Let’s be kind to ourselves- it’s okay that we’re still working on things! 💕 We’re not perfect or infallible, and we shouldn’t expect that from ourselves!

@todayintokyo!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH for this breathtaking crow themed antique kimono outfit!!!!!

The houmongi, with bokashi (gradation) in mysterious blue to grey tones, has malicious crows flying around, some embroidered others woven in urushi (lacquered threads). I like how the upper back one looks like it’s gonna catch the mon/crest in its beak.

The obi is super unusual as all black items are usually mourning gear in kimono fashion, which means meek and subdued with only rinzu (woven pattern like this or this for ex).

I know, I know. I know what you’re tryin’ to say. “Harley, why not just leave?” And I’d say, “Why are you screaming at me? I’m not deaf. I’m standing right here.” And then I’d say, “When your taste in men is as bad as mine, they don’t just go away quietly. They slash your tires and they kill your dogs and tell you that the music you like ain’t real music at all. And all the cruelty tears you apart after a while.

Nobody can take away your worth!
