I'll admit, I've never been a fan of the 'Haute Hippie' look and when thinking of it, embarrassingly, my mind starts to re-live the days of the late 80s-90s, when I donned black crochet, bell-sleeved dresses and handkerchief-hems...I was a sad attempt -trying to emulate a cross between Stevie Nicks and a Goth Flower Child on crack. I got rid of that look, but, alas....times change, we get older, less judgmental right? yeah, right.) As fashion seems to regurgitate itself throughout the years, I always see familiar styles cropping up, and always in the most unexpected of places. So in my boredom of style-repetition, I found myself re-visiting once again, those questionable pieces that have long since, flew out of my posession and into the nearest Salvation Army...and boy, do I wish I had some of it now...back to Bohemia, updated and reprised with an edgy twist! (leave the ren-faire re-enactment look out of this!)
Above, I've compiled some inspiration that to me, channels the 'Dark Goddess' for hot summer days and nights...Lovin' all of the above -especially the Mark Fast stuff coming soon to Topshop. A bit Goth, a bit witchy and pretty sexy -crochet without the dowdiness = Haute.
