Well, now my new white jeans are just waiting for the weather to warm up so we can have fun.</p> <p>I think I'm going the other direction, away from boho to a more streamlined look. I used to love Isabel Marant, but now I find it too much in many ways, too casual, too much print, too 'flowy', too ethnic, too romantic and dainty. I still like her style a lot, but I'd rather incorporate just a very small dose for myself. I become a great fan of Weekend Max Mara and Sportmax which I find quite bold, fun and fascinating, especially when it comes to colours and patterns. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-about-as-boho-as-karl-lagerfeld/page/2#post-1653718 Mon, 02 May 2016 11:29:07 +0000 Style Fan 1653718@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie you have always looked very polished and modern to me.&nbsp; I think of your blouses as hints of Boho.&nbsp; Your hair has a Duran Duran influence which works well with the hint of Boho.<br />I need to really tone down the Boho.&nbsp; I just look Boho.&nbsp; Longish hair with bangs yells Flower Child.&nbsp;&nbsp;Boho is like comfort food for me.&nbsp; I go near anything Boho and the music starts.&nbsp; Age of Aquarius. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-about-as-boho-as-karl-lagerfeld/page/2#post-1653706 Mon, 02 May 2016 10:33:52 +0000 April 1653706@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I have changed my mind about jeans lately. &nbsp;I've shifted from only preferring dark wash, trouser-y styles or skinnies to embracing the worn and faded look. &nbsp;From "a little dressy" to "a little messy."</p> <p>The whole boyfriend craze didn't really pull me in because I hate fussing with belts all day long, and because the rolled-up cuffs at my ankle were always ungainly and coming unrolled throughout the day. &nbsp;Thus a look that really appeared casual and thrown-together would actually become a high-maintenance chore. &nbsp; &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-about-as-boho-as-karl-lagerfeld/page/2#post-1652612 Fri, 29 Apr 2016 16:30:40 +0000 Anonymous 1652612@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting conversation here. &nbsp;It reflects how we're all exploring styles as opposed to tolerating 'the new.' &nbsp;The Boho-Lite movement embraces fluidity, romanticism, a return to prettiness and pattern. &nbsp;Some of us wore this style as maternity clothes and post-birthing wear, esp in the 70's. &nbsp;When I see boho blouses on the rack, they often bring a smile to my face. &nbsp;And that's lovely, to be happy, to say yes to what pleases our hearts. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-about-as-boho-as-karl-lagerfeld/page/2#post-1652555 Fri, 29 Apr 2016 14:50:15 +0000 Angie 1652555@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You're sweet, Jaime. Thanks for the kind words and astute comments. Sure, that can be a moniker.&nbsp;</p> <p>Carla, Boho is seasonless, and always in style. It's an iconic style persona.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Joy, </b>I tried on the blouse again this morning to figure out <b>exactly</b> why the muu-muu works on my slight frame. The neck is wider than I like, but I push it back and Bob's your uncle. I can fit two of me in the torso - no exaggeration - but as I said before, the drape of the fabric is exceptional, so it hangs in a streamlined way. Perhaps my height and long arms help a bit too. And then of course - the concept of JFE works wonders.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-about-as-boho-as-karl-lagerfeld/page/2#post-1652390 Fri, 29 Apr 2016 03:00:34 +0000 Carla 1652390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Last summer I dabbled with boho when the top (pic below) spoke to me. It became a wardrobe workhorse and will go back into rotation when it gets a little warmer. </p> <p>I was wondering if boho was more than a seasonal (fall) thing and snapped the picture below at the big Bay in downtown Toronto last week, with the intention of posting and enquiringly about the trend.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-about-as-boho-as-karl-lagerfeld#post-1652384 Fri, 29 Apr 2016 02:44:33 +0000 Jaime 1652384@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie I think crisp and polished are your style themes that make everything you from peasant blouses to button down shirts.<br />I have an old Trinny and Susannah book where they model different styles from Boho to Rocker to Minimal and Androgynous. Although I am less intrigued by Ice Queen and Diva, there are bits about all of them that speak to me. <br />Is eccentric/minimal/gamine/androgynous/boho a moniker?</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-about-as-boho-as-karl-lagerfeld#post-1652376 Fri, 29 Apr 2016 02:19:20 +0000 Anonymous 1652376@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for your response, Angie. I would really love to own this top and think it would be a favorite. I will think on it, but think it will still be too big around the neck. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-about-as-boho-as-karl-lagerfeld#post-1652372 Fri, 29 Apr 2016 02:09:39 +0000 Angie 1652372@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great thoughts, ladies. You make me laugh. </p> <p>Joy, that blouse is even bigger on me. But the sleeves are a good length for my gorilla arms and the drape is incredible. I wear it muu-muu, and far less fitted than on the model. It works. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-about-as-boho-as-karl-lagerfeld#post-1652367 Fri, 29 Apr 2016 02:01:13 +0000 Anonymous 1652367@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with skylurker that you don't look boho even when you're trying. I think because you always wear too much structure for boho.<br /> I like all the pieces you posted here and would buy them all if I could. I love your boho-lite style! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-about-as-boho-as-karl-lagerfeld#post-1652366 Fri, 29 Apr 2016 01:57:41 +0000 Brooklyn 1652366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also change my mind all the time. But that's all part of the fun isn't it? I think I am going the opposite way to you in that I am probably less boho than I used to be. Over the summer I purged or hacked the sleeves off some boho style peasant blouses and embroidered tops. It's not a style I am drawn to anymore. But my flares are staying. For now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-about-as-boho-as-karl-lagerfeld#post-1652356 Fri, 29 Apr 2016 01:47:45 +0000 Anonymous 1652356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>BTW, I tried on your CeCe blouse today but even the xs was too big at the top and sleeves were too long. Did you have yours altered? Dillards has this blouse for under $54 plus an extra 30% off right now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-about-as-boho-as-karl-lagerfeld#post-1652353 Fri, 29 Apr 2016 01:45:37 +0000 Aquamarine 1652353@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I change my mind all the time, especially after seeing forum members styling new items. I have fashion ADHD, I think. Luckily I'm restrained by the fact I can't throw out my closet and start over every time I see new styles here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-about-as-boho-as-karl-lagerfeld#post-1652349 Fri, 29 Apr 2016 01:34:16 +0000 Anonymous 1652349@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have certainly changed my mind recently about frayed crops and about harem pants. The fabulous examples in your blog posts and on the forum have won me over.<br /> I am about as bodycon as Twiggy, but have learned to like wearing tube skirts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-about-as-boho-as-karl-lagerfeld#post-1652272 Thu, 28 Apr 2016 23:55:48 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1652272@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha hahahahaha! Thanks for the chuckle, Angie. <br />You're still not all that boho, but certainly these items count as a few touches of boho. . . . Hmm, I might call your boho "curated." </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-about-as-boho-as-karl-lagerfeld#post-1652243 Thu, 28 Apr 2016 23:27:41 +0000 Cococat 1652243@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Go Angie! I wear weekend boho a lot and i have a sleek straight concave bob. I havent tried flares yet...I'm resisting...and not sure why. Maybe i need a try on session. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-about-as-boho-as-karl-lagerfeld#post-1652231 Thu, 28 Apr 2016 23:16:21 +0000 Aida 1652231@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hah nice one Angie ^^ YES I felt maybe some boho-lite would through when we first got the Love Story flares (even though you were wearing them more glam-styled), and then the eyelet peplum was a fun surprise! I change my mind about fashion things all the time, it's part of the fun Nothing drastic recently, just continuing my very slow move towards more pretty and a little more classic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-about-as-boho-as-karl-lagerfeld#post-1652090 Thu, 28 Apr 2016 19:38:51 +0000 Ledonna N. 1652090@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I remember that too Angie the white one because it it's peplum was to my eye not in the right place. Lol. You broke the whole peplum structure down foe me into human bite size chunks. Lol. Now I understand this one at least. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-about-as-boho-as-karl-lagerfeld#post-1652007 Thu, 28 Apr 2016 17:28:33 +0000 rabbit 1652007@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've changed my mind about cropped straights and flares. &nbsp;</p> <p>Unfortunately, both the jeans I cut off (flared light wash, straight dark wash) aren't really working, because I'm realizing I want a crisper bottom definition to the pant leg and they tend to flop and stretch -- so I'm feeling chopper's remorse. &nbsp; A hemmed pair I bought seems just the thing though.</p> <p>Also like you and Tanya, I'm attracted to the prettiness of boho lite tops, but prefer a heavy dose of structure in the rest of the outfit for me to feel comfortable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-about-as-boho-as-karl-lagerfeld#post-1651988 Thu, 28 Apr 2016 17:04:35 +0000 rachylou 1651988@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a good line, Angie!</p> <p>I've 'turned' against a lot of styles and only came to boyfriends last year when I saw a pair with patchwork. I have also accepted leggings as pants, mostly due to working in the bakery. I think the biggest thing now is, pretty feminine florals and ruffles. I was trying to get rid of those, and now I want them back... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-about-as-boho-as-karl-lagerfeld#post-1651982 Thu, 28 Apr 2016 16:57:50 +0000 skylurker 1651982@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>"Boho boneyards", lol, I love how you write, Beth Ann.</p> <p>Yes, you're as boho as the Kaiser, Angie. You don't look boho even when you wear boho items. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-about-as-boho-as-karl-lagerfeld#post-1651970 Thu, 28 Apr 2016 16:36:54 +0000 milehighstyle (Linda) 1651970@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I've changed my mind about cropped flares and cropped pants in general after seeing on YLF that they can look modern and cool and not frumpy if proper attention is paid to the fit and styling.&nbsp; I've also changed my mind about being a forever short haired girl and am growing it long (of course it is only chin length right now so may only be a matter of time before I decide it's too much work and run to my stylist to chop it off). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-about-as-boho-as-karl-lagerfeld#post-1651965 Thu, 28 Apr 2016 16:31:42 +0000 Anonymous 1651965@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Boho just doesn't speak to me. &nbsp; </p> <p>Lite versus light depends on your area of the world. &nbsp;Both are correct. &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-about-as-boho-as-karl-lagerfeld#post-1651958 Thu, 28 Apr 2016 16:21:19 +0000 krishnidoux 1651958@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>RE: Boho-Lite/Light, couldn't say...<br />RE: short hair and peasant blouse: because of the 1970 hair parted in the middle cliché, I think we tend to associate an expansive, frilly peasant blouse with long locks flowing down. That is why wearing it with very short hair creates a surprise, a new look I think. You can play with earrings scarves and/or hats? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-about-as-boho-as-karl-lagerfeld#post-1651954 Thu, 28 Apr 2016 16:08:14 +0000 Angie 1651954@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Btw, is it Boho-Lite or Boho-Light?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-about-as-boho-as-karl-lagerfeld#post-1651953 Thu, 28 Apr 2016 16:07:11 +0000 Angie 1651953@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Krish (and Lisa), never thought about the juxtaposition of short hair and boho blouses. Another interesting assessment.&nbsp;</p> <p>Muffin, you're wearing flared crops (perhaps you can connive Krish!) - next easy step is soft boho-light blouses. DO IT.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-about-as-boho-as-karl-lagerfeld#post-1651951 Thu, 28 Apr 2016 16:00:53 +0000 krishnidoux 1651951@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad to see you changed your mind, Angie. Boho likes you. There is something very fresh about very short hair and peasant blouses. &nbsp;</p> <p>Me, still need to change my mind about </p> <p>cropped flared pants.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-about-as-boho-as-karl-lagerfeld#post-1651950 Thu, 28 Apr 2016 16:00:23 +0000 Muffin 1651950@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can very much relate. Looking through all the finds this morning and having spent a bit of time trying on blouses yesterday at Anthropologie, I'm very much attracted to the softness, lightness, and prettiness (particularly in spring and summer) but I have a hard time reconciling it with my more classic style and hourglass/pear shape. I do love your blouses because as Lisa pointed out there is a crispness to them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-about-as-boho-as-karl-lagerfeld#post-1651947 Thu, 28 Apr 2016 15:57:55 +0000 Angie 1651947@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Helena, I try to practice what I preach.
