Bohemian Style Tips...

Dixie here... I have gathered a list of tips on Bohemian style clothing - and the most important part of this fashion statement is Balance.  Use your intuition.  If you think it's too long, too short, too much, not enough - you are probably right - fix it! 

As I mentioned in a previous post, recycle clothing shops are great for creating your own individualized boho wardrobe.  Using the colors I mentioned in the last post as your basics, add from there.  Select vintage, Indian and ethnic clothing whenever possible to achieve the look. 

Some ideas: 
Tunics, maxi beach dresses, kaftans, minis and kimonos with a tie or scarf belt... 

Choose tie dyed and tiered skirts... harem and gaucho pants - remember those?!  And pair them with flowy, vintage lacy tops, embroidered peasant tops... 

Jewels is a whole category by itself!  Fun, inexpensive, chunky, glitzy, coordinated and layered. 

Have at least one scarf in your layers, from exotic Indian scarves to florals and folkloric designs.

Finish your look with a slouchy handbag in leather or ethnic print... and don't forget your shoes! I prefer to go barefoot myself - one of my Bohemian fashion statements but bipeds need footwear for most occasions. 

Popular footwear for boho styles include Gladiator sandals, moccasins, suede and leather boots in earthy colors like black, dark brown, tan, ivory and olive green.  Remember those granny boots trend?

Next time we'll talk more about layering...
