Greater Lengths

Happy Monday lovebugs,
It was a relaxing weekend here in DC and even though we are still dealing with off and on rain, the sun made a few appearances. Today I thought we would look at a trend that isn't necessarily my favorite style but figuring out how to make it work for me. The bohemian trend. Breezy, cool, and twirly (yes that's the technical term). I'm more of a fitted or structured kind of girl, but I can take the maxi skirt boho trend and make it work for a more streamlined look.

This skirt is going to be a workhorse in your summer wardrobe. Crisp white with a faux wrap silhouette.

Nasty Gal, Bialik Floral Maxi Skirt, $88 $44
Major sale alert! How gorgeous is this red skirt? Zoom in and you can see the feminine lace overlay.

Urban Outfitters, Kimchi Blue Pleated Maxi Skirt, $89 $69
A beautiful blue and pleats that will make your legs look model-like long.

TJMaxx, Polka Dot Maxi Skirt, $19
I'd pair this print with a contrasting one on top like a pink pinstripe of floral.

While the boho trend isn't in my comfort zone, I can play with a piece of this style that work for me. Don't shy away from trends, make them work for you!

Be fabulous today!

Far Out Chic

The 70s boho trend is back as expected with the resurgence of festival season and summertime outdoor activities. What I love about this decade of fashion is the patterns. Big, bold, beautiful, and funky designs that are way beyond your standard stripe or dot.

Off the shoulder is back and it looks great with this easy, breezy dress.

Bloomingdale's, NYDJ Scarf Print Blouse, $98
Is this blouse pricey? Yes. But think of the versatility. This looks great with cropped olive pants, tucked into a black pencil skirt, under a suit jacket, or with cutoff shorts. It's your do it all laid back blouse.

We are not short on color with this maxi skirt. I also love the tassel waist detail.

Blousy sleeves, high neck, great pattern, this is boho glam.

Usually I go preppy with polka dots and stripes when I think pattern. This 70s boho trend is a great way to mix up my closet with unexpected and colorful patterns.

Be fabulous today!
