Wa + aristo?


Technically speaking why not? Aristo has a suitable silhouette and the more mature look might allow for the use of my komon kimonos, I thought (in class where I was actually supposed to be learning to combine dvalarhorf with lokið horf II), and then I just sort of went for it.

I'm not entirely sure how well I succeeded but at least the end result is not an absolute eyesore. I think.  Kimono enthusiasts might raise their eyebrows a bit at the hitoe, true enough it was not yet warm enough for it! I knew I was going to fold it up a lot at the ohashori so I deducted that a thin fabric might go better, besides this komon is wayyyyyy too short for me as it is. Next time I'll try to make use of one of the lined kimono instead though so I can actually wear the combo outside for a while...




Then I decided to go running around in the garden. Enjoy the artsy fartsy sun-right-in-front-of-camera pics. :D


Black lace scarf thingy got also involved.



As for how satisfied I am at the outcome... well, some I am and some I think could have been done better. Oh well, live and learn live and learn.

    Þetta tengist þessari bloggfærslu ekki, en ég prufaði að googla 'ísland lolita' og þá fann ég síðuna þína. Ég hafði ekki hugmynd um að það væru lolitur á Íslandi! en af meet-up myndunum að dæma eruð þið nokkrar :) Ég á sjálf engin lolitu föt en ég er voða forvitin, kaupirðu mest af þeim á netinu? Er eitthvað sem þú hefur fundið á Íslandi?

    1. Hæ hæ! :D
      Já - við erum hér en við erum fáar. Ég er ekki viss um hvað við erum margar núna því tvær stúlkur fluttu til Bretlands og ein er hætt að klæða sig í lolituföt. :(

      Já ég kaupi lolifötin mín oft á netinu, eða sauma þau sjálf. Ég held það sé ekki neinn staður sem selur lolituföt á Íslandi, en Rokk og Rósir er oft með sæta kjóla og skyrtur sem eru "lolitable". :3

    1. I quite like it myself, and that's a lot to say since I usually just whinge about my outfits after I've posted them. :D Perhaps it's the narrow silhouette of aristo that makes is far easier wa-compatible than loli?
