HOW TO GET THE BOHO CHIC LOOK








 So when I was asked to style a Boho Chic look as a part of my assignment at FAD International, India with LCS (London College Of Style) I had a lot going on my mind. I looked up for references and inspirations like the Olsen twins as you can say I am totally obsessed with their style, the reason why I had a whole blog post dedicated to them. In the process I realized that bohemian is all about embracing your own personality. Every Boho chic look has individuality to it. There are no rules of getting a Boho Chic look right. Bohemian style may be described as a trend with certain looks to follow, but it's really all about following your own inspirations.

About the look: While styling this look minimalism was what I kept in mind as I wanted to style a much wearable boho chic look. I pulled this outfit from mine and a friend's wardrobe. A pleated skirt with a tint of orange that stops just above the ankle and a white crop top seemed just the right combination. Fitted clothes don't really go well with bohemian style, so flowy silhouettes are the right choice. I used minimal accessories, a colorful stoned chain and just one earring that gives the whole look a not so perfect finish. The John Lennon vintage glasses just added on to the look making it look quite hipster. For shoes I chose cheetah print sneakers, something that not many would expect (aren't those pink laces just too adorable?). And that was the whole point of this look, to be a lot more individualistic, original and to not be perfect. As I believe "Life does not have to be perfect to be beautiful".

FASHION INSPIRATION | OLSEN TWINS


Are there any more chic, stylish, cool and original sisters than Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen? Well, HELL NO! The twin duo is incredibly stylish and has been by inspiration for what seems like forever now. Their bohemian, hipster and Olsennes never fails to make a style statement.



The twins' fashion obsession began while wearing Chanel on Full House. The originality in their style inspires me the most. Their creation of the fashion genre 'Dumpster Chic' a.k.a the "bag-lady-in-big-shades-with-an-even-bigger-bag look" is something every girl thanks the twins for (I do big time!) Can you imagine imagine yourself in over sized clothes - over sized bag - over sized shades, messy hair and yet be fashionable? Well thanks to the Olsens who have made fashion so easy for the girls.

Mary Kate and Ashley have given bohemian fashion a whole new meaning. No one can do 'boho' better than them. The mix of hipster with a tinge of classiness in their outfits is the reason why I am obsessed with their style. Their over sized shades are like a trademark of the Olsen' that they do the best. Also their art of layering is something I cannot describe in words. 



"We were called eccentric and eclectic. But we were just two California girls trying to dress for the New York winter.” 
- Olsen twins


The twins have always inspired me with their style but more than that their fashion career is a very big inspiration to  me. I look upto them and the work their work in fashion at the age as young as 18 years. 



They are indeed twins but their styles do have an individuality of their own. While Ashley tends to stick to modern basics and classics, Mary-Kate is eccentric and fearless and I love that the most. 



Do you adore the twins as much as I do? Wish to dress like them? Here is your 7 step guide to get the Olsen twins look:


1.Wear darker and somber colors
2.Dress in layers
3.Wear over sized clothing
4.Accessorize with scarves
5.Wear skinny jeans
6.Accessorize with vintage jewelry
7.Top off the bohemian look with boots and over sized sunglasses
