Hitoe Weather

April 10, 2016

It’s Spring!
Warm and sunny one minute, then breezy and cool the next.
It’s the perfect season for layering.
Below, one on top of the other, my kimono silk, light weight jacket/blouses.
I call them ‘Hitoe’, the Japanese word for an unlined kimono.
Black over grey.

Then, as the day warms up, one layer will do.

    I have some bolts of kimono silk and have been wondering what to do with them. This top would be just the thing – and as you’ve done here, I could make a couple of contrasting ones to wear together! Good idea.
