The Boho Look

Ana- $300 to $3000! Viejas, that is how much you would have to shore up to get one of vogue's recommended new twists on the Boho dress. Forget it! If you are in your mid 50s or early 60s you were born in the 1960s. You are a flower child. You are Boho by birth; whether you like the look or not.

One thing I know, is that I am not paying that much money for a birth right. I should be able to go to my closet and find boho. Let's see... I need: Lose, layers, flowers, jean textile, hats, scarfs, vest, and I need crochet. Oh, and of course; I need jewelry, lots of jewelry.

As I play with different combinations of things I find in my closet, I realize two things:

1. I have a lot more boho elements than I thought.

2. I want to do boho but I also want to stay true to myself and my own sense of style.

This picture illustrates my interpretation of intentional boho. Viejas, go find your boho. Don't buy it, chances are you already have it!

Corina- I was born in the 60’s and wore many of the 70’s “flower girl” trending styles. However, I can honestly say that I have never worn the bohemian look head-to-toe. I do like, own, and wear elements of the bohemian style such as silver and turquoise jewelry (my birth stone), maxi skirts, and dresses. I also wear tops with flowy sleeves and different kinds of wraps. I like to search for unique, handmade clothing items at craft shows or street markets. When I think about commercial stores where I can find boho chic pieces Free People and Sundance Catalog immediately come to my mind.
