A couple of weekends ago, the weather was too nice to stay inside. We decided our local Gene Coulon Park was the ticket for some dinner and a nice stroll. And by nice stroll, I mean walk around the park, chase some geese, eat some food, and get blown away by the wind.
Dave was in Vegas in June and one of the things I always ask for (ok, let’s be real, I demand) is for him to bring me back a present of some kind from his trip. I was expecting some dorky Vegas tee or mug, but he brought me back this kimono. Score!
I’m kind of obsessed with it.
But, um yeah, so we had this tasty clam chowder and the sleeve of the kimono may or may not accidentally have fallen into my chowder bread bowl. I’m generally not a klutz, but some days I just… I don’t even know, I have my days.
Sharing is caring… except for Ivar’s chowder. #yeswedideatthat
Luckily the chowder was no match for my laundry stain remover spray, so crisis averted. My kimono is fine. But if I wear it again, you may call it the Chowder Kimono. Or not, but it just sounds silly.
What I’m Wearing
Kimono: Chloe Oliver
Dress: Forever21
Sandals: Birkenstock Mayari (Duhhh.)
Sunglasses: Ray-Ban
Bangles: Forever21
Necklace: House of Harlow
Ring: Gorjana
Happy Friday! Anyone have fun weekend plans?
What a pretty kimono! Love the way you styled it with your black maxi dress, chic top knot, and House of Harlow necklace! Happy to hear that it survived lunch too! ;)

Kimonos + soup don’t sound like the most ideal combo, haha. Glad you were able to get it out!

Love your kimono, I need a new one in my closet. Aren’t these sunnies the best? I’ve had mine for 5 years now.
Yes, I love them – they go with everything! Thanks, Rachelle! :)
The fact that you only got the sleeve a little dirty is a win in my book – that chowder would have been all down my shirt and both sleeves I’m sure – me and soup do not get along. Love the outfit!
Haha! Glad I’m not the only one with soup problems. :) Thanks, Rebekah!
Your hubby did awesome, that’s impressive! Love the kimono.
And your topknot/bun (what’s the right word?) looks great, I love them for the summer!
Aw, thank Miriam, I will let him know. Yes, topknot or bun works. Basically my go to style when I haven’t washed my hair ;)
Great look! I just love kimonos!

Thanks, Starr!
I swear you look gorgeous in anything you wear! I love the rare occasion when its nice in Washington. Thank our lucky stars it has been nice a lot lately. None of that “R” word recently.
Katreena
Aw, thank you so much, Katreena! You are too sweet. So glad we haven’t seen any of that R word. It’s been beautiful!
Love the kimono!
thanks, Jemma!
That Kimono is great. Would make a perfect beach cover-up too. I usually end up with sweets when my husband comes back from travel.
Ooh, sweets are good too! I would never say no to that :) Yes, it would make a great beach coverup – good idea!
He picks well! Love that kimono!
Thanks, Chelsea!

Jen, your kimono is so unique and has a Summer vibe to it. This Outfit is boho-chic. I love your necklace and I always adore it when you wear a Maxi. Gorgeous place for photos, also. =)
I am doing a link-up featuring Summer Trends every day this week and one of those trends is the Maxi Dress/Skirt. I’d love for you to join my link up with this outfit. If you do, please include a link back to my blog. Thanks girl. You have time till next Tuesday to link up an Outfit or more. =)
Happy Hump Day!! Ada. =)
Aw, thanks Ada! I’ll be sure to link it up with you. Thanks for letting me know! :)
The kimono is gorg (good job, Dave), and you look so “oh, this? Yeah, I just threw this on because I’m effortlessly fab and stylish, but still approachable.” Basically, you look like everybody’s imaginary BFF. :)
Haha, aw, thanks Kristan! :)
I love the kimono with your dress! Super cute! Thanks for joining our linkup :)
