Starting today, August 25th I'm starting a back to school series even though some people may have started school or college already. I personally haven't started school yet. I also haven't gone school shopping yet. The series I'm starting is basically a theme of choice, such as, today I'll be kicking it off with a Boho or bohemian theme. In the post I'll show some boho clothing, accessories, shoes etc... I got the inspiration from Seventeen Magazine's new book out called Seventeen Magazine Ultimate Guide to Style.
Usually when I think of bohemian, I think of floppy hats, fringe material, headbands, beaches, sand, tribal inspired objects, and surfing. When going for a bohemian look, try using beads to create your own necklace, bracelet, earrings, or decorate your bag. An example of a boho bag would be...
Like I mentioned earlier, a fringe bag! Especially in earthy tones like green, the above pictured yellow, browns, dark oranges, and more natural tones. Nothing quite neon, or bright. Boho isn't exactly pink, or lime green. Think forest green instead :) A bohemian necklace could be pictured as this...
So yes, something colorful yet, not so bright that it takes you to indie/edgy which we will talk about soon. Notice the yarn, and beads. Put together yet not, all at the same time :) Now that we've covered accessories, lets move on to Bottoms. Pants/ skirts that have a bohemian feel are like this...
If you're going for a top that's boho, I suggest this...
It's floral but has nice tones to it. Ruffles and flowyness is a big part of Bohemian style. It's almost like there's two parts of boho, there's Surfer, and then there's Actual Boho. The things I've listed is Actual Boho :)
A style icon you should look to for boho looks would be...
