One of the best parts of dressing like a boho is the clothes! If you pull your look off right, you won’t come out looking like a dirty hippie. If you're new to boho fashion (like me) and don't know what to begin with, or if you need inspiration, then check out these tips and pictures below:
1. Make sure it is something that YOU like! There is nothing worse than wearing something that you are not crazy about… Have you ever had one of those days where you put an outfit on and you are just not feeling it, well guess what? Other people get that vibe and then you really look like a hot mess. I feel that a big rule in fashion is to have confidence in what you wear because then you look better and relaxed.
2. Stick to the color pallet! – I doubt this needs an explanation.
3. The accessories also make the outfit; they can also transform an outfit into something better or worse! Think of the clothing as the base and then build up with your accessories. There are scarves, bracelets, rings, earrings, necklaces, and more, just have fun. Moreover, since you may want to add a modern vibe along with the old vibe it is nice that jewelry never goes out of style. However, just don’t pick anything too heavy, it will not look flattering, you may come out looking like a beggar. If you don’t have much money, look at thrift shops and places like Forever 21.
4. As for the layering, layer with things that flatter the body, if not you could come to look like a beggar on the streets of New York. In addition, those beggars like people are the reason why bohemian style can be seen as ragged, hippie clothes.
5. Wear what was popular in the past but add your own modern twist to it. For instance Wear a pair of moccasins with studs on them, it transfers the look a little but if is not too big a transformation.
6. Add some ethnic elements, like Navajo, ikat, Aztec, kind of prints. They look cool and they come in an array of colors! I have these great Aztec sneakers from Urban Outfitters and the base of them is tan that can go with many boho elements.
7. Find your inspiration in another person. Earlier I mentioned that I liked Nicole Richie for her style, she is great, but I also must say that Zoe Kravitz is also a boho fashionista. Let’s not get into “what’s her face” as Perez Hilton calls her (Vanessa Anne Hudgens).
This is boho beaut goes by Kasica. For the pros of this look, I would have to say that I love her braided headband that matches her bag. I also love the sweater that she is wearing; it looks vintage and very boho. Moreover, when you add this look up, you can clearly see that she stuck to the color pallet. My only con is her makeup. Her beautiful red lips are a little strong for me, she is supposed to look naturally, and her eyeliner is a little too heavy around her beautiful blue eyes.

2. Boho baby
This lovely girl goes by Sarah. What I love about her outfit is that she incorporated gypsy (which I have not talked about) and indie style into what she was wearing. Being that gypsy skirts are also considered bohemian I think that this is a great fashion choice. If you would like to see more of her, you can find her on chictopia by the name http://www.chictopia.com/sayruhdee%20or you can go on her blog http://jesuisbadpenny.blogspot.com/.
3. zebra love
This fashionista realizes that we are in an economy recession! She may have not said it but this is a good point, you don’t have to buy the most expensive things in order to pull a style off. What I love about what she is wearing is the dull but colorful maxi dress and a wonderful crochet vest. Not to mention, she also has gladiators on! She also said, “Boho is such a chilled and comfortable style, it’s the best!” I don’t know about you…but I know that I love this style. If you would like to see more of Clare, you can find her on chictopia http://www.chictopia.com/rainbowsandfairydust and on blogstpot http://rainbowsandfairydust.blogspot.com/.
Okay loves have a nice day!
