Fashion: The Bohemian Look

     Yesterday I was hanging out at the coffee shop, sipping Jamaican coffee, listening to CNN, and looking at fashion and cooking magazines.  Sometimes I get a sense of how I currently want to dress, and then find out it is exactly what is in vogue.
     The bohemian look is in.  Peasant blouses, lacy sandals, ankle boots, denim overall shorts, intricate patterns, lace cardigans, jumpsuits and bell bottoms are all the style again in 2014. 
     For my birthday, 2012, I bought myself a Heidi Klum jumpsuit.  It looked so great on the nearly six foot tall model.  I bought it online, so I was not able to try it on.  Although I realize the style was herum pants, the crotch was down to my knees.  Believe it or not I wore it once anyway, because it was really comfortable.  Then I just wore it around the house, but the black cotton material kind of stretched out.  I was later to learn that a reviewer said the same thing on the sight, once looking again for a possibly smaller size, but deciding to opt out, and not try again on this one.
     Finally I got rid of it, but the style was in theory great.  So, now I am interested in jumpsuits again, after seeing a herum style jumpsuit in The New Yorker.  This one was more tailored, sold at Macy's, less than you would think, about sixty dollars, modeled with a jacket that was not incredibly expensive either.  So, naturally I seek a cheaper version of a similar thing.
     Another thing is the beanie that is floppy, sort of Vermeer-like as if you would see a maiden stuff her hair inside in one of his wonderful, realist style paintings, very pretty.
     So much on style for today.  Happy Spring!
