I caught a Yukata

Not that it's difficult since you can buy them at just about any store right now. Plus, they're on sale since it's time for the winter ones to roll out and it's after 7/25 (some festival that I didn't catch the name of, but lots of girls were wandering around town in their kimonos).

Roo loves her new "dwess". My tutor helped me get her all dressed up for the camera. I now know how to tie the belt, and to make sure I put right over left when wrapping it. I picked up a purse for her (Hello Kitty) when I got my Yukata.

Roo's is bright and colorful and the sleeves are pretty long, as is customary for a "single" girl. I got mine a few days later and it's black and white with a red obi. I hope the colors are muted enough to be suitable for a married woman. I have no idea where we'll wear them - here or at home. Hopefully we'll get some fun use out of them, though.
