My First Boho Look of 2017

Boho looks are a big part of why I started The Mod Little Melanin. While I don't particularly stay true to one style in my everyday wear, during the spring and summer months, my go to style is a boho look. Here is the first of many boho looks that will grace The Mod Little Melanin this season.

To create this boho look, I styled this look with a denim, shift dress I found at Oldnavy on clearance for $0.97 last Spring. This dress features a v-neckline in the front and the back, and also has a raw, fringe hemline on the bottom of the dress. The dress is a petite cut (my mistake when purchasing, as I'm nowhere close to being petite - I'm 5'7" - if you round up lol) so I tend to pair it with tights, or shorts and a pair of shorts underneath (I wear shorts under all of my dresses).

For this look, I paired the dress with a pair of tan, knee high socks that I purchased from Gap for $3.97, and also added a pair of biker shorts underneath, that I normally have a bit exposed in public so it looks obvious that I am actually wearing shorts(they're really jusy cut off leggings with lace added to the ends). My shoes are a find from Target, and have graced the blog on numerous occasions. Underneath my dress, I am wearing a simple tan and cream stripped turtleneck from Rue21 that I purchased for $3.00.

Stay tuned all season long for my boho looks on The Mod Little Melanin!
