holy shit
so like since i really wanted a kimono and the tea club teacher wears them all the time i asked her about where would be a good place to get one. she said she would talk to the person who tailors hers and she did and i just got it and it's absolutely gorgeous and made thick so it'll withstand alaskan winter and she is giving it to me. not letting me pay for it giving it to me. these are expensive, and i am flabbergasted.
