Great look and that coat looks comfy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-boho-friday#post-1430246 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 19:49:20 +0000 Anonymous 1430246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, that Peruvian sweater is just fab, as is the fabric of you pants. What a great look. BTW I really like the way you tucked your hair, makes for a more edgy effect IMO </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-boho-friday#post-1430144 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 17:08:42 +0000 Suz 1430144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely gorgeous. I love the texture rich mix. You are a very stylish woman!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-boho-friday#post-1430133 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 16:51:34 +0000 approprio 1430133@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone for your generous&nbsp;feedback! <b>Shipskitty</b>, ain't that the truth about hair and glasses? <b>Viva,&nbsp;</b>you're right, it looks a bit like a barrette, and it acts like one too! Pants are cotton twill with a metallic coating which is showing the wear. I think I might start putting them in the freezer instead of the washing machine.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Shevia, MuseumGal, quietgirl, Angie... </b>now I'm&nbsp;intrigued by&nbsp;the&nbsp;varying interpretations of boho. I called it thus&nbsp;because the patterned knit/metallic pants/vintage coat combo&nbsp;has a beatnik glam vibe in my opinion.&nbsp;But now I see that&nbsp;Wikipedia makes a distinction between <a rel="nofollow" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bohemian_style">"bohemian style"</a> and <a rel="nofollow" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boho-chic">"boho chic"</a>, so it seems the definition is flexible. I'd certainly claim the first for this look, the second not so much.</p> <p>Oh my. Now I'm confused.&nbsp;Like I couldn't overthink these things any more than I already do.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-boho-friday#post-1430086 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 15:21:27 +0000 Angie 1430086@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FABULOUS.&nbsp;</p> <p>I love the way you toughened up the boho with a bit of hard edge. And the colours of the jumper are&nbsp;magnificent with your hair.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-boho-friday#post-1430021 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 14:05:22 +0000 Quietgirl 1430021@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with MuseumGal. It is a great look! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-boho-friday#post-1430013 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 13:52:12 +0000 MuseumGal 1430013@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Actually I think you look very modern (not boho), and very fab.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-boho-friday#post-1429974 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 12:47:20 +0000 Jaime 1429974@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those glasses are gorgeous. Whatever you need to do with your hair is worth it. Love the metallic pants also. The coat was well worth the effort you put into it. I don't really see this as boho so much as eclectic and you - meant as a compliment of course! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-boho-friday#post-1429973 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 12:46:10 +0000 viva 1429973@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kind of love that nerdy hair-push. I thought it was a barrette until you explained it! </p> <p>This is a very cool outfit. I hope Una sees it, because she has a similarly striped JCrew sweater that people were giving her referree-grief about. I love the striping. What is the material of these pants? They look pretty amazing.</p> <p>Great find on that jacket. The detailing and the cut are surprising and interesting.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-boho-friday#post-1429968 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 12:40:07 +0000 shipskitty 1429968@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes glasses and hair are sometimes a frustrating combination. I always find there is a stage where the length on mine starts interfering with my glasses and kicks out in an annoying way.&nbsp;</p> <p>Love the way the vintage coat works with the pants and boots!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-boho-friday#post-1429963 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 12:24:54 +0000 approprio 1429963@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm closing the week with a little vintage/boho styling. Today I'm wearing an alpaca sweater bought in Peru in 2003, metalic gold pants from ByBrown and my ubiquitous MMM booties.&nbsp;</p> <p>Also wearing my glasses today. I really like these frames by Maryll, a tiny <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.af-optic.com/en/collection-lunettes-optic-2.htm">under-the-radar French brand</a> who produce the most beautiful <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.af-optic.com/en/collection-lunettes-classic-5.htm">hand-made specs</a> in <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.af-optic.com/en/collection-lunettes-vintage-4.htm">classic/vintage styles</a>. I'd bat for Team Specs way more often if I could reconcile them with my hairstyle, because the only thing to do is to tuck my hair in at the side in a very nerdy way.</p> <p>On top, a vintage boiled wool peacoat sourced on Etsy. I think it’s probably older than I am. I gave it an overhaul when I bought it, replacing the lining and the buttons. I’ve had several years of wear out of it and I expect a few more to come. It's really warm and I love the military styling.</p> <p>Have a great weekend everyone!</p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p>
