Very nearly this entire getup is from various thrift shops around Portland. The top is from the Value Village in Tigard, the skirt is from the downtown Goodwill, and the belt was part of a truly hedious 80's dress (complete with shoulder pads) that a friend gave me. The clutch is also from a thrift shop, but I've had it so long I can't remember which one.
The shoes, sorry dears, are from Last Chance in Phoenix. They're BCBG.
APPROXIMATE RELEASE DATE: 2013-2014
PERSONAL FUN FACT: What a sweet little summer getup! It's one of my favorites in my collection for sure. I love the quality and the design. The shorts are probably the best quality piece. They are very thick and have a lot of stitching that makes them look super realistic. The shirt, however, is my favorite garment. It's a halter top, which sometimes looks odd on American Girls due to their cloth torsos. But this is actually quite stellar on them...even on my Kailey who has a very orange complexion (which clashes with her more muted torso). The paisley print is so charming...and it inspired handmade fixings. The shoes are much better in terms of construction than other sneakers in my collection. They are fully hemmed and are fashioned from a thick, durable material. I like how they slide on and off, so you don't have to fuss with laces. Some sneakers that are similar in style to these are much flimsier feeling and aren't hemmed at the top (I'm thinking of Luciana's Stellar Outfit shoes...love the ensemble, but wish the shoes were sturdier).
Possible getup for when attending the first meetup for Kimono De Jack Sweden @ Umeå Kulturnatta, 24th of May.
With start at 12:30 in the Asian District, or what is called Kvarteret Asien, Rådhusespladen, and then we stroll around :)

Also noted a collar solution I don't think I've seen before, namely thread used to fold and tie down the collar in the back.
The colours are a bit stronger than irl though, it's a more subdued blue, unless when exposed for stronger light. Not entirely sure about the hakama, which is divided hakama, ie actally for males. I am eyeing ones for women though, ie the skirt kind of hakama, that has a gradient, going from lighter blue to navy blue. Because the kimono is a bit on the short side.. but will practice on getting the fold better (still, if wearing hakama that's not really an issue, rather getting a neat obi is). So, decisions!

Australia is preparing to issue its first formal apology for past mistreatment of the country's Aboriginal people. The declaration by Prime Minister Kevin Rudd will be the first act of the new government when the Australian parliament reopens in Canberra on February 13. It will acknowledge injustices suffered by Aborigines in the years after European colonization that began in the late 1700s. From Sydney, Phil Mercer reports.
It's been a long time coming but Australia is about to say sorry to its indigenous people.
February 13 will be a momentous day.
Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd will apologise for injustices of the past, including the forced removal of thousands of Aboriginal children from their families.
These people are known as the 'Stolen Generations' and have come to symbolize the mistreatment suffered by Australia's original inhabitants.

Members of the Stolen Generations have descended on Canberra from all over Australia to witness today's historic apology to Aboriginal people removed from their families.
Hundreds of Indigenous people will witness Prime Minister Kevin Rudd saying sorry for the pain, suffering and hurt of the Stolen Generations, their descendants and the families left behind, in an historic motion in Federal Parliament this morning.
While politicians continue to argue over the meaning and wording of the apology, for members of the Stolen Generations it will be a symbolic event, signifying the first step in the healing process.

the australian government is actively concealing information with regard to the incident, though one doubts they'll be successful in the long run...
australia's international reputation has taken quite a battering in recent years - those overseas and locals who wonder whatever happened to the compassionate australia of past decades may take some hope from these events, held on short notice across the country
