Kimonos, Wraps, Cover-Ups, Capes, Frocks, etc.

I’m a Capricorn Ascendant - I love them! They make me feel like a Queen. I like them to drag the floor. I like mine long. They are good hip and dunk covers. Got a party dress, too short, revealing? Slap on a Kimono and its peak-a-boo time. In the mist of hips, thighs, dunks, etc., I like and am the one covered up. You know, I’m the girl who goes to the club in a church dress and mary-janes…covered up. Big Momma loved this about me and I got away with a lot. They match my personality. They give me that bit of energy, savoir-faire, keeps me calm, and acting lady like so that my Sun don’t shine (I’m an Aries – double horned bitch, lol!)

So, I love their versatility. They are good for layering. Particularly for those of us that live in the South and have three seasons in one day. They are also good for looking sexy around the house in your panties, no bra…

just bought a white embroidered lace one for next summer. I go in the store and clean – up on wraps. I buy most of mine from Forever21, Agaci and such.

So, I will post me in kimono’s wraps, cover-ups, etc. Post yours, your love of kimonos. It’s so fun being a girl!

I think I will start with the one I’m wearing today. Let me go to the bathroom and take a snapshot.
This one is my favorite because of the neutral color. And, it has pockets!

Loving it! You would have a party in my closet! Lol
If you teach me how to post pic easy way I’ll show you something you could be surprised!
Black ones are everyday use. I didn't wanted to be sleeveless and show all my waistline and measurements. Imagine how revealing this outfit would (innocently) be without the kimono.

Why just winter? I bought a white, sheer, embroidered one that is so beautiful. I have several summer style s.

Here's one of my short, sheer, summertime ones. It's sheer, light, and I'm always trying to look my age although... so, by adding a sheer cover-up to this outfit, I hope, took me from 20 to 40? I always appreciated aged things, even as child... hence dating and friending those well my senior ----- Capricorn Ascendant.

They look good on you, but I’d be stuck in a car door somewhere.
Do you also love like long evening gowns, and long maxi dresses? My favorites.

Don't like her outfit together with the kimono though.

Not really a sarong thread. Can't wear sarongs everyday or everywear so a very limited convo or thread. Notice this thread is also about the versatility of kimonos, capes, etc.

I have some of those too. When you wear one, take a pic.
I love blue... it calms me. Here's one that's difficult to coordinate at times...

Do wrap dresses count?

No, not this topic. But, start a topic for it. I love Ms. Diane Von Faustenberg... the creator... Capricorn. I like Capricorn designers.

I didn't see this question, sorry.

Yes, I have alotta maxi dresses that I love... especially with boots or flip-flops hidden underneath. Mine are beautiful, flowing.

Evening gowns don't have to be long... it's like an overall design assessment with the event taken into consideration.
I love kimono too! I need to get better at thread pic posting
I just bought/ordered to netted and heavily embtoidered cover ups... easy elegance.. for church.
