I am a fan of the bohemian blouse, and with summer in full swing, I seem to be wearing one more often than not. It's understandable, after all, as they're incredibly relaxed yet chic, and each one looks original, like a souvenir from some far-flung place. They're also wonderfully versatile--perfect over a bathing suit or with a pair of jeans. I own some gems, but am always on the hunt for more. There are so many good options out there right now it's almost dizzying. But I've boiled it down to these forever-stylish favorites from (or this FP ), , , , , and .
I thought they'd quickly go away. After all they're not exactly easy to wear, what with all the midriff-baring involved. But instead they keep showing up (again and again!), most recently in , , and Resort 2014 collections. Which means they're sticking around for awhile, and thus I've been toying with the idea that a crop top--the sophisticated kind that exposes only a sliver of my upper mid-riff (like the top, above)--is something I could have some fun trying to pull off, especially with a blazer thrown over it. I also like the idea of pairing it with a high waist pencil skirt or full skirt or wide flowy pants, so it looks elegant and age-appropriate. I know, I know, it's a little out-there, but sometimes you just need to mix it up and see what happens. I just bought this Zara , which has yet to arrive, but for $35, I'm excited to test drive it at no risk. These ones from , (or this ), and are also highly tempting.
I feel weird toting a big leather bag around when it's a zillion degrees out. It just feels.... wrong, or more specifically, too heavy. Enter Alexander Wang's sleek city-to-country canvas tote that can be responsible for carrying my life around and look easy breezy at the same time (and, oh, it's half off, too).
