Fashion Fridays: Simple Bohemian Style

The one factor that is resonating amongst all the designers this spring is color! Color has invaded all the runways for this Spring's style watch. The era of inspiration is the 1970s: think wide leg pants and maxi dresses. With the maxi dress comes full length skirts that can instantly turn your look into Bohemian chic. The Bohemian style is very laid back and comfort is key. The great thing about this style is that it transitions well from day to night.

For work, avoid jersey material please! It clings to every inch of your body. The maxi dress above  will work for any body type and is made out of cotton - breathable is good and in line with the Bohemian lifestyle of comfort. The empire waist flows out nicely from your hips down highlighting its lightweight style. It hits mid calf so everybody can see your shoe candy. Ground yourself with a neutral shoe. Accessorize with jewelry that moves like bangles, hoop earrings, and layered necklaces.

For night, simply swap out your blazer for a leather or imitation leather jacket. But even the blazer would be great for night.

Just want a hint of the trend? Wear layers of jewelry (i.e. stack your rings, stack your bracelets) that evokes the Bohemian style with jeans and a plain top.
