For the obi, I've found these three; but are they the right kind, and match well? I will only buy one:

Which, if any, would be the best one too buy; and the best looking? I'm sorry I'm so kimono-illiterate!
Thank you for any help 
That's a real Kimono.
However this kind of kimono is not popular among the young people in Japan, that's the reason of such cheap price, I guess.
There are Kimono pattern types for each young and old people, it looks too severe to me. I am sure the kimono's owner was her 60s, 70s... younger people tend to choose colorful kimonos, which are more expensive.
But it's just a matter of taste.
I would choose the first obi(pink) if I were you.
