WIW: 2 bohos and a modern classic

Hi guys, here’s outfits from the last 3 days. The first two include my brand new Boho Bird skirt from Birdsnest (I love it already) and have a soft boho theme. I tried to add a few more accessories than I usually would to give it a boho vibe, including some silver hoop earrings, silver plain ring, plus turquoise and silver cuff and white gold wedding rings. The third outfit is more of a modern classic, with an olive wrap skirt from Zara and a thrifted stripy ruched top
They all felt super comfy and practical.
Thank you for any feedback or tips, or even styling ideas....
Thank you all

The first two outfits are the very definition of soft (and pretty!) boho. The olive skirt outfit is not as much boho but works beautifully. The top is very interesting - I like the deconstructed stripes!

Thanks Shevia, I’m glad I got the soft boho I was looking for. Yes the stripe top is my attempt at a classic piece with just that tiny point of difference to hopefully take it above generic. And thrifting something was a bonus.

I like what you’ve done here. I think the skirt in the first pictures would also be fun with a bell sleeve top as well.

Both skirts look lovely on you--you have just the figure for that style!

Thanks columbine and Emily K. I agree bell sleeves could be a good idea. Cheers!

Outfit 1 is my favourite.

OMG Jussie, all these outfits are soo great! The long skirt is amazing and you have styled it in such a beautiful way. The olive skirt looks wonderful combined with the striped top and earrings. I am not so good at style descriptors, but I certainly love all these outfits!

That long denim skirt was made for you! I like both looks but am especially drawn to the second one with the open shirt on top.

I really like the last outfit too. The wrap cut of the skirt and the ruching on the top give it just enough interest.

You seem to have several different elements or moods to your style. I think you should embrace this! All of the outfits I’ve seen look “right” or true on you.

(I wonder if that is a year-round thing for you or more seasonal? As I think about it, I realize my style persona is much more varied in the summer.)

The second outfit with the olive skirt and striped top is FABULOUS. Your knotted hair is super cute too.

All of the outfits are great, but I'm completely in love with your long denim skirt! It looks perfect with the sandals.

That striped top is amazing! What a terrific find.

The first outfits definitely embody soft boho. You look fabulous in all of these.

I don't wear skirts, but I might have to make an exception for that long denim one - and the jacket with the trim is the perfect topper. The striped tee has such great detailing. You look fabulous in these.

The black/white/olive combo in 4/5 is great, one of my all-time favourites.

And you look wonderful in that denim maxi skirt -- I find that sort of piece incredibly difficult to style, and I'm in awe of how modern and sleek it looks on you.

Thank you everyone for your complimentary words. What a lovely bunch you are
Yes, the denim skirt is very long! Thankfully though, it can be worn with flats. I was looking for a denim skirt for a while and couldn’t find anything that really stood out but then I saw the Boho Bird skirt and saw that it had been reviewed 340 times, with overwhelmingingly positive reviews so I had to try it out for my boho days.
The olive, black and white outfit I must say was inspired by ylf, as I think Angie has done a couple of posts about this combo of neutrals and it seems fresh at the moment.
SarahD8; yep I do have some very different moods to my style, I like to play with different looks, almost like putting on a costume each day. However lately this has been troubling me and I wonder whether I would seem more put together and confident if I had a single style, a signature look. For example, Katerina’s posts show a cohesive style, as do Angie’s. But then I am constantly seeking novelty with my outfits so I don’t know if I could stick to a cohesive look Day to Day!
In terms of wearing A line skirts with tucked in tops, this is one of very few flattering outfit formulas I have been able to come up with that is flop-proof for me. I am really hoping to get a reportoire of outfit formulas that I can draw on quickly in the mornings and to help develop a signature look, or, more likely for me, a few signature looks! The other one I have is slim jeans, button up shirt with an open cardi.
Thanks everyone for your invaluable feedback.
