  3. Make a few twists in the from of the skirt.
  4. Then continue to wrap the scarf around your bottom. And finally tuck the end into the first hip side and pull the front twist over to hide the tucked material.

Bohemian Post #4

     

Embroidered, baggy, white shirts are great examples of the boho style. The embroidered boho look doesn't always have to be on white shirts with colorful flowers but it is one of the best styles. They often have long or quarter inch sleeves and will have the embroidery on the sleeves and chest.

Johnny Depp is the celebrity king of male bohemian clothing. His looks fit well in the bohemian style because of his ruff and rugged style. He often wears hats and sunglasses perfect for the bohemian style and accessorizes well with multiple beaded necklaces and leather bracelets. The bohemian style can have many mix-match components and Johnny Depp pulls the "thrift shop" grunge look well.

These dresses are excellent examples of the modern bohemian style. The modern style still takes all the components of the 60's boho look but makes all the accessories and clothing match more by creating a color scheme of similar colors. In these dresses the colors are nudes, peach, light brown, tan, and cream, all are complimenting colors that blend together perfectly. The modern boho look is more about keeping things in uniform rather than mixing. This modern look still keeps tassels, leather, maxi dresses and skirts, turquoise, and Native American prints.

This dress is a great example of a bohemian look. The sleeves are puffed and baggy and the length of the dress extends to the ankle. It is flowy and comfortable looking. The pattern of the two materials mesh well together and stand out while also being subtle. The bust of the dress is made up of the blue material which is a great color block.

Flirty Skirts



Flirty skirts are usually circle skirts and are best when they are bright, spring colors. They are called "Flirty Skirts" because they look great when swished around and puffed up. They can be paired with cardigans, tanks, t-shirts, flats, heels, boots, etc. and will always look amazing!  

Quick Tip #13

 

Sheer and Chiffon tops are great but sometimes they can be unflattering for plus size girls. So some good advice would be to shop cautiously when looking for sheer and chiffon tops.
