...and maybe invest in a blue obi if the shop had a nice one. Unfortunately, it did.

And then...and then...there was this yukata that went so well with it.

And then...I remembered that I'd been needing zori that could go with a wider range of kimono...and there was this sale going on...

Summer zori - the rattan-like sole material is supposed to make everyone looking at it feel cooler. This could be tricky if your foot is in the way.

But the shop wrapped the zori so nicely. This is harder than it looks - as I discovered when I took the strap covers off then tried to put them back again.
So - yeah. All in all, a bit of a disaster.

P.S. Happy birthday, Singapore. I'll wear the red and white obi some other time.
