Could also try over high rise bottoms (which would act similarly to a higher rise pencil). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-styling-a-boho-blouse#post-1799203 Mon, 17 Apr 2017 21:40:13 +0000 krishnidoux 1799203@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Zoiechic, that is brilliant. I will try it.</p> <p>Jenni, yes, in pic one I have. Luckily, it doesn't ride up too much, at least not right away. That's a good thing about FP, is that they generally use good quality material. I think pic 1 looks more current because the white jeans are skinny jeans (Marciano), whereas the blue ones are a classic cut for "curvy" bodies (Ralph Lauren).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-styling-a-boho-blouse#post-1799163 Mon, 17 Apr 2017 20:16:59 +0000 Jenni NZ 1799163@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Much better in pic 1 with the white jeans. Have you pulled the waist down in that one? If you have, will it stay there or ride up? It's cute. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-styling-a-boho-blouse#post-1799065 Mon, 17 Apr 2017 15:32:01 +0000 Anonymous 1799065@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe it would work with a straight denim skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-styling-a-boho-blouse#post-1799051 Mon, 17 Apr 2017 14:25:22 +0000 krishnidoux 1799051@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joy, your comment is very eye-opening. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-styling-a-boho-blouse#post-1799044 Mon, 17 Apr 2017 14:04:58 +0000 krishnidoux 1799044@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I have identified it.</p> <p>The problem - what makes this top so boho-cool yet so difficult to style - is the round collar AND the elastic going around the waist. Round + round leaves bun in the middle. </p> <p>Do you agree? Do you have this problem too? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-styling-a-boho-blouse#post-1799041 Mon, 17 Apr 2017 13:55:18 +0000 krishnidoux 1799041@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha, Robin, you've nailed it. I'm glad to see it's not just in my head. It's just blousing too much. Yet it's just the perfect fabric and print that you'd want a blouse to blouse, if you were ever to want that.</p> <p>I am realizing maybe I never want that.<br />lol</p> <p>Liz, what a great idea. I think there is enough fabric to do this.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-styling-a-boho-blouse#post-1799034 Mon, 17 Apr 2017 13:44:29 +0000 Anonymous 1799034@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I used to have something like this, but with a small ruffle at the hem. I wore it with jeans and the hem worked well to lengthen my short waist. It was more horizontal than vertical and I passed it on mostly because of the open neckline like this one. I needed to fill it with something. Try yours with a long necklace or skinny scarf to add some vertical. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-styling-a-boho-blouse#post-1799021 Mon, 17 Apr 2017 12:44:50 +0000 Liz 1799021@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>With my blouses like that, I have the elastic sit down on my hips -- but I'm a pear, and that works to smooth out my hipline.</p> <p>You could take the elastic out and wear it as a long, drapy top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-styling-a-boho-blouse#post-1799016 Mon, 17 Apr 2017 12:33:56 +0000 RobinF 1799016@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had a blouse like that a few years ago and never figured out a good way to wear it. It just bloused out too much. Could you wear it with the waist more around the hips? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-styling-a-boho-blouse#post-1799012 Mon, 17 Apr 2017 12:05:13 +0000 krishnidoux 1799012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi all!&nbsp;<br />I have a Free People peasant boho blouse with an elastic band, similar to the one here, and I really don't know how to wear it. I thought to pair it with jeans would be a no-brainer (à la Birkin), but somehow it doesn't work because of the elastic waist band. It looks like there is too much fabric at the waist for petite me. I think it might also be due to the round neck, making it a horizontal piece more than a vertical one.&nbsp;<br />Is there any hope you think?&nbsp;<br />Do you own such a garment, and if so, what outfits do you wear it with?<br />Thank you in advance! </p>
