boho style inspiration

I told y’all florals would be coming soon after pastels 😉 Spring/ Summer are synonymous with stripes, lightweight fabrics, bright colors, prints and my personal fave, boho chic.

I’m completely convinced sometimes that I was born in the wrong era. The 70’s, while most were in a drug induced haze and probably don’t remember most of it, their fashion was on point. I love the effortless ease of everything from the makeup and hair to the whimsical flow of the maxi dresses and midriff baring tops. Ok, clearly I’m not the epitome of boho, I’d say I’m an avid lover of boho style especially when the warmer months roll around. The carefree vibe and comfort that exudes from the laid back bohemian style fits in seamlessly with my personal style.

One thing I like to do when I’m shopping, no matter the season, I like to pick pieces that have dual roles. Dual roles in my closet translates to being able to be worn in multiple styles. i.e. in a preppy look, modern, dressy, grunge, worn casually… you see where I’m going? Take this tunic I’m wearing, if I took off the suede shearing vest, lost the fedora, layered bracelets and booties; traded it all for a pair of wedges and a form fitted blazer the entire look would completely change into something a little more conservative. My personal style tends to not reflect one style complete, I tend to mix things up. Who says that you can’t mix preppy & grunge? Not me. As much as I wish I could stay in one fixed lane, I can’t. Cross pollinating pieces opens up your closet to a whole new world of outfit possibilities.

Some of this spring and summers hottest trends have me anxiously awaiting carefree days and sun-kissed skin! I hope y’all don’t get sick of it because I’m here today proclaiming that I’ll be channeling my inner flower child so be prepared to see floral and flowy frocks frequently on SIEB.

peace & love friends! ☮

The groundhog is actually my best friend this year, for the first time in what seems like forever the furry guy got it right, spring is near! I’ve embracing Mother Natures warmth with open arms and messy hair. Although I’m still pretty covered up I’m starting to break out pastels and soon to follow, florals…

To quote Meryl (we’re on a first name basis, well we would be if we actually met) in The Devil Wears Prada “Florals? For spring? Ground-breaking.” As un-shocking as pastels and florals are, they are one of the best parts of spring. I don’t see this trend changing like ever and I’m pretty ok with it.

When I look at this coat I instantly think of summer. What an oxymoron right, a coat making me think of summer? It’s the aqua blue color that has my head swimming. I love the slightly oversized menswear feel to it but still having that little feminine touch to it. The cropped sleeve is perfect for transitioning into those days when it’s cool in the morning but by lunch time it feels like summer. The length is perfect and hits at just that right place for wearing with pants or a dress. The perfect transitional piece! The only thing that could make this coat any more perfect would be to add a bow in the back!

Now for some real talk that I wish I didn’t have to bring up but… after lusting after this coat for so long, I dare to say that it was incredibly hard to photograph. I think it’s due to the fact that yours truly is so petite and even though it’s an extra small it kind of dominates me. The fit got the best of me. I love it but I’m banning it from future blog appearances until further notice. It’s always hard for my mind to grasp the concept of it looks better in person. Like what? No. I guess I need to grow a few inches taller because I can’t bare to part with it.

Anyone share my pain in not being able to photograph some of your favorite pieces? For me, stripes can be a little tricky.

Have a happy weekend! 🙂
