2011 Collections Modest Elegant: That Bohemia Feeling...

How was your holiday? Mine was good and unexpectedly busy during the last week of 2010. Now the new year is here; I didn't even make any New Years resolutions like I used to do. I'm going to just work on a few of my goals plus wait to see what comes. And for those of you that may have read my blog last week, I wore a loose black blouse, a beige shirt jacket, and a "salt and pepper" calf length straight cut skirt to the New Years Eve service (I took my teens to a church concert. It was excellent!). Not my first choice of what I would like to wear, but I had less than two hours to find something to put on.

Yesterday I was thinking on how 2011 should be clothes-wise. I'm feeling ease of movement in clothing is key. I'm thinking loose and light fabrics. I'm thinking expressive clothing. I'm thinking color (don't I always think color?) to express hopefulness for the future and a passion for one's beliefs. Bohemia! I can also see people wearing semi-structured clothing in colors such as grey, white, black and taupe. To each his own. Here are a few of bohemian clothing I've taken a liking to:
