The New Romantic
Thank-you mechanicalShdws for taking these photos.
I never took to the boho trend. No gypsy skirts or kaftans, no Sienna Miller hair, no cowboy boots and no ‘ethnic’ jewellery ever entered my wardrobe. So when I bought this shirt impulsively after seeing modelled so beautifully on the effortlessly chic Zanita, I’m not really sure what I was thinking. When it arrived my first instinct was to wear it with my resin-coated black jeans and combat boots. And it was perfect. It might be called the Boho Shirt but to me it couldn’t be more gothic/romantic. Now all I need is a cape and a raven.
White Shirt: Stylestalker
Black Jeans: Country Road
Black Boots: Wittner
Alicia these photos are gorgeous! What season are the CR jeans?
@ Lola – Thank you! They are current season. xo
LOVE this! Lookin’ gorgeous!
indeed very romantic! almost shakesperean
love the way the laneway disappears in the distance in the first two photos
I agree, that shirt is very gothic/romantic. It doesn’t seem at all like a boho shirt to me – but then, that could just be your styling, which by the way, is gorgeous.
you rock my blog world, the boots are lustable.
♥
this doesn’t even hint at boho. the styling is perfect, gentle grunge; i wouldn’t have it any other way.

I’m a strictly monochromatic person myself, colours are not my forte. This looks lovely on you!
your hair looks so fucking good these days. camera orgasm. triple tick for the boots too. x
I love this post!
i agree that its more of a gothic/romantic style than boho.
the person who took these photos is quite the photographer!
excited to see more photos shot by mechanicalshdws
I got no boho from this at all. My thoughts went straight to romantic. I’m glad you took the less conventional root and paired this with combat boots and reisin-jeans.
Love Grace.
I share your sentiment. I’ve never even experimented with hippie-ness. This is a great way to wear the shirt! Bravo.
great outfit, tho seriously, you do need a raven.
i think you absolutely should get that cape you were talking about. it can be absolutely worked in. that shirt is fabulous. and i can’t believe those jeans are from CR.
amaze!
xx
Omg you look gorgeous! Love this whole outfit, flawless (i especially love those boots!)
You look beautiful! Love the shirt and yes I’d say its very romantic… I can kind of see it on a man on the cover of some awful romance/erotica book about a shipwreck, and a maiden..
Great photos and love your lip piercing, not many people could pull it off.
Those pants are beautiful! I’ve been looking for pants like these for the longest time, they sorta look like leather ones but a bit classier. I’ll drop by CR tomorrow, hopefully they already have those in store here
Ummmm can someone say gorgeous?
I also just love the different angles these photos are taken from.
When I saw the first photo and hadn’t read that someone else had taken them, my first thought was, HOW on earth did she take that herself???
LOVE your hair!
You look amazing. I’m definitely seeing the grunge softened by romance. You’ve just perfected my ideal look. The photography is also stunning. Hey, have I mentioned how good this post is?
i like this alot! awesome boots! x
wow, the top is gorgeous. I def think you look more shakespearean than anything! which is always a good thing!

i love your style, its edgy but accessible. i’ve been pondering ways to work a bit of hardcore-flare into my lace and floral print style, im in awe! it seems like my lucky day, i’ve stumbled upon the master!
that top (and your bangs) = amazing!
You look gorgeous!! boho-rock chic perfection- you’d make (old school) kate moss proud. and US proud too!
Full of grace. You’re a pretty girl.
With your outfit it looks much less boho than white drapery, which I have to say I much prefer. I love your boots, and your hair.
The photos are perfect, you never over- or under-edit anything. They look so pristine.
oh i absolutely love this outfit you’ve put together! everything looks great on you and you’ve pulled the combat boots off really well. (: i wish i could too…
Just wondering whether you could do a haircare post? Your hair is absolutely stunning and I was just wondering what you did/used to maintain it.
Obviously I am not alone in saying this, but I absolutely love the photo of you looking at the camera. Your hair is so beautiful!
wow, i seriously love the flowy top
and the boots. They are gorgeous!
xx
Love it all.
