Summer to Fall: Haute Johnny Was

One thing I love about owning an independent boutique is being able to carry unique and hard-to-find clothing lines. Johnny Was fits that mold by breaking with tradition and focusing on its own interpretation of global culture, art, and nature. Its innovative and intricate designs flow freely throughout beautifully crafted fabric, while appealing to the modern bohemian in all of us. Even the name “Johnny Was” comes from a carefree place…it is inspired by a Bob Marley song!

I believe viewing Johnny Was clothing is like looking through a kaleidoscope…you see a wide array of colors, shapes, and styles that dazzle the mind and the eyes. The designs and colors can be bold or muted, vintage or modern, and all work fabulously together. Each piece of clothing can go straight from summer to fall by simply changing your accessories, pants, and shoes.

This stunning tunic dress is perfect for the heat and humidity of August. It is fluid and doesn’t cling. The vintage inspired, picturesque print swirls with cool blues and grays that pair beautifully with the additional pinks and bold reds. As the temps cool, the long sleeves will help, and add our suede booties for the perfect look for fall.

Taupe is a four-season color. It carries a neutral elegance that transitions well from summer to fall. White jeans make this muted yet global-inspired tunic pop into a different stratosphere. With the arrival of fall, switch to our heritage-inspired washed Paige jeans (SO incredibly soft, I feel I can dance a ballet…if I knew ballet!), slip on some Dolce Vita booties and voilà, you have a brand new outfit!

johnnywas_gray_red

Reminiscent and inspired by Bohemia, this charcoal gray and red Johnny Was is a stunning addition to any wardrobe. The intricate red embroidery bursts throughout the tunic. Yet again, you can pair this Johnny Was with white jeans or a skirt for summer. Switch to jeans and booties in the fall and bam! You have another beautiful and versatile outfit for the cooler months to come!
