For us in Miami, it&#8217;s a great layering piece because it can cover you when it&#8217;s a little windy, but it isn&#8217;t heavy enough to make you break a sweat (sometimes). I&#8217;ve been playing around with some of the more boho pieces in my wardrobe, and this kimono was a purchase that sat in my closet with the tags on for so long, I decided it was time to just throw it over something I always wear and have a new look. Isn&#8217;t it the best when new outfits come to life from things that you already own? Minor exception being that the sunglasses are new. Some of my favorite ways to reinvent existing items are:<\/p>\n<p>1. Kimonos over rompers, as pictured here<\/p>\n<p>2. Sweaters over dresses, so they look like skirts<\/p>\n<p>3. Classic cotton tees with pencil skirts<\/p>\n<p>4. Pairing pieces of the same color family for a head to toe monochrome look<\/p>\n<p>5. Pairing stripes with\u00a0prints of the same color family, rather than with solids<\/p>\n<p><strong>What are some of your favorite ways to repurpose your existing wardrobe?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_2994.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5287\" src=\"http:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_2994.jpg\" alt=\"wynwood walls\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1334\" srcset=\"https:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_2994.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_2994-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_2994-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_2994-940x626.jpg 940w, https:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_2994-440x294.jpg 440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_2990.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5288\" src=\"http:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_2990.jpg\" alt=\"erika thomas \" width=\"2000\" height=\"1334\" srcset=\"https:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_2990.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_2990-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_2990-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_2990-940x626.jpg 940w, https:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_2990-440x294.jpg 440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_2991.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5289\" src=\"http:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_2991.jpg\" alt=\"erika thomas \" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" srcset=\"https:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_2991.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_2991-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_2991-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_2991-940x626.jpg 940w, https:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_2991-440x294.jpg 440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[9,7,126,151,136],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5285","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-fashion","category-miami","category-outfits","category-shopping-advice","category-well-being"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/erikathomas.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5285","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/erikathomas.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/erikathomas.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/erikathomas.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/erikathomas.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5285"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/erikathomas.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5285\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5296,"href":"https:\/\/erikathomas.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5285\/revisions\/5296"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/erikathomas.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5285"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/erikathomas.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=5285"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/erikathomas.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=5285"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
