Boho Style Defined

The roots of the boho style or Bohemian style are from the hippie era of the 60s and 70s. Boho naturally developed from starving artists who, due to having too little money to spend on clothing, often wore outdated fashions. Boho is a style that allows you to reveal your free spirit, uniqueness and individuality. The boho style has lots of freedom, it is comfortable, eclectic, romantic, and ethnic.

I really enjoyed this short study of the boho style. While boho is not exactly my style, I love the idea of having a little bit of boho here and there. What about you? Is boho your personal style for your life or just your home or your wardrobe? Do you layer boho with classics to create your own boho style flair?
