STYLETHREAD -- LET'S TALK SHOP!

i haven't quite figured out my look yet, but i think the whole boho thing is going to be huge for spring. while normally i would see this as a "bad" thing, the cool thing about this "trend" is that there are lots of ways to interpret it without looking like a trendwhore. 

while i haven't actually thought about what i'm going to buy (in the ne, spring is way too far away to start thinking about that) i'm definitely going to be looking for more skirts (i love skirts!) in particular circle skirts, skirts in the style similar to the one bumblebee posted, and long skirts. i'm also going to get some new funky jewelry (i haven't been jewelry shopping in a long time) and looking for things that have kind of an ethnic flair. i'm also going to get a couple pairs of beaded flats  like these. and also a pair of cowboy boots.  i really want these frye ones (that i can't find a pic. of online but were in lucky) and i'm hoping that i'll find them on sale in feb.

fyi: maddie & ritz, there is a code for 20% off at uo, i believe it's "luckymag"  those shoes are currently sitting in my shopping cart and i too am debating the practicality of buying them now versus waiting.

i am favoring bohemian looks lately, too...like honey, I agree you can totally pull off the look without looking like everyone else because there are so many variations....i'll probably incorporate long layered tops, my cowboy boots, skinny scarves, and a slouchy bag, and am excited about looking for vintage jewelry.  I will def. be wearing blazers into spring.  i actually have a few things in my wardrobe that will work with the boho thing and they are my favorites anyway, so i won't be buying a whole new wardrobe.  I also like the grecian top thing featured in Lucky...if i can find something like that i'll be excited b/c I think it'll work with my body type. 

I wear tons of skirts in the warmer months, too, so I'll just be looking to find one or two new ones, but mostly i'll be hunting for cute tops to wear with them.

Does the boho look ever *really* go out? Really? I don't know, it seems to cycle around so often I think at this point it would be OK most of the time. I'm so sick of the mags/editorials pretending that the "return of femininity" and "boho chic" and "citrus colours on nails" etc. is something *new* every spring. Cuz it isn't. Which doesn't mean I don't like it, I do, I just wish Vogue would actually do some real research and thinking instead of sleepwalking through the fashion seasons.

Ahem. Rant.
