Want to make an entrance? This is the piece for you. A unique tunic length kimono with a spangled checkerboard to catch the eye. This would look fantastic as a topper for tights or jeans, or even over a mini-dress that peeks out below the hem. Yes I know the picture is orange, but you should choose your own knock-em-dead color and contrast! Why not black background, grey highlights and silver sequins? Or coffee-tan-pink pearl? Or olive-leaf-gold? or any other combination?
