Matching kimono secrets and suspicion?

These two young women are clearly friends, but as well as sharing very similar tastes in kimono, they also seem to share an equally similar sense of secrecy and suspicion.

    Their expressions are interesting but I just love those outfits!

      Definitely not your usual kimono that’s for sure.

    The one on the left looks upset. I wonder what happened?

      Yeah, I have no idea what had been said, or maybe not said, but clearly the day wasn’t quite going the way they had planned when they got all dressed up…

    Do they have “two for the price of one” sales is Japan?

      Haha, that’s a very good question. Quite possibly the next big thing.

    Nice to see that street well populated, and what an excellent pair to happen across. I think they are just cold. Their hands have that pink cold glow and the lady walking away has her hands firmly drawn up into her fleece sleeves. The particularly putout young woman does have her very own grey bottomed cloud immediately above her head though. Let’s hope it was temporary, whatever it was, and their day took a better turn.

      Yeah, a bit busier, although the current, and now extended state of emergency of sorts has thinned out the crowds again.

      More than anything it was interesting just to see some expressions. So rare to see an uncovered face these days that it was something of a novelty to imagine what may or may not have been going on.
