Get The Style: Boho

This is the second post in a little series I've come up with.  I'm going to detail how to get a specific look by throwing on a few pieces. I already detailed how to do preppy. Some future looks will be hipster and sporty. Let me know what other looks you want to see explained!

Boho is a rather confusing style to define, mainly because its roots are basically everything that isn't mainstream. It is short for bohemian, which means in brief, hippy. Three celebrities who are notable for their boho style are Nicole Ritchie, and the Olsen twins.

Because boho is a little bit of everything, there are pieces that can look everything but alternative. You have to wear things together to really convey the right look. Unlike the preppy post where you could pick a few pieces and the look you were going for was obvious, this is a bit more formulaic. You can send a completely different vibe if you aren't careful about the pieces you are putting together. This look is mostly about being quirky and comfortable, so most importantly, have fun with it!

Easy Breezy: For a cute but less conventional look go for wispy tops and floaty shorts. Show off your pedi in leather sandals, and accessorize with offbeat earrings, and for a unique touch add a delicate anklet.

A Free Spirit: Get international with bangles and patchwork, and add a fun touch with funky danglies. Studs bring some hardware to the look, but don't go overboard. Again, comfort is a key element of the boho look, so walk easy in moccasins or Birkenstocks.

Flower Child: For a look that is clearly influenced by hippie style, don a breezy maxi skirt or dress. Add a crocheted vest and desert boots. Top it off with raw stone jewelry, and anything incorperating feathers and fringe.
