I rocked some fringe this weekend, and I’m not just talking about my frizzy air-dried hair (#weekend). Somehow, I acquired 3 kimonos in a matter of a few days this month. Before this month, I probably owned 3 kimonos total my whole life. I’m not sure what possessed me, other than the effective marketing of the fashion industry. But I have to admit they’re a pretty great summer layer.

I’m trying to space out wearing my 3 kimonos so I don’t become “that girl who always wears kimonos.” I prefer to stick with “that girl who always looks like she’s  thinking something snarky” or “that girl who’s always eating a snack.”

Note to self: Snark & Snacks…working title for my memoir.

At the risk of sounding like every other fashion blogger who talks about “transitional” wear this time of year, I have to say… I’m pretty proud of this transitional wear. THERE. I said it. Bringing in the cranberry and plumb colors but still rocking the espadrille wedges? I’m giving myself a big ol’ September pat on the back for this one.

My very reliable app where cats give me the weather report says that it’s still going to be in the 80s in Indianapolis for the foreseeable future, so I’ll have to channel these mad transitional wear skills when I go back to work next week. This might be my only good idea, though. Time will tell.
