Don't agree with nondescript and did notice you have picked particularly great colors for yourself! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-minimalist-bohemian#post-1049519 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 02:12:06 +0000 MuseumGal 1049519@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all - I appreciate the suggestions and will try them out!<br />Bohemian Incognito, that tickles my fancy.&nbsp; Most of us anthros will admit to wanting a bit of swashbuckle ... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-minimalist-bohemian#post-1049301 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 20:44:01 +0000 rachylou 1049301@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>"A Touch of Boho" ? I think you've gotten your style down and are hitting it. I really appreciate your "pleasant but nondescript from a distance,<br /> but with bohemian touches up close"... I find it very attractive.</p> <p>I love #3; it's really pulled together. #2 is my next fave, with the sweater open to show your shirt. And your scarf headband - that's a great signature touch and you look so pretty! Topper in number 4 also fits your style fab.</p> <p>The only thing... there's something about the navy sweater that bothers me when closed. It should work, it should be the perfect foil... but somehow... you know, I think a deeper, darker navy would work a little better for a closed topper look. So much of the focal point (i.e., shirt beneath) gets covered up, I think a darker background would better show the glimpse you get...</p> <p>Anyways, you're a cutie!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-minimalist-bohemian#post-1049288 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 20:25:42 +0000 unfrumped 1049288@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You may wear a lot of blue and black, but those colors look fab on you.<br />I like the balance you've achieved. I think close up and IRL ought&nbsp;to be&nbsp;more of the goal--it takes a lot of drama, (and makeup!) to achieve certain "looks" from afar, and subtlety may be underrated in some fashion shoot type scenarios. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-minimalist-bohemian#post-1049130 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 15:55:32 +0000 viva 1049130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really love the subtle bohemian flair you have -- you really, really know how to accessorize well. And I may I say that up close, the lovely scarves bring attention to your flawless skin!!! Gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-minimalist-bohemian#post-1049125 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 15:51:05 +0000 Sara L. 1049125@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think your use of accessories and patterns works perfectly for your style descriptor.&nbsp; The details come into focus up close and give that bohemian vibe that you are looking for. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-minimalist-bohemian#post-1049123 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 15:50:34 +0000 Suz 1049123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This style descriptor makes perfect sense for the outfits you've shown! I especially like #2. But I think they all do exactly what you hope. Up close, we see the "boho" or even arty side. From a distance, you blend in.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-minimalist-bohemian#post-1049110 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 15:41:04 +0000 Beth Ann 1049110@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your description of your style, and your outfits are a perfect representation of it.&nbsp; #2 is my favorite (love the bag and top, particularly).</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-minimalist-bohemian#post-1049103 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 15:30:45 +0000 fieldmouse 1049103@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree, your style description is very accurate! How about Bohemian Undercover or Bohemian Incognito? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-minimalist-bohemian#post-1049092 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 15:22:07 +0000 Amy 1049092@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your style description is just right! I like this idea and can see you having lots of fun with it. I do think bootcut jeans would have been more fun and played up the 70's vibe of #1. Bootcut jeans would be particularly flattering on you and fit in great with your aesthetic! Great jewelry in #3. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-minimalist-bohemian#post-1049072 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 15:08:55 +0000 Anonymous 1049072@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Waves to a fellow bioarch!</p> <p>I think you have done well in your goal of boho up close, but blending in at a distance. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-minimalist-bohemian#post-1049034 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 14:37:36 +0000 MuseumGal 1049034@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And by minimalist bohemian I don’t mean that I wear the same<br /> prairie skirt and fringed vest every day.&nbsp;<br /> Perhaps subtle bohemian?&nbsp; Modern<br /> bohemian?&nbsp; </p> <p>Not quite sure how to describe the way I try to dress.&nbsp; I’m all about the boho/exotic touches, but at<br /> the same time I don’t like to stand out in a crowd. In fact I try to dress to blend in to the<br /> background most of the time.&nbsp; However if we’re interacting one-on-one then I want to look put together and I like to<br /> give you something pleasant and uniquely <i>me</i> to look at.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> <p>&nbsp;So here are a few recent WIWs.&nbsp; These are all jean based since I’m currently dissertating, which means research and writing, so comfort is paramount.&nbsp; </p> <p>1:&nbsp; Was trying for a<br /> 70s vibe with the groovy scarf – should have worn my bootcut jeans (in the next<br /> pic) instead.</p> <p>2:&nbsp; Blue and black<br /> with a lapis necklace – it’s kind of alarming how much of my wardrobe is blue<br /> and black.</p> <p>3:&nbsp; More blue (the SS<br /> sweater/jumper is navy, not black) – with another lapis necklace.</p> <p>4:&nbsp; This was wonderfully<br /> casual, flowy, and boho in my head – in person it looks a bit like I’m wearing<br /> a bathrobe.&nbsp; Might try again with skinny<br /> jeans tucked into boots?</p> <p>&nbsp;5:&nbsp; And finally a very<br /> casual day when I knew I’d be in the collections climbing ladders, crawling around<br /> on the floor, and generally getting dirty.</p> <p>&nbsp;So how am I doing on the pleasant but nondescript from a distance,<br /> but with bohemian touches up close?</p>
