More Boho, More Paisley

More Boho More Paisley 7

Just Monday I participated in a blogger collab with The Fab 40s. The theme was boho. Here I am again two days later with more boho, more paisley. It was around November when I posted about my Thanksgiving paisley pants. This pair, just about as old, maybe even older, are my Spring pair of paisley. You know, now that I think about it…these pants date back even further. They were my very first online purchase–from J.Crew, the pioneers of online shopping. That means they might be as old as 15 or so years–proving that I’ve always been a sucker for anything paisley. This whole boho theme simply chosen for the eight of us to style, has got me thinking a lot about my personal style. I’m reminiscing all the way back to my high school senior pictures. Let me give a little despcription of just one of the three photos, and you tell me if my bohemian ways have been rooted thick. My favorite pic had me in a pair of oversized, red patched-up, Levi jeans. Oh, those jeans were so (flippin’) cool! I wore a red tee and had colorful seed bracelets stranded around my wrist. Oh, and I chose to go barefoot for these pics, sitting all cool Indian style. I miss those red patched jeans so much. Jill Cramp, my doppelgänger and good friend plus original owner of my fake ID, gave them to me. I don’t think I’ve felt as cool in a pair of jeans since…. Hmmm, maybe it’s time for a DIY. Yes, from paisley to patches, from beaded jewellery and fringe accents, to tons of texture, my boho style runs thick. Is it the story behind it all rather than the actual items of clothing? That’s what I’m left wondering. What makes me boho? What do you think?

*This summer I’ll take a picture of the above described senior picture. I’ll then update this post with the beloved red patched jeans from Jill.

Outfit Details:

I’m just curious? Do you care about the outfit details? Each items is long gone by now but I’ll tell you anyway…

  • Kevin gave me the earrings for Christmas one year. Each year at Christmas I always know there will be a pair under the tree for me. I love this annual gift.
  • Two of the stacked necklaces were made by my friend Mariana from Venezuela. The turquoise one is mine, and my mom let me have her coral one. Both pearl drop and the evil eye were purchased in Shanghai at a market during a visit to my sister.
  • The top is from Forever 21, and the pants are from J. Crew. Like I said they are really, really old. I still love them. They are in great shape proving that sometimes quality is better than quantity. Something I’m trying to embrace more of….
  • The fringe bag is from a second visit to Target (after I obsessed over not getting it the first time I saw it!), and the shoes are from Zara as are my sunnies.
  • Yay or nay to the outfit deets?

    Have a Laugh!

    I think it might be fun to start including some of my funny, dorky outtakes. For example, here Remota (the name I have fondly given to my remote control so cleverly hidden in my right hand, ha ha!) told me to pretend like I’m looking for someone coming around the corner. Convincing? I don’t think so! Have a good laugh on my behalf!!

    1. Definitely like the outfit details—it adds a personal flair!
      Secondly, I am definitely NOT a boho girl…call me preppy (i guess)…but it’s been very fun & freeing to try other styles with the blog!
      So i think you need to do a preppy look? Can you? Or will you have to go shopping?

      Can’t wait to see the senior pix!

      1. Hmmm, can I do preppy? I don’t know Jodie. I really don’t! Did you think the “Don’t Be Blue!” outfit with the scallop blue mini skirt was a preppy look. That might be as close as I go. BUT, I am now up for the challenge! I’ll have to see if I can do preppy…but, yes, there’s gotta be something in my massive collection that will lend me that way. Stay tuned!

        Love, Ann

      1. What’s the name of Remota’s sister?! And I’ll try to keep including a funny pic–there’s always a few to choose from! Hahah!

        And yes to boho–we are boho sisters too Suzanne!

        Love, Ann

    2. Since I don’t include them myself, it won’t be a Yea from me re outfit details 🙂 you knew that. As you also know that on the surface, I’m the furthest thing from being bohemian but on the inside, when it comes to living life on my terms, being free spirited and free from societal tethers, I am 125% bohemian xoxo

      1. Totally! Boho sister Queen She!! And yes, I will keep including the outfit details but with the story behind each item–otherwise I get bored by it all too.

        I love the stories you tell over there on SheelaGoh.com!!

        Mwua! Annie
