up, I decided to go with an all black look at the last minute. The graphic tee and denim shorts bring more to the table than my other failed looks.
