When I was little my mom had this kimono silk robe that I loved. Sometimes when I’d come home from school I would put on that robe, try on her navy snakeskin heels and try my fiercest runway walk to Diana Ross’ ‘I’m Coming Out‘ LP.

So when I bought this short kimono coverup in April, I was dying to wear it out right away, but in this SoCal weather I get chilly very easily. I decided to wait it out until the weather was much warmer. Fast forward to July, and now I’m giving it a go. I paired it with vintage Levis’s, a black sheer top, black wedges and a leopard belt. This outfit is a total experiment for me, yet it feels a bit nostalgic. Perhaps deja vu?? Hmmm….maybe I should give my catwalk one more go ’round…

What do you think? How would you pair it?
