Boho blouses are back (again)
Sometimes I don’t know why I bother. Week in, week out, I am here for you. These are the shoes you should be wearing, this is the colour you must stop wearing, this is why you’re not allowed to carry on wearing that nice comfy dress with the flattering sleeve length, here’s a new completely ludicrous outfit idea which you should start wearing because I SAY SO. It’s exhausting!
And what do I get for my efforts? I walk into a store and find it chock-full of near-carbon-copies of fashion it was chock-full of last summer, and possibly the summer before that, as if my ticker-tape updates were as nothing. Case in point: the boho blouse. The boho blouse is an open-necked summer top, halfway between a blouse and a kaftan. It is fitted at the shoulder, flaring to an A-line hem, with voluminous sleeves. It often has drawstring ties, and smocking or some sort of naive embroidery thing around the neckline. You know the one: you probably bought it four years ago.
