The Bold & The Bohemian: Go Boho in Just a Few Steps
Add a Kimono
If
you don't already have a kimono that you love, this is the place to
start. I've been wearing my mom's vintage kimono from Japan for a few
years, but there are also some great new ones out there. I recently
purchased one from TJMaxx, for example. The thing that I love about a
kimono is that it's light and airy but also provides a light layer for a
trip to the movies or dinner in a chilly restaurant.
Look
for one with colors that you typically wear so that you can throw it
effortlessly over jeans shorts and a t-shirt or a maxi dress. At this
time of the year, I'd recommend that you look toward neutrals or dark
colors because this is something you can easily wear over jeans or
leggings for fall. See how the rest of her outfit is not boho, but she
still just looks cool?
Or, go whole hog and boho up the whole getup!
Layer on Necklaces
Part
of the appeal of this laid back style is that it feels gathered, not
pre-conceived or pre-fab. If you've got this much to layer on laying
around at home, do it up.
If
not, or if you'd rather dip your toe in the trend instead of jumping
in, look around for a couple of necklaces to wear at once.
This Etsy store has some real beauties.
Mix Long and Feminine with Something Tough
One
of the things that I love most about a boho look is that it's not too
sweet. It's not afraid of a little grit or a little black or leather.
It's a very approachable look that also feels just a bit tough. Look
around your closet-do you have something, like a maxi dress or skirt,
that feels inherently like it could belong on a ranch or out in a field?
Pull that on, then add something that's a little tougher, like a worn
t-shirt, favorite pair of dirty boots, or cool Lennon-esque glasses.
I love this for the late summer, don't you?
Here's how to do it in the early fall.
That's
all, love bugs! I hope you have fun looking for a little boho touch you
can bring out in these beautiful last days of summer!
