Structure and boho is my dichotomy too- hippie goes to office job Some times more sleek, sometimes full on festival! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-structure-vs-boho#post-2020337 Wed, 17 Apr 2019 14:00:50 +0000 Angie 2020337@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Jaime</b>, you put a smile on my face too </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-structure-vs-boho#post-2020239 Wed, 17 Apr 2019 00:52:22 +0000 Jaime 2020239@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a confidence booster this forum is! Thank you all so much! Fun fact about the top in #4, it is by the ethical brand LemLem (which I only learned about after I thrifted it), made in Africa by local artisans<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.lemlem.com/pages/made-in-africa">https://www.lemlem.com/pages/made-in-africa</a></p> <p>Nemosmom- Thank you! I am very happy with my hoops collection and gives me that feeling of a signature.<br />ChristelJ - Yes I was thinking that the cut of the cobalt top sort of added the structure I want, but I am thinking a long angular chain might help too!<br />kellygirl - Thank you! I assure you I look quite non-fab in lots of things, but taking pictures helps me avoid repeating the same mistakes too often.<br />lyn67 - Hmm, I wonder if contrast is its own form of structure? Thank you for your thoughts!<br />catherine Thank you!<br />Christina - Thank you! I have been trying to switch my bags more often (because goodness knows I have enough of them).<br />Laurie - Continuing on the bag theme, I think the crossbody adds a nice diagonal line. Thank you!<br />Sara L. I have to think about the contrast factor more, thanks!<br />smittie Me too!<br />Glory and texstyle- Thank you, definitely going to wear that one a lot this summer.<br /><b>Angie</b> Thank you! You always put a smile on my face. I will try to keep up the bright colors now and again! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-structure-vs-boho#post-2020190 Tue, 16 Apr 2019 19:55:30 +0000 texstyle 2020190@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#4 is probably my favorite - so not sure if structure is required because you look fantastic in that outfit and #3 but you also look fantastic in #1 and the rest are great too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-structure-vs-boho#post-2020167 Tue, 16 Apr 2019 18:16:50 +0000 Glory 2020167@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look wonderfully fit and healthy in all the photos!

I've missed them.</p> <p>Well Queen Crossbody, the floral outfit in #3 is my favourite, so no - I don't think it's too much :)</p> <p>#4 is my next fave, so I'm loving the Boho path of this leg of your style journey.&nbsp;</p> <p>You wear Fluid Structure with the best of them. Rock on.&nbsp;</p> <p><b></b> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-structure-vs-boho#post-2020118 Tue, 16 Apr 2019 14:39:05 +0000 Christina F. 2020118@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>I think these outfits are all great. I love the first one AND the floral. It's a lot of look, and these things are personal, but I think it's great.</div><div><br /></div><div>I struggle with this juxtapostion as well but I think you are showing that you can enjoy both types of looks.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Also, all your bags are stunning and each is perfectly chosen to accompany the chosen outfit.

A blazer is always the best way to achieve structure and you use them wise and clever here!&nbsp; I love nr. 4 and 6, too- both have a good dose of&nbsp; color contrast&nbsp;(cobalt and bl&amp;w are very flattering on you!)a nd that seem to balance out the boho strike. YLF Shevia!!!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-structure-vs-boho#post-2020086 Tue, 16 Apr 2019 13:05:30 +0000 kellygirl 2020086@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous! 1,2 and 4 are my faves. They look dramatic and crisp to me. I'm surprised at how much I like the neutrals in 2 on you since I tend to like you in higher contrast colors although I'm not sure why--they just look more you? I like the floral but I don't love it as much as the others It's either the print is too big or the fit through the chest. I'm not sure. Although, if you hadn't asked for analysis, I probably wouldn't have noticed because the colors are beautiful and quite frankly, you could wear a sack and look fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-structure-vs-boho#post-2020083 Tue, 16 Apr 2019 12:58:56 +0000 ChristelJ 2020083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It seems you can wear any style and just glow. Love how your structure still looks relaxed. Absolutely taken by your boho #4; gorgeous. I will be interested to see how you create structure in warmer weather, as I have a similar craving but cannot wear jackets here most of the year because of the heat. Actually your beautiful cobalt top is a good example of warm weather structure because of the cut. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-structure-vs-boho#post-2020072 Tue, 16 Apr 2019 12:31:04 +0000 nemosmom 2020072@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had to do a double-take to see floral in the print blouse - the large scale looked like tie-dye at first glance. I think you look fab in all of them, and see #4 has a nice amount of structure because of the graphic, and the straps on your sandals help too, IMO.&nbsp; </p> <p>You have such a dazzling smile and fun hair (and I LOVE your hoops!) - I think they are all fantastic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-structure-vs-boho#post-2020056 Tue, 16 Apr 2019 11:44:23 +0000 Jaime 2020056@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all so much!&nbsp;<br />Sal soft tailoring may be exactly what I am aiming toward. Thank you for your kind and helpful thoughts.<br />Runcarla - Great tips! I have been attracted to button ups lately, maybe they will be my summer structure.<br />Brooklyn - Thank you! Interesting that those two opposites are attracting .<br />Thank you Lisaflex!<br />Shiny - Excellent, I look forward to seeing some structured boho examples from you. And thank you for the hair flattery -&nbsp;I realized after writing this that my hair is half structured and half boho - maybe that is what it all comes down to.<br />Taylor - I am tickled pink to receive such a nice compliment about my hair from a (gorgeous and stylish) professional!&nbsp;<br />Suzanne - I agree that the scale of the floral is off on me- thank you for helping me put it into perspective.<br />Isabel - wow that is like some sort of grand slam - thank you!<br />Firecracker - thank you for your detailed thoughts! I am mulling this over and definitely thinking about collared summer tops.<br />Jessikams - *blush emoji* that I don't know how to type :)<br />Jane - thank you! Sophisticated and no fuss sounds great!<br />Thank you Rachy!<br />Fashintern- you know I had not thought about the wearing black factor and I usually try to avoid it. But it does work well on my when mixed with white (ask my hair!). Thank you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-structure-vs-boho#post-2020019 Tue, 16 Apr 2019 07:57:23 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2020019@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like others, I think 1&amp;6 are great. I think we are all seeing how well black works for you. 2 is nice too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-structure-vs-boho#post-2020007 Tue, 16 Apr 2019 06:11:51 +0000 rachylou 2020007@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are all outstanding. I love the pattern of 3, nothing mincing about it. An interesting new direction! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-structure-vs-boho#post-2020006 Tue, 16 Apr 2019 06:10:28 +0000 Jane 2020006@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love 1 and 5 especially. The bag is fab! And the collar of the jacket in 1 looks cool. </p> <p>It is a Isabel says sophisticated no fuss look - and looks super. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-structure-vs-boho#post-2019993 Tue, 16 Apr 2019 03:57:48 +0000 Jessikams 2019993@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You just look so great, esp in pic 1. Keep doing whatever you’re doing- it’s working! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-structure-vs-boho#post-2019991 Tue, 16 Apr 2019 03:52:02 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2019991@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>I think Sal hit the nail on the head with "soft tailored looks with a twist." I was thinking, yes, I see you are trending toward more structure, but there is still a softness that looks familiar. Always your hair brings it in, with the soft curls, but even in outfit 1, the most structured of the lot, your bag adds that touch of softness. I think the direction you're going looks fantastic on you, still very harmonious with your hair and features. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I think you wear the bold print quite nicely; it complements your complexion, hair, and the bold lip works well with it. I think a smaller pattern would be more complimentary, though; if we could just scale those flowers down to about 80 percent of their size! <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I really like all of these outfits. My favorite is #2 for the colors, the combination of relaxed and structure, with the rolled pants, untucked top, and soft blazer and even the soft-lined pumps. The bag is the perfect finishing touch. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Going into summer, your hair and your bags will continue to anchor your looks with softness and structure--it's almost like you can't help it. But you might play with soft belts over loose summer dresses and tops. Or look for loose, cool top styles that have collars.&nbsp; <br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-structure-vs-boho#post-2019985 Tue, 16 Apr 2019 02:29:08 +0000 Anonymous 2019985@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All good but four is by far my favorite. I see the boho but I also see structure created by the use of black, the linear details of the shoes, and the linear and high contrast pattern of the top.</p> <p>Sophisticated, go everywhere, no fuss but tidy and feminine looking outfit.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-structure-vs-boho#post-2019978 Tue, 16 Apr 2019 02:16:17 +0000 Suzanne 2019978@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m loving 1, 4 and 5 on you. I think boho 4 works because the black gives it some edge, and the geometric pattern seems like the right amount of visual detail to complement your facial features. To my eye the large scale of the floral is a mismatch with your detailed features and rad hair.</p> <p> Just my $.02 of course—if the floral makes you feel good that’s what’s important!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-structure-vs-boho#post-2019975 Tue, 16 Apr 2019 02:03:56 +0000 taylor 2019975@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have the most - fabulous hair- ! Cut, color and the way you style it !</p> <p>I love the structured blazers and I think it looks quite polished , however you pull off the unstructured, boho -ish look equally as well ...so there you seem to have the magical ability to make both work </p>
