Metallic Kimono

I tried to think of an inventive title for this post but....creativity is clearly escaping me and so here I am calling a spade a spade. Or rather a metallic kimono a metallic kimono.

This one is from Zara and I got it in store last weekend.

They have a fantastic collection of alluring metallics at the moment and whilst not all of it is practical (silver trousers anyone???) this most definitely is.

I have worn this twice since I got it - slipped on over practically anything it takes the most casual and basic outfit and turns it up a notch. The metallic colour - a hybrid of gold and silver - is super flattering and the casualness of the shape makes it work for any body shape. It's an easy peasy piece - and we all like clothes like that, right?

I wore this the other night on a little walk to Marina Mall. The weather is finally getting bearable in the evenings which is very exciting - no more hiding out in air conditioned rooms :)

Kimono: Zara
Tee: Forever 21
Trousers: Miss Selfridge
Bag: Miu Miu
Perfume: (I always like when people put this/say this even though they could be totally fibbing and wearing Katie Price's finest (not that I am knocking that - I have invested in the past :) ) Balenciaga
  
PS.
I took some photos today of Giorgio Armani's Eyes to Kill Excess mascara and hope to get that post up this week. It may be that I have been deprived of good lashes for so long (thanks Lancome Doll Eyes, thanks for nothing) but it's a truly incredible mascara. I know what I like and I like a BIG lash - exactly what this product provides in one coat.

Exciting stuff - for me anyway :)
