Fashion 101: Breezy Bohemian

The bohemian style is a gorgeous look filled with florals, fringe, flowiness, and earthy tones. As the weather warms up it just makes sense to wear flowier outfits to let your body breath while still looking chic. Below are a few of my favorite boho styles and how to style your own boho looks.
Selena Gomez
Selena's floral flowy dress screams boho and can be dressed up or dressed down. The wedges dress the look up while still keeping with the boho theme because of the cork wedge. The fringe bag also gives off boho and can be worn across the body or on one shoulder. The belt helps to keep your waist and prevents the dress from overpowering your body.
Bella Thorne
It can be argued that this look is more "hipster" than boho, but the crotchet top and flower headband definitely make the look boho. The earthy tone of the top and crotchet top keep it looking simple but chic while the headband adds fun interest to the look. Also, the hair pieces also adds a lot of fun to the look without permanent change.
Lucy Hale
Maxi skirts are so boho and are becoming so popular with their many styles that they work for just about anybody. Maxi skirts allow lots of breathing room for the body and can be paired with simple tops or fancy tops and flats or heels. It doesn't even matter your height anymore as long as you know the right shoes and accessories to pair with your maxi skirt.
How do you work the boho style?

Fasion 101: How to Look Taller


Olivia Palermo
Kate Bosworth
Gillian Zinser
Heels aren't the only way to look taller, so try out maxi skirts. Maxi skirts add major length and height when worn just the right way. Maxi skirts come in any type of pattern or solid color and can work for any season of the year depending on the fabric. The perfect maxi skirt for adding length is higher waisted or begin right at the top of your natural waist. Because the skirt starts higher up it makes your legs appear longer and taller, you may not even need to add heels! Avoid maxi skirts that are too flowly and a-line which tend to look very frumpy. Also if you are wanting to look taller do not wear your maxi skirt right at the hip. The above pictures show different styles of maxi skirts. Olivia is very indie and cool in a printed and ruffled. Kate is very romantic and girly in a silky, ivory maxi skirt, while Gillian is classic and chic in a fitted, long black maxi skirt. Rock the maxi skirt and feel sky high!
