One of my favorite fashion styles is bohemian, which is also known as boho or boho chic. Bohemian style has been around for centuries and originated from travellers or refugees from central Europe (Wikipedia, Bohemian Style.) Over time it developed into other forms, but remained prevalent among artists. For more than a hundred years there have been various women’s movements that influenced this fashion choice. In the past 50 years, this style was worn as women crossed gender lines and dressed more “boyish.” There have been a few variations like hippie-chic, grunge/gothic and also most recently boho chic. 

Boho chic fashion has become mainstream and is not just for celebrities or fashion icons. Most times I’m wearing bohemian styled clothes without meaning to; simply because I love the comfort of the loose or flowy construction. Typically boho chic is shown with loud prints and bright colors, but here you can see that a solid nude dress achieves the same vibe. Something that was inherited into the boho chic style is stacked or layered jewelry and a lack of being perfectly polished. You do not need to have perfectly matched jewelry. Here, I’m wearing two vintage bracelets. One has  iridescent stones and the other has black stones. They both work and work together. However, if I was wearing a pencil skirt, I would probably choose something less chunky and something that matches the colors of the other jewelry pieces that I was wearing. Oftentimes, I get away with flat casual boots or booties with dresses that you normally wouldn’t wear them with. I’ve found that there are less fashion rules when it comes to the boho chic style, which is good for me because I constantly find myself breaking rules and doing what feels and looks good to me.
