When the weather cools down I'll see if I wear it again. &nbsp;In the meantime, I still want it. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-boho-side#post-938571 Wed, 22 May 2013 01:35:49 +0000 Angie 938571@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Actually, Rachy's "demotion stage" was in my head and I forgot to mention that as the next step, Firecracker. <br /><br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-boho-side#post-938566 Wed, 22 May 2013 01:24:14 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 938566@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Karie, Pil, nancylee, Shevia, thanks!<br />Beth Ann, you hit the nail on the head. And I think I am doing pretty well at keeping new purchases headed in the right style direction for me.<br />Joy, I love the Cafe Gratitiude link--what a fun place! I'm smiling. I'd like to visit KC again sometime. <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-boho-side#post-938563 Wed, 22 May 2013 01:16:50 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 938563@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks for your thoughts! <br />Angie, I like the idea of "a little while longer." <br />Rachylou, your demotion stage is a great way to think of it. <br />Caro and Ceit, this is definitely in the at-home realm. Although I did wear it out of the house. <br />Mo, yes, exactly, my moods can swing quite a bit fashion-wise!<br />Kellygirl, thanks for your comments on the outfit, too!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-boho-side#post-938551 Wed, 22 May 2013 01:02:12 +0000 Anonymous 938551@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Firecracker, I totally understand your boho side. The design on your top would be right at home on a pencil skirt this season. I would wear this to the Saturday morning Farmers Market or for a lunch at Cafe Gratitude.</p> <a href="http://cafegratitudekc.com/" rel="nofollow">http://cafegratitudekc.com/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-boho-side#post-938541 Wed, 22 May 2013 00:53:49 +0000 Jaime 938541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ What Beth Ann (and everyone else) said! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-boho-side#post-938538 Wed, 22 May 2013 00:50:42 +0000 Beth Ann 938538@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Unless space is an issue, I think keeping items like this is perfectly fine.&nbsp; The look is easy and the print is fun.&nbsp; Why not?&nbsp; I would just watch that you don't buy new items that represent where you've been, but purchase only items that represent where you want to go.<br /><br />Pardon me while I repeat that for myself...........(lol)<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-boho-side#post-938536 Wed, 22 May 2013 00:48:30 +0000 nancylee 938536@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Good for you! &nbsp;I have a few boho tunics/kurtas that I wear only when I'm at a yoga retreat or feeling very introspective. &nbsp;Usually they&nbsp;just hang unworn in my closet, but I like seeing them there.<br /><br />Like Angie said, if an item makes you feel good or gives you comfort it can have a special&nbsp;place in your wardrobe. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-boho-side#post-938531 Wed, 22 May 2013 00:39:45 +0000 pil 938531@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like a perfect day for this outfit, I really like it too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-boho-side#post-938526 Wed, 22 May 2013 00:30:45 +0000 Karie 938526@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I also have some outfits that fit into that category. Sometimes I like to wear them for a stay-at-home casual day. I say keep! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-boho-side#post-938493 Tue, 21 May 2013 23:37:40 +0000 kellygirl 938493@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Definitely! I have items that I don't wear often but that feel like me when I actually do wear them. The tunic looks great and I love that easy, casual vibe this whole outfit conveys. You look pulled together and stylish and I think the tunic should stay! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-boho-side#post-938469 Tue, 21 May 2013 23:06:19 +0000 Mo 938469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I have a few things that aren't expressly my style that I still enjoy wearing from time to time, depending on my mood. &nbsp;Some days I feel a little artier than others or sometimes maybe more sophisticated, etc. &nbsp;I like having the options to express how I feel when it's not my norm. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-boho-side#post-938432 Tue, 21 May 2013 22:24:30 +0000 Anonymous 938432@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, that is what I would do too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-boho-side#post-938425 Tue, 21 May 2013 22:15:38 +0000 Caro in Oz 938425@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I do the same as rachylou - keep them for at home. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-boho-side#post-938418 Tue, 21 May 2013 22:09:17 +0000 rachylou 938418@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I do have a demotion stage, when clothes become "at home" wear. (By that I mean, I don't wear them to work.)<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-boho-side#post-938393 Tue, 21 May 2013 21:37:46 +0000 Angie 938393@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ If these items make you happy on a day like today - they are worth holding onto for a little while longer :)<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-boho-side#post-938390 Tue, 21 May 2013 21:31:36 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 938390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Here's what I'm wearing, for hanging out on a cool (even chilly), drizzly day. <br /><br />Hooded tunic sweater, off-white with tattoo print, embroidery, and some crystals thrown in (Spy Zone Exchange)<br />Scoop neck 3/4 tee in light blue (Three Dots)<br />Bootcut jeans (Red Engine)<br />Black ballet flats with elastic straps (Gentle Souls)<br />Dangly silver earrings with blue stone; one is kind of turned sideways in the photo--oops<br />Jade beaded friendship bracelet<br /><br />This is a comfy outfit, but a style that I'm trying to migrate away from. My goal is to lean a bit more sophisticated, though I certainly don't mind mixing in boho elements. I've thought about letting the tunic go, as I don't wear it often anymore, and it is getting a bit pilled. But then occasionally, like today, it just feels like what I want to wear. Not sure why. Same with the shoes--I'm finding I don't "need" these casual ballet flats as much as I did when I first bought them, but they seemed the right choice for this offbeat outfit today.&nbsp; <br /><br />Do you have items like that? Ones that don't quite feel like your style but that you do find yourself reaching for once in a blue moon? Should they be allowed a place in our closets?<br /><br />Thanks for looking! I'm interested in hearing your thoughts on these sorts of near-orphans. <br /><br />
