Wardrobe Staple: Kimono

The second look from my shoot with The Bostonista and No Rest for Bridget carried on the boho spirit of the 70's that inspired my first look, this time with a festival-ready fringed kimono and a printed maxi dress.

While it's not at all form-fitted, I love the way the silky material and liquidy cut of the kimono enhances my shape, not hides it. More dressy and special than a cardigan and less buttoned-up than a blazer, it's a great way to cover up when the weather drops, and the fringe gave it an added element of lively movement.

Both pieces are perfect for transitional, seasonal dressing - the dress looks great on it's own for warmer weather, and the kimono is super easy to throw on and dress up (and warm up) literally anything. I can't wait to pair this one by Naked Zebra with jeans and a tank top, and I have a suspicion that it would look fabuloso belted, as well.

Multi-Color Aztec Maxi Dress by Jella Couture, $40; Fringe Kimono by Naked Zebra, $43; Knit Beanie, $10; all available at No Rest for Bridget. (Necklace, my own by Osmanli Taki)
