The Bohemian Way - Fall 2016

It is an odd thing how we as humans can become so regimented in our thinking. For instance, when I think of bohemian style for some reason I always envision rocking the trend during the summer months. Why? I haven't a clue. Maybe I have fallen victim to advertising and suggestion by designers that only really showcase this style during the spring/summer collections. When I scroll through my visual catalog of memories I can only conjure up visions of models showcasing the bohemian chic look while posing in the desert, frolicking on the beach, or on a jet-set island vacation. Which leads me to wonder why hasn't more been done to showcase how fabulous this trend is for fall/winter. I guess that is why it is always important to be aware of what information you are been fed and to always mull it over and see if the supposed rules or ideas really work for you and your lifestyle or if you are being led by persuasion. 

As you can see from today's fashion set I am totally going against the grain and showing you how the bohemian trend can work during this time of year. I tend to like a darker color palette during the colder months so I picked pieces that were in the black and blue color families. Since I love texture so much, which is also a huge component of bohemian style, I added textural contrast with a felt hat, suedette waistcoat, feather earrings, and embroidered boots. The end result was pretty, cool, and groovy baby.
