Benavente white kimono
9:00 AM
White kimono from Benavente collection ''Ikebana Tori''. As you may remember, I wrote a post about it about a month ago, when the team of YOUNIQUE came to deliver it personally to me :)
I was really excited to finally wear it, but everything got complicated somewhat suddenly: trips, more pictures and projects to do, not really sure how to combine the kimono being all white, also injured my arm so had to carry with that bandage... Such a disaster.
Finally decided to experiment a little bit, and pair this white, silky kimono with a very minimalistic and simple outfit. I must recognize that I finally didn't like at all how it came with those bootcut black pants... I mean, now I see I have should paired it with a pair of skinny matte trousers or jeans for a more informal look as this is a really dressy piece. The bandage on my arm didn't help at all (I totally felt like a white mummy), so finally had to take it off for some minutes.
I think the red on the Michael Kors Jet Set bag, the vintage necklace and also on my lipstick gave the outfit a touch of needed color. With darkness around, and the shape of the sleeves of my kimono I was afraid of looking like a creepy ghost!

With the kimono as the highlight of this outfit, I think it is very nice. It would be even more so if it were a more traditional kimono or maybe had some lovely sort of pattern to it (like sakura (cherry blossom) prints or some blossoms). Not in love with the outfit, but it is a very nice outfit going with the black top, black pants, and white sandals. The red pops from the charming handbag and necklaces offer some nice diversion. So I say you've styled this quite well, Amanda.
