What aspects about geisha style do you think would fit best into a modern outfit? ( That isn't to lolita-ish because that's really not the type of clothing I feel myself in. )

There's a lot of things one can integrate into an outfit that is Geisha-esque or authentic Japanese Wear.
One of my favorite things to spice up an outfit is Kanzashi. Kanzashi are traditional Japanese Hair ornaments, and they really go good with anything.
There's multiple types:

Geta and Zori, which are traditional Japanese footwear, are also easily added to any wear. I find Geta look quite tasteful with Jeans. : )
Haori, which are Kimono jackets, can also be worn, and are fun with jeans.
You can also use vintage kimono silk in a variety of crafts for clothing. I like to patch my ripped up jeans and jackets with kimono silk to give it a unique, one of a kind look. : )
