Winter Boho Style

My favorite fashion era is the 1970s, or what could really be considered the fashion trends that came about in the late 1960s and continued into the 70s. This iconic decade was known for mini skirts, bell bottom pants, maxi skirts/dresses, frayed denim, ponchos and a wide variety of textures, colors and prints. Without this decade, I would not be able to rock my signature look, a floppy hat with faux fur. The greatest fashion piece to come out of this era,  however, was the jumpsuit, which will make a few appearances on my blog in later posts. All of these trends are commonly referred to as "Hippie" or "Boho."

Very rarely is Kansas City blessed with 60 degree weekends in the winter, so when we are I take full advantage. On this day, I choose many pieces from the boho era, a floppy, fedora style hat, a black suede fringe vest and a long floral print maxi skirt. Some might believe skirts should be left for summer and spring only, especially if you live in an area with a colder climate. I'm here to tell you that maxi skirts can and should be worn in the winter! A simple fix to keep you warm when wearing a maxi skirt is to add tights or fleece leggings underneath. I recieved my fleece leggings as a Christmas gift, from Wet Seal for $9.90, but did not wear them on this day because of the warmer temperature. My maxi skirt was also purchased from Wet Seal on clearance for $4.80, and can and will definitely be worn year round by me.

I recieved the suede fringe vest as a Christmas gift as well, but a similar style vest or jacket can be purchased from Forever 21. Underneath my vest, I added a black long sleeve shirt, that was $2.00 at Gordman's, a discount department store that is similar to Burlington or Ross. My extra large fedora hat is from Forever 21, and was purchased on sale for $11.90, and was regularly priced at $30.00. I added riding boots to further give the outfit a bohemian vibe. This pair of riding boots was purchased from Target for $20.00.
