Summer Outfit Inspiration: Boho Chic

Summer is the best. Why, you ask?  Because it’s the laziest season to dress for.  There’s a little less clothing, a little more tan and you can call anything “boho” to cover up the fact that you actually look like a well accessorized homeless person.  Oh, you don’t think so?  Really?  Really?? Read on my hippie naysayer…

First, roll out of bed.  Roll, I say. ROLL. Hair should be disheveled and you should be too.  It’s called “beach hair” and people will like you more if you have it.  Now we need clothing.

Second, procure and apply to your lower half some studded, dyed, and torn cut-offs.  A pair of shorts that look as though they’ve been through a fight between Ru Paul and a wolf.  Perhaps, you have a pair of these? 

Or perhaps you don’t in which case I’d be happy to tell you they’re for sale here and here and here.

Third, the top.  Keep it simple.  Something slouchy, a touch oversized and fabulous:

This simple piece by HotelBrahvo is just what we’re talking about.  Wear a tank, bra or bandeau. 

Four, accessorize: 

BAM BAM BAM <— click for earrings.  While the page loads, pray that they’re still available.

Five, put these shoes on.  Instantly you went from semi-homeless fabulousity to semi-homeless streetwalker fabulousity.  We won’t tell your Mom.

Wear them, or don’t wear them.  It doesn’t matter.  What matters is that you definitely wear them.  Do you get what I’m saying?  It’s like you have a choice.  But you don’t.

That’s today’s outfit.  Live, laugh, love and wear studs. 

Cheerio,

Things I don’t need but must have, pt. 879

Hi fashion dolls and glamazons,

Back in action bringing you a balanced helping of sartorial bliss on this delicious Thursday morning.  Less talk, more enabling.  Here’s what I’ve been thinking about lately.

I’ve been kind of (seriously, unhealthily, wholly) obsessed with a few newbies on our platform.  They’re equal parts vintage, Liza Minnelli and pure, unadulterated fabulous.  While we have too many faves to name in ONE blog post (for now) we’ll start with what’s top of mind.  

So let’s begin with the bottom portion of today’s virtual ensemble: 

Brought to you by Triple Gemini, these high waisted linen slacks are the perfect summer staple.  I’m obsessed with high-waisted anything because that means there’s room for a crop top.  Oh boy, do I love a good crop top.  

So now we shall crop thy top with this fab “Paris Vintage” number a la Stephanie May Laquian’s Copious closet.

Be warned: I will probably buy this top with my next paycheck.  You have until June 1st.

Now we need some sassy heels to play up the look.  We chose these because we can: 

Velvet booties by Circle of Love Vintage.

And now the bling. THE BLING. bling bling blang:
