Styling A Floral Kimono #MomStyleMonday

 

One of the biggest trends right now that we’re seeing everywhere and is so simple to add a little pop to a really casual outfit is kimonos. They are flowy, comfortable, lightweight and great for layering. So today I’m showing you all how I’m styling my favorite floral kimono.

First, if you missed last week’s mom style post, please check out how to style a cozy winter poncho here.

Okay you all know how I’m all abo0ut simple with my style because chasing after kids in anything that isn’t comfortable just isn’t possible for me. This navy blue floral kimono courtesy of Pink Blush is silky enough for me to feel like I’m adding a bit of luxury to my outfit, but still mom friendly.

The floral kimono drapes really beautifully and looks great paired with your favorite booties, skinny jeans and basic tee so that the kimono steals the show and everything else is just in the background. The main different between a kimono and a cardigan is that cardigans are typically a knit and often have buttons down the front. Kimonos are more often made of lighter weight fabrics, even looser than a cardigan and never have buttons down the front.

And honestly, at only $37, this floral kimono makes a great holiday gift for all those mamas in your life!

I wore this outfit two weekends ago whenever we spent a lovely afternoon in Bryant Park with the kids. We walked through the Winter Village and window shopped, Branden sipped on some famous Max Brenner hot chocolate – for the firs time, we watched the ice skaters, did some holiday shopping and ended the day with a family dinner at one of our favorite restaurants, Heartland Brewery (if you love a great beer, they make their own). This outfit lasted me through all that busyness of the day, was really comfortable, but I also had so many people stop me to ask about this pretty kimono. So if you’re looking for something to add to your wardrobe – this is a really fun place to start! Have a great week mom stylers!

Fashionably Yours,

Allison
