Kimono:
Dragon Gate (this place, I think) has a store in the Dayton Mall that is going out of business. Everything’s on sale, including their lovely kimono-inspired dresses (knee-length and full-length), which I’m currently not finding on their site. Short dresses are $11, long dresses are a little more. At a price like that, you can hardly go wrong, so of course I got one.
Sorry for the blurry shot, it was either that or flash blinding everything out. But you get the idea.
This one is knee-length with a slit running to mid-thigh, mandarin collar with two frogs and three snaps closing and a zipper running on the right side.
There were also some striking black/gold/red ones there, but since I already have a red brocade sundress I left those alone. And an ivory one with gold dragons and phoenixes, but the color was wrong for my skin tone… and a lovely one with a few shades of blue that was the wrong size… yeah, you get the idea. My idea with this is to do some reverse engineering and possibly make a few of my own in different colors.
Fire lizard:
Walked around the house with Hawkeye on my shoulder yesterday.
Mum and Omma were amused.
Updates:
I plan to review Black Powder War and Empire of Ivory. Soon, if possible. But baccalaureate and commencement are next week, so no promises. And I’d like to do Victory of Eagles, if I can snag it from the library soon. There should be some knitting content too, considering everything I’ve gotten done recently.
