Thanks, Denise! I learned alot about Music Festival Style on this thread. I had no idea. Always learning

Agreed. A little boho goes a long way.

I just opened by Lucky magazine and there's a several page article about the "new" boho..

I came of age in the 60's-early 70s and first got excited about clothing with the "hippy" styles that were so different from what my mother and aunts wore. I still like ethnic prints and fabrics but want more structure in my clothing. It would be fun to add some touches of boho.

Manidipa posted an AWESOME and long answer to the "What is boho?" question. We avid and toe-in boho lovers have had some good threads on this, complete with visuals.

>The more recognizably current boho chic is something that, if I recall correctly, started off in the 1990s and looks back to hippie style. The other, older boho has its sense in early 20th-century socio-political movements, and it is really odd to note *now* that Sherlock Holmes was described as bohemian by his author! Mark Twain considered himself a Bohemian --- and you see overtones of that in Tom Sawyer's attraction to Huck Finn's oppressed, deprived but free life.

I love thread like this that delve into the details as well as discuss the cultural semantics behind style. Thanks for the link Vix. And I miss our very literate ManidipaM! I think she is busy with a new baby and have faith that she will be back with us before long.

Boho never died for me! I have some stipulations about how boho I'll go. I never buy anything with fringe and I stick to nontraditional boho colors like blue and grey (no brown - I do not look good in brown!). That keeps the boho-ness of my style refined. I want to look like Laura, not Stevie Nicks.

It is probably all to do with my wannabe artist thing but I do love me some boho - and I saw our Stuttafords has quite a range instore at the moment too so Yay!!!!

How interesting, this is what festival style in the UK dreams of being but the reality is Hunter wellies, anoraks, face paint (or is that mud) and after a long day finding your tent has been washed away.

I cannot do boho, it just does not jive with my personality, although a happy person I am not light or creative. I feel happier looking at the darkness somehow and this is probably why I'm at home with rock n roll.
