I have realized I'm leaning a little less boho lately but it hasn't been the weather for my boho clothes. I borrowed this dress from a friend in Australia while looking for some to buy. It was a workhorse on that trip. It is super light weight, non-creasing & although it is maxi it has a split up the side which allows for some leg to be seen. I'm unsure because it doesn't look like anything I have pinned on my board http://pinterest.com/lovlealea.....eal-to-me/ of what I am drawn to, but I haven't seen anything like it on pinterest either. My style icons are Emmanuelle Alt, who is always in pants & that is too hot sometimes & Kate Moss, who wears cut offs when it is hot, which I don't want to do all the time, like not away from the beach or a local festival, and maybe not even there. So my icons don't wear what I want to wear when it is really hot.
The first pics are of the one I want to buy that I wore in Australia.
The second pic is the one I did buy when I couldn't find this one. It is probably past the return date but is unworn with tags so I can try. I could keep both given what a workhorse the blue one was but I think the blue one is less resorty & boho which I prefer. It would have been good to have both on my Australia trip as they would be fine for the beachy travel. I'm not planning any beachy travel soon. If I go anywhere in the Summer it will be the UK. I couldn't wear either to an outdoor wedding in the UK right? I mean I probably have something better for a wedding. I still have drapey but fitted dresses to show you all, that I bought in Australia, that are dressier, can be dressed down & up & are more city appropriate. I wouldn't want to throw them on all the time though like I did with the galaxy stained glass print one, too much dry-cleaning, which isn't easy traveling. I'm wondering if it would be as much of a workhorse when not traveling due to the print making it stand out so much that I wouldn't want to keep wearing it. I find plain colours stand out just as much unless they are dark, which I'm trying not to do in Summer.
I guess I need to decide if it will be a workhorse when not traveling. When creasing & weight isn't an issue. Or when traveling to places where I wouldnt wear it. Could I wear the blue one in NY? If you like it for me should I keep both or do the different prints create a different look? I prefer the blue one & I was desperate to buy one of my own, knowing I had to give this one back. It's just that lately I'm trying to define my style & to be honest I would have walked past it in a store. I don't buy prints. It is just that I had nothing to wear for hot weather & my friend suggested I try it on. I thought that even though it is nothing like what I own it is perfect for beach travel.
