Boho Chic

I've been an admirer of Nicole Richie's style for some time now. Back when her hair looking like this, I requested the same cut and color for myself. Incidentally and unintentionally, now that she's a brunette again, I am too. While I adore her ever-changing hairstyles, I'm not such a big fan of her clothing line, Winder Kate. I love the idea of a fashion-forward boho chic look, bit Nicole's Winter Kate is a little too boho and a little too fashion-forward for my liking. I love deliberate draping and oversized clothes but I also like my clothes to look like they fit and I'm not sure the Winter Kate tops, dresses a cardigans would accomplish that very important goal. While I'm not a Winter Kate admirer, I am very intrigued by the idea of taking bohemian style inspiration and applying it in new ways. Below are a few of my favorite boho inspired shapes, styles and prints (all available on Shopbop):


The Maxi Dress: This dress by t-bags offers a boho shape in a cool, contemporary print and cut.


The Tunic: This Tibi tunic has a slight boho drape and shape but overall looks extremely polished, sophisticated and chic.


The Pattern: Many boho inspired looks feature intricate patterns and impeccable detail. This skirt by Joie features one such print but in a trendy mini skirt style.
