Boho chic clothing becomes increasingly more desirable as the days get longer and warmer. I don’t know if it conjures up memories of the beach or just has an easy going beach day feel but I can’t help picking up boho pieces when spring hits.
The easiest way to ease into the bohemian look without sacrificing structure is to accent with boho accessories like a great boho handbag.
1. Antik Batik Banja ethnic embroidered large bag
2. Ibiza Slouchy Hobo (similar here)
3. Vida Vida embroidered panel leather clutch
4. Las Salinos Embroidered X Body (similar here)
5. Neon Selinas Embroidered Tote
7. Amazing Samta Wow Bag (similar here)
Personally I love the idea of a great boho bag instead of a whole wardrobe of floaty, shapeless clothing. I like the bohemian look but it really doesn’t do anything for my 30something body. So instead I accent my regular, fairly preppy look with boho accessories.
Want some examples on how to rock that boho bag with your everyday lifestyle? While I am not sure boho bags are going to make a great statement with a black suit they for sure can work with a great sundress and blazer combination.
Outfit details: 1. Broderie Anglaise Biker Jacket 2. Norma Faux Wrap Dress 3. Antik Batik Banjo Clutch 4. Tibi Elliot Asymmetrical Booties
Where the whole boho vibe really works is upping your off duty style. Great for a Sunday Brunch date with girlfriends or a day at the beach. Think Boho Casual Chic.
Outfit details: 1. T by Alexander Wang CLASSIC TEE WITH POCKET 2. JIL SANDER Cotton-blend blazer 3. Vida vida Embroidered panel leather clutch 4. the whistlestop sandal 5. Current/Elliott The Side Cut low-rise skinny jeans 6. Pom Pom and Braid Dress 7. Fedora Floppy Hat 8. Ibiza Slouchy Hobo 9. Gianluca l’Artigiano del CuoioLeather toe post
Do you do the whole boho look when the summer rolls around? Not at all or all year long?
UPDATE for 2015
I am still all about a great boho clutch to create a boho chic outfit. I will say that I have a serious crush on tops like these with eyelet trim, which for me create the perfect boho chic outfit when paired with one of the embellished bags shown in this post and a great pair of dark denim. I realized that the bags in this post were for the most part sold out and so I thought that I might share some current options.
1. CHRISTOPHE SAUVAT COLLECTION MARIA BAG
4. STAR MELA JUI CLUTCH (this whole line is amazing really)
5. Woven Pom Pom Weekender Bag
6. Columbia Beaded Shoulder Bag
7. Ikat Calf Hair Crossbody Bag
How would you wear your boho chic clothing?

Great post - I love the boho look but similar to you, my 30something body needs a bit more tailored clothing - the use of accesories for work is awesome!

YES! I think it gives just the right amount of boho to a grown up more tailored look. I just can't pull off a peasant blouse the same way I once did ;)
