Bored of boho
Summer is on the wane and it will soon be getting cooler. This is very sad but one good thing about it is that we’ll soon be moving into autumn fashions and we can relegate the whole Sienna Miller-inspired, ‘boho’ look. It makes me groan inwardly every time I see a 20-something girl wearing a tiered gypsy skirt teamed with an oversized belt. The skirt is most probably white and teamed with a coloured vest (singlet) and flip flops.
It’s not that the individual pieces look bad or that the combination is so wrong, it’s more that it’s become an absolute uniform this summer. I was over it in May. The thing that bugs me most is that the look is ostensibly all about being carefree and unconventional but it’s actually about the most unimaginative thing you can wear. It’s lifted straight from the pages of a glossy women’s mag circa March and everyone is wearing the exact same thing.
Autumn is apparently all about waists and pencil skirts and well-groomed femininity but thankfully there doesn’t seem to be one defining look so we should see a bit more variety.
Of course, I’m sure I’ll be copping plenty of gypsy skirt action when I go home for Christmas since southern-hemisphere fashion is often six months behind because of the seasons.
PS Speaking of Sienna Miller, apparently she’s taken Jude Law back. I think she’s crazy if that’s true!
