Just wanted to say that I thought this outfit was fantastic! Both ways! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-venture-into-boho-land/page/2#post-950447 Fri, 07 Jun 2013 02:04:01 +0000 Krista 950447@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ingunn, I preferred version 2 of this outfit - the jeans really bring it all together! You do boho very well - maybe it's okay to add it as a part-time descriptor! :)<br />ps. &nbsp;what about swapping out your sandals for your white cons? super cool! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-venture-into-boho-land/page/2#post-950387 Fri, 07 Jun 2013 00:48:00 +0000 Sveta 950387@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha, Angie stole it from me: I also like outfit with jeans better than without!<br />&lt;here I am typing with freezing fingers&nbsp; -where is that summer?&gt; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-venture-into-boho-land#post-950383 Fri, 07 Jun 2013 00:42:46 +0000 chewyspaghetti 950383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-venture-into-boho-land#post-950195 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 20:29:16 +0000 nancylee 950195@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really love this look on you, Ingunn! &nbsp;It's so fun. &nbsp;I have a few longer tunic-type dresses that I wear as tops over pants just like this. &nbsp;It's a chic look, IMO. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-venture-into-boho-land#post-950151 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 19:08:08 +0000 rachylou 950151@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cu-ute!

And I prefer it with the jeans too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-venture-into-boho-land#post-950053 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 17:45:49 +0000 Ingunn 950053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, everyone! All your comments about the dress has made me like it &nbsp;more again, so it stays for this season at least. T-Rex, I'm very impressed by all your styling&nbsp;suggestions! Several of them really appeal to me. I think navy would be a no-brainer with it, maybe as a tank underneath and combined with dark jeans and blue Chucks. <i>That</i> would definitely also be a very suitable Norwegian Summer attire.&nbsp;</p> <p>Una and Mona - a touch of India is also a very welcome addition to my wardrobe. I think I understand what you mean.&nbsp;</p> <p>Cinnamon fern, I agree, Summer time is&nbsp;boho time!</p> <p>Texstyle and Claire: A good quality garment is always worth taking good care of, and this one is definitely going to last. If the shape is classic enough, and I believe it is, I think I will hold on to it as long as I can renew it a little from time to time - like today, with the white jeans.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-venture-into-boho-land#post-950037 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 17:31:36 +0000 T-Rex 950037@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like that dress. I see it as the classic side of boho. It looks summery enough to wear with just sandals, but the "linen" color allows you to wear it with more wintery colors as well. I think it would look great with browns or blue denim. I think it would also take well to touches of color in beads, bangles, or a vest. The green bracely looks good alone, but would also work if you invited "friends" to the color party. You could also layer a cami under it, for a touch of color at the neckline. I also envision it with neutral accessories...brown beads and bangles in various shades, maybe with some brass if you want to add metal to the mix. I also like it with the white jeans, although I'm still getting used to seeing various shades of white and cream together. It looks like a good combo to wear when the season is spring and the sun is shining, but it's not quite warm enough for too much bare skin. I can also see it with brown boots, sans tights. Maybe with an earthy colored sock scrunched a bit and peeking out the top of the boot. </p> <p>In short, it's too versatile not to keep it. And it' isn't too "boho" as long as you don't add too much to it. Although there's no reason a classic dresser can't take a boho vacation every now and then. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-venture-into-boho-land#post-949996 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 16:45:24 +0000 catgirl 949996@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was going to say what Mona said&nbsp;- this has an Indian look that totally appeals to me!&nbsp; In fact, it's my favorite of your combos this week, and that is saying something because all were gorgeous... I love a dress that doubles as a tunic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-venture-into-boho-land#post-949992 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 16:43:38 +0000 cinnamon fern 949992@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like this dress, and I really like it on you. &nbsp;As for whether you should keep it - well, that depends on whether you feel like yourself in it. &nbsp;But don't purge on the basis of what it _looks_ like!</p> <p>I think summer is definitely the season to let a bit of boho out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-venture-into-boho-land#post-949948 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 16:00:15 +0000 rute 949948@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous! Love this kind of dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-venture-into-boho-land#post-949945 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 15:56:08 +0000 texstyle 949945@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually really like this linen dress. It is a departure but not in an extreme way. I think it's hard to find good linen items that stand the test of time - and it looks great either way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-venture-into-boho-land#post-949942 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 15:52:25 +0000 Anonymous 949942@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can see why you like that dress Ingunn. The fabric looks so cool and soft (not that you needed to keep cool today, lol)! Even though it's slightly boho, I quite like it. It looks ideal for at-home wear, and before culling it, I'd consider it as a beach cover-up or even as a nightgown if you decide after today that it's not quite where you want to go with your style.&nbsp;</p> <p>It looks great with the turquoise cuff and denim jacket, and I like it with and without the white jeans. Fab!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-venture-into-boho-land#post-949911 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 15:02:15 +0000 Angie 949911@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your heat and sun came to Seattle!!! Thank you :)</p> <p>Fabulous! Quite fun to see you in boho, Ingunn. You wear the look&nbsp;well.&nbsp;Can I say that I prefer the outfit WITH the white jeans? Loving the turquoise accents.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-venture-into-boho-land#post-949854 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 14:02:04 +0000 Deborah 949854@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the jeans version but no so crazy about it as worn in #1. The jeans add interest and bring a touch of modern to the boho vibe:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-venture-into-boho-land#post-949848 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 13:59:01 +0000 Ingunn 949848@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Shannon! I actually feel quite good in it. I think the fact that the jeans are white makes the difference for me. I like the low contrast, and I like the texture of&nbsp;denim and linen together, too.</p> <p>Liz, me too! I wouldn't thought so in advance either.&nbsp;</p> <p>Ruthe, thank you for being so supportive, you are too kind! I liked the lite-colored jeans with it a lot, too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-venture-into-boho-land#post-949810 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 13:23:04 +0000 ruthe 949810@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I chuckled when I read your solution concerning the modification to your dress. I adore that linen tunic/dress. I'd wear it in a heartbeat and I do like how you paired it with the lite-colored jeans. You have a good eye for these things IMO, so you know if this makes you comfortable or not. At any rate, you look superb! Always. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-venture-into-boho-land#post-949803 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 13:18:29 +0000 Liz A. 949803@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I thought I would hate it with the jeans, but surprisingly I prefer it!&nbsp; I guess time will tell if the dress gets a pass... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-venture-into-boho-land#post-949800 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 13:15:21 +0000 Transcona Shannon 949800@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this dress both ways Ingunn although it is not quite your usual style and does have a hint of boho. But I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing - sometimes it's nice to wear something a little less predictable and easy to throw on, you know? How did you feel in the outfit? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-venture-into-boho-land#post-949798 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 13:11:55 +0000 Ingunn 949798@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shevia, you are right! I am not as happy about this as with many of my usual outfits. Wearing the dress is a way to test drive&nbsp;it - will I keep it or not. I am surprised to learn that I like it <i>better</i> with the jeans than without, which I wouldn't have thought in &nbsp;advance. The style descriptor is a guideline, and definitely not a rule, I agree wholeheartedly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-venture-into-boho-land#post-949792 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 13:06:11 +0000 Jaime 949792@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the problem is not how you look, which is great as usual, but that you are not really happy with the style. You certainly aren't locked into your style descriptor for every outfit but it sounds like you weren't so happy wearing this and that seems like a good reason not to! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-venture-into-boho-land#post-949790 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 13:02:27 +0000 Ingunn 949790@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Suz. I would probably not&nbsp;have worn this to work, but for a day in my home office it is quite comfortable. The dress is a couple of years old, and I can't make up my mind about it. It <i>is</i> convenient for Norwegian weather, which probably gives it another chance this year&nbsp;in my book. But the style is not a fav. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-venture-into-boho-land#post-949786 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 12:57:44 +0000 Anonymous 949786@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know, I can't believe it is so cold. It was 6C here last night! My poor plants don't know what to think. And then with the return of muggy next week, we are going to be roasting! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-venture-into-boho-land#post-949784 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 12:56:04 +0000 Suz 949784@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are so clever to pair this with your jeans in the cold!&nbsp;</p> <p>I like this for a casual day, Ingunn, and do think it fits your descriptor -- and without the jeans it works, too, although I can see how you are moving away from that boho look towards crisper, more classic styles. But something like this is useful in summer. Or, ugh, in what <i>ought</i> to be summer! &nbsp;(Freezing here today, too....) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-venture-into-boho-land#post-949783 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 12:55:57 +0000 Ingunn 949783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everyone! I guess it wasn't a complete miss, then.&nbsp;<br />Mona, it's really annoying with cold weather in June, isn't it?&nbsp;<br />Harmonica, I'm gald you like the cuff!<br />Ceit, I'm glad you liked it!<br />Tracey, that is a really good question. I think it deserves a new thread, in fact.&nbsp;<br />Elisabeth, no other qualifications are needed than your general sense of style I appreciate your detailed feedback very much.&nbsp;<br />Eliza, those ideas are great! Thanks - I'll see what options I already have.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-venture-into-boho-land#post-949759 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 12:40:47 +0000 Eliza 949759@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it with the jeans. To play up the chic in your descriptors, perhaps a structured&nbsp;satchel&nbsp;or clutch would be fun. &nbsp;The cuff looks great! Your sandals don't read boho to me and "edgy" footwear would change it up also.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-venture-into-boho-land#post-949757 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 12:39:36 +0000 Elizabeth P 949757@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't feel "qualified" to comment on whether or not this fits your style descriptor, and I suspect by the end of the day how you feel in it will help you determine that.&nbsp; But I can say that I love it, and think it looks great on you, both with and without the jeans.&nbsp; I think this would be a workhorse for someone who works at home and wants to be stylish and comfy at the same time. &nbsp; My fav is bare legs with the jean jacket.&nbsp; It would also look great with leggings.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-venture-into-boho-land#post-949756 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 12:39:23 +0000 TraceyLiz65 949756@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do you have to meet all 5 of your descriptors with every look? &nbsp;Or can Playful and Simple work for you at times? &nbsp; This is unstrutured and fun. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-venture-into-boho-land#post-949753 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 12:35:21 +0000 Anonymous 949753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it with the jeans!
