Last week, I wrote about updating my inspo board for the Historian avatar with ’20s and ’30s-influenced runway inspiration; this week, let’s do the same for the Bohemian, my other main style avatar. As a reminder, whereas the Historian is professorial and masculine-leaning, the Bohemian is romantic and feminine-leaning. Each avatar can be expressed via different vibes or “flavours”. Here are some examples of different versions of the Bohemian, from last summer’s outfits:

And here are some of the images I have been adding to my inspo board lately, reflecting a 20s/30s vibe:

I am calling this my “I Capture the Castle” aesthetic, which helps me focus in on the mood I want to evoke and to visualize it. [If you haven’t read the book, I highly recommend it.] It’s shabby-chic, rundown English manor house, make-your-dress-out-of-old-curtains, with a dash of champagne picnic extravagance.
