Shopping Trip
The hot weather during celebrations, fireworks, and yukatas. Yukatas are thinner kimonos worn in the summer. Yesterday my friend Noriko and her daughter went shopping with me to help pick out a lovely yukata with traditional looking shoes. We visited five different shops with so many different yukatas. They were beautiful. There were every type of colour and different patterns. Some were traditional and less traditional. We saw one that was black with checked strips...for the punk-kimono look? Here is a some pictures from the day:

you look beautiful Liz! I'm jelous! I also have good news for you about your lay-over :)
Bucket it creepy. You look good, though, Liz.
its creepy Bucket, cause yukatas are for girls...there is a "guy" kumono but they are very simple, normally a grey pattern. so you want to be a Japanese-kumono-wearing-cross-dresser?
Thanks Steph, I'll connect with you to learn the details.
Also thanks Robin...i made pie. did you lose the use of articles while here?
