Trish was our model contest winner last spring and what a great gal to work with! She was eager to step out of her comfort zone and ramp up her personal style in a big way. For the new year we did our own adaptation of the popular hippie/boho look. These might be items that have texture, pattern, and even a little bit of whimsy. We started with her favorite dark-wash jeans that had the perfect fit, not too tight, not too loose, with a tapered leg. To get the look started we added the long-sleeved shirt in a rich maroon color by American Eagle, and then layered-on a complementary long-sleeved sweater also in maroon by H&M. To give it that added punch, we worked in a multi-colored cotton scarf, some bronze beaded drop earrings, a wonderful cuff bracelet, and let’s not forget the fancy footwear! I found these purple and plum pumps by Stylelux that just made it all work. Topping it all off is a vintage faux-fur sweater combination that gives the whole outfit a casual, yet luxurious feeling. Even though these photos were done before they announced the Pantone color of the year for 2015, which is a rich, brownish-burgundy tone, I think we captured the idea that dark colors don’t have to be drab at all! Burgundy, deep purple, maroon, wine and all the variations will definitely be on display throughout the new year and beyond. Trish is right on trend and it shows with another fabulous look pulled together courtesy of Goodwill!
