Yabane with puffin.

I had some fun with this summer kimono a few days ago. It's way too short for me - I manage only the tiniest ohashori which hides somewhere under the obi and even so it's not long enough. I pulled it a little bit higher to make the shortness look more deliberate and wore showy shoes, because if I'm going to show some ankle there better be something to look at!

Same went for the stockings.

Here's just the kimono.

I finally managed a nice-looking musubi of that narrow otaiko variation. The puffin matches it perfectly!
