Most things come back in style a few years later so holding on to them, especially classic pieces, are definitely worth keeping.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---black-boho-an-old-outfit#post-1269792 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 00:58:15 +0000 Aida 1269792@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Boho, breezy, and cool! I see the same as many, that this is a classic boho look. The skirt is really lovely, and so is the sentiment behind it. I quite like the styling here, especially the metallic sandals. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---black-boho-an-old-outfit#post-1269383 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 17:33:23 +0000 rae 1269383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think boho has taken enough of a hold that it is pretty timeless nowadays. Pairing it with a minimal top and simple accessories keeps it in step with <i>your</i> current style. I am highly impressed that you 1) have stuff from 8 years ago that fits, and 2) that you made it look totally now.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---black-boho-an-old-outfit#post-1269362 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 17:13:16 +0000 Suz 1269362@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous on you, Janet. And classic, not dated. When done well, this kind of look never, ever gets old. And you've done it brilliantly. I love that the skirt is from a shopping trip with your mother.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---black-boho-an-old-outfit#post-1269285 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 16:12:58 +0000 Lisa 1269285@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with others that this looks like a classic boho look.&nbsp; And I think it could be lovely mixed with a white top, or maybe a chambray shirt tied at the waist? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---black-boho-an-old-outfit#post-1269196 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 14:51:35 +0000 Elizabeth P 1269196@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMGoodness, I thought I'd commented on this - I certainly saw it!&nbsp; I love it.&nbsp; I don't know if it's "current" either, but certainly not dated or old.&nbsp; A cool summer classic, imho. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---black-boho-an-old-outfit#post-1269180 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 14:37:18 +0000 neonginger 1269180@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the skirt!

Everything else is simple and sleek, so I think that's why it works so well, sleek tank, necklace, sandals. I love how your blue nails tie into the skirt colours! It looks cool and breezy to me. Good thoughts here on current-ness....</p> <p>For the record, when I was in Nordies last weekend, the SA handed me a long black flowy skirt very similar to yours to try on. She said they were literally flying out the door due to comfort and the cool-factor (this was in Vegas). It was uber über comfy but for me in Vancouver not really something I need (it would just get wet </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---black-boho-an-old-outfit#post-1269144 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 13:56:39 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1269144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this on you Janet.

YLF! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---black-boho-an-old-outfit#post-1268669 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 00:04:08 +0000 MsLuna 1268669@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet, you look FABULOUS in this outfit! Bonus that it's sentimental as well. The silhouette, the colour, the print really works well with you. I haven't seen you in anything boho before but somehow this outfit just seems so harmonious on you.</p> <p>With regards to your concern about being "current" or "dated" - that's in the back of my head all the time. I'm a dress-lover, so I'm always concerned whether I border the line of "matronly" with regards to the prints and cuts I wear. I'm also a fan of long over lean and in the sea of boyfriend jeans (not a trend I'm crazy about despite trying really hard - sorry FABBERS!) I feel so outdated in my voluminous tunics and skinny tall-boot-clad looks. </p> <p>You mentioned you want to start a thread about "current-ness". PLEASE DO! I would really love to read what other's perspective is about this! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---black-boho-an-old-outfit#post-1268658 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 23:41:36 +0000 Caro in Oz 1268658@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the outfit. It looks fab as is &amp; I'd also love to see it with a coloured top, do you have a similar style of top in one of the colours in the skirt? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---black-boho-an-old-outfit#post-1268651 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 23:26:13 +0000 deb 1268651@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---black-boho-an-old-outfit#post-1268549 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 22:09:03 +0000 Angie 1268549@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a classic boho look that is always in style. Super breezy and effective. Thumbs up from me too. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---black-boho-an-old-outfit#post-1268532 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 21:55:18 +0000 texstyle 1268532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with the others - this outfit is really great on you. I think the colors, textures, shine and all are just spot on perfect.&nbsp; Love it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---black-boho-an-old-outfit#post-1268465 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 20:41:24 +0000 JG 1268465@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look lovely in your well - loved skirt and well - chosen top and sandals. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---black-boho-an-old-outfit#post-1268462 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 20:38:14 +0000 Astrid 1268462@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is great! I'm with Ornella on this one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---black-boho-an-old-outfit#post-1268457 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 20:34:53 +0000 Peri 1268457@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is boho done right! One of my words is artsy, which is just this side of boho, cause I feel like I can't quite pull off boho without looking costumey and overdone. I love how you've done this simply, with the plain tank taming down the skirt. Great!</p> <p>And the other thread, yes let's talk. I think my very first post on YLF was whether something was dated if it just wasn't in style, and how to tell the difference between dated and non-trendy. A year and few later, I still can't figure that out! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---black-boho-an-old-outfit#post-1268424 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 19:58:35 +0000 TraceyLiz65 1268424@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These boho skirts are timeless in my world anyway.... I love this one and the way you've styled it with the longer more fitted top and the flat sandals...&nbsp;<br />I think you have really hit the right note with the idea not being so much about being current, but the balance of not dressing 'old'. &nbsp;There is no sign of that description in your style, so rest assured you are succeeding in that goal!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---black-boho-an-old-outfit#post-1268399 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 19:31:14 +0000 Ornella 1268399@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Please do start a thread. There's a lot to explore on the subject.</p> <p>Personally, I never described myself as trendy for myriad of reasons. I do come here for education on what's modern take on things I like, but I draw so much&nbsp;joy from something I feel strongly about when I wear it (this includes sentimental pieces like your skirt), or when I suddenly see my existing pieces in a new light,&nbsp;that I don't feel left out&nbsp;just because I'm not incorporating trends.</p> <p>A few years ago I heard&nbsp;one of the best statements. It&nbsp;came from&nbsp;Imelda May whose style, and personality, I adore. When interviewed about her album the reporter also made a comment about her fabulous retro look being very fashionable. He said "You tapped into trends very well" to what&nbsp;she answered "The trends tapped into me. This is what I've always looked like." That's been at the back of my mind ever since. I love the idea of looking certain way and trends being just something that intersect with that look occasionally.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---black-boho-an-old-outfit#post-1268349 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 18:25:22 +0000 Janet 1268349@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aw, thank you Ornella and Neel!&nbsp;</p> <p>Putting on this outfit and stepping out the door in it got me thinking about how caught up I can get in worrying that something looks "current." When the reality is that I just don't want to look "dated" or "old." Even though these pieces are far from new, they don't feel dated or old to me, so I went with it. I suspect I'll be musing more -- perhaps in a new thread -- on the "current" issue. But now I need to get back to work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---black-boho-an-old-outfit#post-1268307 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 17:39:38 +0000 Neel 1268307@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is so fresh and fun, Janet! Pretty skirt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---black-boho-an-old-outfit#post-1268300 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 17:32:08 +0000 Ornella 1268300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've not read beyond the first line. And after seeing the photos, I really couldn't care less whether it's current or not. You look stunning. The pieces are great, you shine in them. Gorgeous. </p>
