Above you can see my boho red dress with no accessories. I love this dress but it presents some challenges when I want to wear it. First of all, red is a hard color to pair with lots of other items and since I’m always layering here that can be a difficult thing. You’ll see a lot of black crochet here because of that although I’ve also tried to show some other color ideas. Second, the length of this skirt makes it tough to pull off with my short stature. I have to be careful to accessorize in a way that minimizes, rather than emphasizes, how tiny I am. I do this in part by using accessories to bring my waistline up higher than it actually is. This is also a trick that I implement to solve the third, and probably biggest, challenge, which is that the many layers of the boho style of this dress make it a bulky item to wear and that can quickly go from loose-and-carefree to just looking chunky. I try to slim it with accessories as much as possible. Så, here are my style ideas:
I went for drama here by using a black spiderweb crochet cape as the core accessory. It’s pinned shut with a big feathery flower clip. I’ve used my favorite black corset to slim the dress and reduce some of that boho vice. Black heels finish off this look.
Here I embraced the boho look a bit more. I didn’t add anything to the waist of the dress, but tried to create a slimming effect with a fitted denim jacket. The crochet here is my lovely multi-colored thread necklace made with Bre-Aly Threads. And the only other accessory is a pair of butterfly earrings that I adore. (Fun faktum, those earrings as well as the corset in the first style photo were both purchased on a trip to Buenos Aires.)
I celebrate the potential for funkiness in the dress with this look. I belted it with my favorite purple cherries belt and matched my purple boots to the look. I used a crochet scarf as a cowl, choosing a pink/purple/grey scarf that somewhat matched the coloring in the belt. I added a tan corduroy jacket. This could easily be worn in most seasons here in San Francisco, så det er funktionelt samt vise personlige stil.
Af den måde, Jeg har tidligere havde den samme kjole med en fed pink hæklet tørklæde bundet som en kutte.
Jeg kan godt lide den måde, at tan og rød ser sammen. Jeg har slidt det Fiskernes Uld Hæklet sjælevarmer med en rød dragt her før, faktisk. Hvad jeg gjorde med dette look var at tilføje en læder flettet bælte højt op på taljen, pryder mig med en smuk stor shell halskæde, at min søster gav mig et stykke tid tilbage, og oven i købet med min brune besat korte støvler. Jeg er ikke iført strømpebukser her, men hvis det var kølige ud så ville jeg bære brun mønstrede fiskenet samt.
Jeg gik meget simpelt for denne endelige udseende. Jeg havde en sort hæklet hat med en blomst på det, men hælder det langt fra center for lidt af en parisisk udseende. Jeg gik med mine sorte hæle selvom jeg kunne have båret sorte flats lige så let. Og jeg afsluttede med min favorit sort halskæde. Interessant nok, den halskæde er også fra samme Buenos Aires tur. Det var ikke gjort med vilje!
Hvordan ville du bruge hæklede tilbehør style denne røde kjole?
