Angie got me thinking with her tall boots post, then Janet got me thinking with her skinny jean post.


I find myself not loving or wanting to keep most of my chiffon or boho blouses. At all.

Some are newly purchased last autumn. The issues range from:

  • Too large fitting now, they almost look and feel sloppy on me
  • Too hastily tried on and they fit a bit snug around the bottom hem
  • Good colors for me but the look and fit feels "blah" on me when I style them
  • Baby-doll empire waistline, tunic length which works when I'm a smaller busted, but right now feels weird no matter how I style them, even with a minimizer bra (empire in general is usually a tough line for me to wear)
I really find myself feeling frumpy or dated in many of these, to the point I don't like wearing them or making outfits with them. Not because they are or aren't actually dated, but they just feel dated. I have worn chiffon blouses and boho blouses for 15 years. I find myself desiring to move on, even though I am boho in my heart forever.

For now, I'm keeping both high-neck plum versions, the cream with eyelet yoke detail, sheer black, and leopard print. Everything else is going into a holding zone. It leaves me with very few tops to wear, but I hardly ever pull these out to wear anyway.

I want to try adding back some deep scoop and deep v-neck tees (a la Bruce), along with a wrap blouse and this really lovely drapey blouse I found. I might add a pussy bow blouse if I find the right one. (The copper one I currently own just doesn't have enough va-voom to the bow and style to make me happy.) Also maybe looking to sew/knit/buy some slouchy-yet-tailored sweaters for the winter.

Anyone else over chiffon blouses and boho blouses?
