One Tribe Apparel White Peacock Kimono – Global Inspiration

 

It’s almost time to transition our closet for cooler temperatures.  Creating a capsule wardrobe is the best solution to this change.

What is a capsule wardrobe?  It’s classic pieces that can be worn several seasons. The concept is that one can look inside their closet and create multiple outfits with only a few select pieces.

I am an advocate for capsule wardrobes because they make clothing organization easier. One can also dress faster with this type of wardrobe.  There’s no fuss or the age-old question, “what should I wear?”

One Tribe Apparel shipped a beautiful White Peacock Kimono as part of their Boho Kimono Collection.  The company seeks to create clothing for travelers through art and fashion.

I’m incorporating this beautiful Kimono (transitional piece) into my Fall capsule wardrobe. Take a look at the White Peacock Kimono below:

Can also be worn with booties
