I would love a kimono but I wouldn't have any reason to wear it and I'd probably be uncomfortable since I'm so used to unformal clothing.

I don't know what that is behind the outfit but if that's part of where you live it looks extra fancy. I love it.
Ah! No, not every day, and not in that style. That style of wearing is called Hikizuri or Susohiki, it means, trail the hem, and is most commonly worn by Geisha. : ) The back of that is the obi musubi, the obi bow, so the say. I'm pretty much a jeans and tshirt type with college and type, but Kimono is my fashion of choice. : ) I just posted this ensemble simply because it's my favorite. The kimono shown actually belonged to a Geisha.

Kimono is a lot more comfortable, and not all that restrictive. I never feel prettier then when I am in a kimono, and the obi is rather comfortable to wear about the chest and supportive. : )
