LaMedicine said:My U. Med School 35th anniversary reunion was last Saturday.
Three of the ten women in our class showed up in kimonos, so here I am, before heading out.
Hand drawn sumi-e, ink and wash painting landscape motif kimono with a boat moored by the river motif Nishjin-ori brocade obi.
Kimono and obi coordination is often chosen to present a theme. In this case, the common theme is the river, the landscape being mountain cliffs and river, with the riverside boat.
Right sleeve--front.
Left sleeve--back.
Right back to side panel.

Front.
Obi front. This obi was orginally my aunt's, which she gave this to me last year.
Obi back.
Anwen said:Nothing genuinely vintage, I'm afraid, but I think there was a certain mid-century feel to my outfit (or maybe I'm just deluded...) today, I had on a cabled, very fitted jumper that I made, with a dark brown skirt with godets and curled (ish - it never holds that well) hair and red lippy:
@ GrantFanGrant Fan said:LaMedicine as always you look amazing. Your kimonos are always stunning. And I love the obi you had on. I have to say when I see you in your stunning Kimonos I wish 1. that I could actually fit in one (I am far to tall or that I am sure) 2. That I had a clue how to put one on and 3. that I wouldn't look absolutley ridiculous walking around in Virginia wearing a Kimono.

Also wearing a vintage Dobbs fedora, green vintage unlined tie, Magnoli shirt, and AE spectators.
