My Bohemian Quest

So I'm embracing my inner Bohemian-ness. It's true. I admit it. I've been confused. I've been all over the map fashion wise since I was young. My first fashion statement was Umbro's and matching t-shirts. I was half tom boy half poor pastor's kid--needless to say--I had a difficult time defining myself fashion-wise.  Here's an example:

 But looking back I also saw I had a little Bohemian in me all the time...

So recently I decided to "define" myself fashion-wise. So I took a quiz and fell under every category of "Bohemian". For example: loving eclectic jewelry, ethnic bags, long flowing dresses, boots, big glasses and strappy sandals, also known as a "global" style. Its considered also a "state of mind". The epitome for me is Janis Joplin, one of my favorite music artists. Of course she exaggerates the style, and it was the 60's. But I still love it, and her music. Soulful, free flowing, easy. 

 So as the goddess of psychedelic fashion as my guide, I go forth on my bohemian quest, to define my personal fashion. Using the website "the chic fashionista" I did some research on all the things Bohemian! I love everything in this picture:

 Also this Jessica Simpson bag:

And these shoes:

 Though I know fashion doesn't define who I am, at least it gives somewhat of an accurate picture of what I feel inside. That I am uninhibited, enjoy the beauty of intricate patterns and unique jewelry, the freedom to be who you are. And the coolest thing about this style is that there are many non profit organizations that help third world country entrepreneurs sell their products such as Heart Craft, that makes these beautiful prints and journals!
