Everyone else said it so well....and I love your idea that western style can pair well with boho when done right. </p> <p>DH has a collection of really nice bolo ties he inherited from his Dad that I've wanted to try to wear...they are like jewelry.....this gives me an idea. (His dad spent his retirement in Arizona and bought the bolos then)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/restrained-boho-wiw-428/page/2#post-1652600 Fri, 29 Apr 2016 16:21:04 +0000 Anonymous 1652600@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like your comment on balancing the boho look -- peasant blouses can be too much fabric for me sometimes so I gravitate to those blouses that have a v-neck, no elastic wrist cuffs that pile up fabric between the shoulder and wrist and any blouse that accentuates the hips. &nbsp;So your blouse would potentially not work for me but ON YOU, it looks so soft and feminine. &nbsp;The choice of color has something to do with that and the type of fabric. &nbsp;Then, you added those dynamite sandals and it just says, hey, I like who I am; let's have some fun today.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/restrained-boho-wiw-428/page/2#post-1652574 Fri, 29 Apr 2016 15:30:01 +0000 Jenn 1652574@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I came in to respond to this earlier, Lisa, but then I read your offhand comment about Vivian sounding like your mother and it just gutted me. Man, you never know when it's going to hit, do you?</p> <p>I really like the whole concept of "restrained boho" because easy breeziness really feels right as the weather warms up, but most of us who aren't Stevie Nicks can't pull off even trying to be Stevie Nicks, if you know what I mean. I think your jewelry really helps a lot here, because it's so simple and modern. Those are really great pieces... bold, without being over the top. Aida's earring suggestion is a good one, too! Just as you are here is fine, though. You look both pulled-together and relaxed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/restrained-boho-wiw-428#post-1652571 Fri, 29 Apr 2016 15:21:00 +0000 Anonymous 1652571@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Colette - et al - I think you're right: &nbsp;no topper is needed, and if anything it could be a poncho or wrap. &nbsp;Vests are too derivative here I think . &nbsp;<b>Anyways - thanks everyone for your kind comments : my take-away here is to ramp up the earring look for this type of outfit .</b>......I think that's a good thing !&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/restrained-boho-wiw-428#post-1652543 Fri, 29 Apr 2016 14:32:16 +0000 Colette 1652543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look beautiful, so well put together and totally cool as usual. That blouse is what I love to wear in the warmer weather. And heels that are comfy, for the win. But I hear you about a topper and the billowy sleeves, I usually only wear this type of blouse when I don't really need a topper which means they don't get much wear, because I'm always cold. But, I've been paying attention to see how others top off this type of blouse and it is usually some type of Ruana/Poncho thing or very loose coat. What about a long sleeveless vest? And I was thinking that a belt might help anchor the elastic waist??? You would have to experiment though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/restrained-boho-wiw-428#post-1652519 Fri, 29 Apr 2016 13:25:35 +0000 Sara L. 1652519@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look great!&nbsp; I figure that in the summer the third piece is my jewelry or shoes.&nbsp; It gets too hot for an actual third piece of clothing so accessories have to do.&nbsp; I think your jewelry and shoes bring that extra bit of oomph to this outfit that&nbsp;makes it look special. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/restrained-boho-wiw-428#post-1652509 Fri, 29 Apr 2016 13:20:20 +0000 Anonymous 1652509@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous look Lisa.

I love the bracelet too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/restrained-boho-wiw-428#post-1652377 Fri, 29 Apr 2016 02:24:19 +0000 Brooklyn 1652377@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look lovely as is. But I think the topper issue is tricky. I was saying in Angie's thread that I am off peasant blouses and I think this is one of the reasons. The sleeves kind of gather up when you wear a jacket. And sometimes to my eye the tassle neckline clashes with the clean lines of a jacket. I think this is a style best worn solo, as you have here. All fab with the shoes, bracelet and big cuff. And you are very lucky that you can wear that colour blouse. You blondes have all the fun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/restrained-boho-wiw-428#post-1652360 Fri, 29 Apr 2016 01:52:13 +0000 Anonymous 1652360@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like this outfit. The top is full-on boho, but you've dialed it way down with normal pants and trendy shoes.<br /> I am as stumped as you are about the third piece....maybe a fishtale anorak? No. I'm sorry I have no ideas! But I do like it on its own.</p> <p>I really like your bracelets. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/restrained-boho-wiw-428#post-1652332 Fri, 29 Apr 2016 01:16:33 +0000 Aquamarine 1652332@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great outfit....you've nailed boho lite. That bracelet is so interesting. I find it quite stunning. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/restrained-boho-wiw-428#post-1652330 Fri, 29 Apr 2016 01:14:11 +0000 Anonymous 1652330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aha, Angie - short and boxy would be great, wouldn't it? &nbsp;I have a navy leather that would work here. But , for summer, I think I'll just go as it, or with a very plain soft linen wrap. Or perhaps I'll never wear it again - there's always that - lol.</p> <p>Oh Vivian - you sound like my mother, whose name was Vivian, and who I miss very much . &nbsp;Thank you . &nbsp;How did I ever survive without these type of sandals? I have these taupe ones and a black pair and it's all I want to wear &nbsp;</p> <p>And Aida - of course you are right, and now I'm obsessed with big glam earrings again . Must see what's out there next time I'm jewellery shopping. Could be fun for summer. I have a pair of gold leather Nickel and Suede ones (a few of us bought them last summer) that would work here too.....I don't know, with short hair, sometimes big earrings can look wrong . &nbsp;Tough one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/restrained-boho-wiw-428#post-1652327 Fri, 29 Apr 2016 01:10:20 +0000 Tanya 1652327@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such a lovely outfit, and what a great top find.&nbsp; The modern sandals and jeans are the perfect counterpart. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/restrained-boho-wiw-428#post-1652319 Fri, 29 Apr 2016 00:59:31 +0000 viva 1652319@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this on you! The top is so soft and really accents how pretty you are, and I think it goes so well with those awesome laced sandals (can't wait to get mine out soon). Love the big cuff as always. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/restrained-boho-wiw-428#post-1652306 Fri, 29 Apr 2016 00:40:19 +0000 marianna 1652306@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So pretty!

LOVE. You look sooo pretty.&nbsp;</p> <p>As for toppers, I wear boxy short jackets or denim jackets over my boho blouses. These two are my current faves.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/restrained-boho-wiw-428#post-1652262 Thu, 28 Apr 2016 23:47:14 +0000 Aida 1652262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hah well they don't have to be quite so big! My hair hides most of them, anyway I just mean something larger and skewing glam to act as a third-piece-ish finishing sort of thing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/restrained-boho-wiw-428#post-1652251 Thu, 28 Apr 2016 23:34:50 +0000 Anonymous 1652251@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Angie</b> - the jewellery line is Spanish and is sold at higher end boutiques/department stores. It's pretty $$ - the one bracelet I'm wearing retails for about $400. Many of the pieces also incorporate leather....</p> <p>Thanks <b>Aida</b> - the days of 3 inch hoops are over for me &nbsp;;) but yes, those would absolutely finish the outfit off too. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/restrained-boho-wiw-428#post-1652248 Thu, 28 Apr 2016 23:31:36 +0000 abc 1652248@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it! I like the jeans big cuff too. </p> <p>As you know I'm based in Mexico. I recall seeing that line recently but can't remember where it was. Anyway ... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/restrained-boho-wiw-428#post-1652242 Thu, 28 Apr 2016 23:27:28 +0000 Aida 1652242@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh! This is a a lovely little look Lisa. A nice way to boho-lite; the final vine isn't really that boho, just a bit romantic, and still feels Lisa-like with the cuffed jeans and cool sandals. Also the very tidy make up helps there too. If I were wearing this, I wouldn't opt for a third piece (jacket, scarf, etc.) but <i>would </i>opt for big statement earrings (probably my giant gold hoops, you know those 3ish" ones I wear all the time).</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/restrained-boho-wiw-428#post-1652228 Thu, 28 Apr 2016 23:09:07 +0000 Anonymous 1652228@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I intentionally went non-boho with the other pieces for that very reason. On someone my age, it verges into costume territory when you go full boho. &nbsp;Stop me before I add in turquoise eyeshadow . &nbsp; &nbsp;God forbid - lol. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/restrained-boho-wiw-428#post-1652213 Thu, 28 Apr 2016 22:59:37 +0000 jill58 1652213@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That blouse looks great and I love the sandals. I'm not sure that you need a third piece. I have to restrain my boho impulses too. Growing up in the 60's and 70's I have a tendency to gravitate there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/restrained-boho-wiw-428#post-1652211 Thu, 28 Apr 2016 22:58:22 +0000 Helena 1652211@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just pondering third pieces now ... Wondering if the elastic waist almost serves the function, in that it creates the same effect as a belt or, in a way, a jacket, would ... Just pondering as I procrastinate on dinner dishes ... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/restrained-boho-wiw-428#post-1652209 Thu, 28 Apr 2016 22:54:51 +0000 Cococat 1652209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this look Lisa. It's my kind of weekend look and when the weather finally cools down I'll be wearing something similar. My third piece would be a fringey suede bag or a narrow scarf tied high around my neck. Sorry to make it all about me! You look fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/restrained-boho-wiw-428#post-1652208 Thu, 28 Apr 2016 22:50:29 +0000 ma 1652208@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a very pretty spring outfit. You look gorgeous! I agree with others that no 3rd piece is needed.</p> <p>And, are there really cotton blouses at H&amp;M? I was just in there, i didnt see this one, but everything I picked up was poly...i may have to go back. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/restrained-boho-wiw-428#post-1652207 Thu, 28 Apr 2016 22:49:43 +0000 Anonymous 1652207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nope - not always , but I am conscious of it in terms of really making an "outfit" out of something. &nbsp;I don't think a necklace works with this blouse because of the ties/keyhole opening /elastic at the waist. But good - if this works, I'm happy with it! &nbsp;It's comfy, although I constantly pulled down the top all day - elastic wanting to creep up. &nbsp;Ideally, the top wouldn't have an elastic waist, but for $35, I don't care :)&nbsp; </p>
