Kitsuke: Polka Dot Kimono with Big Flower Obi

 

I  really wanted to wear kimono recently. The only problem I had: I didn't have any event to attend and transportation mode suitable enough for me wearing kimono T_T. It's okay riding motorcycle when wearing kimono, but I got so much hassle trying to hop on my motorcycle :)). Unless I ride matic motorcycle, I barely go anywhere wearing kimono. I'm already getting used to get peculiar or strange look from stranger upon me when I wear kimono, so yeah, that's not a big trouble for me :D.

So here I was! Attending October AMH's gathering, I decided to wear kimono. Together with Kikuri-chan and Adi, we marched to L'Cost Yogyakarta...errr....after I bought some credit for my phone >_<.  The Bandeng Tanpa Duri Rica-rica was nice. I love fish, so that's why I found it great to have fish for my dinner set.

I didn't wear juban, instead I'm crazed for haneri. I didn't get too much sweat when I wore my kimono with haneri :). As your information, in Indonesia, there's only two season: dry season and rainy season. We have lot of sunlight everyday, that's why everyday is like the best day for wearing kimono :). Again! I was getting crazy get my collar done nicely. And the taiko is tad low. but I love how the obiage bow turned out >_<.  I wore round type obijime - this kind of obijime should be worn together with furisode - but I love the color combo, so...why not wearing that obijime with my komon. As for the footwear? I was wearing my calf-high boots. Ehehe...I still haven't had a pair of nice zori. I really need to save some money just to buy ones.

I really need to research several poses nicely enough for kimono shooting. That pose is really generic :). And a better background for the shot. Oh! And also lighting. I need to take the pictures during broad daylight.

Again! I need to tie the taiko nicely >_<.
