Kimono Contest

I always say I’m not going to talk about the weather and yet, here I go again. I can handle windy and warm, but windy and cold? That’s a whole different ballgame. Mother Nature is killin’ me. One minute it’s 82 degrees (seriously, it was that warm) and I’m frolicking about town, bouncing from patio to patio and the next thing I know, she’s slamming her fist down and saying not so fast.

In all honesty, I should really be wearing a coat here. Cover your ears eyes, Nana! Maybe it was the boots making me feel extra fierce, or maybe it was the fact that the star of the show (this fringed kimono from Tulip!) refused to go unnoticed, hiding beneath bulky winter layers, reserved for only the coldest of months. Your guess is as good as mine.

Let’s hope my next kimono outing is sunny and 75.

Next order of business: the contest. I’m up against some stiff competition for best dressed and I need your help! Visit the Tulip Facebook page and comment on the “Tulip Twist” post with the letter B to cast your vote. I’ll thank you with endless cat emoji kisses! Unless you don’t like cats, then we can work something else out. There’s a little something for you over there as well!

Remember, B for badass in boots, okay?

Happy last Thursday before spring!
