Boho is not a four-letter word…

How did we get to a place where the free
spirit could be commercially viable?
Where big brands could profit from a feel, a lifestyle, a soul??

Ok, I’m not the first person to wear
flowing ankle length skirts, crocheted vests and wide brimmed felt hats. That’s a fact. But the last time I saw big companies cashing
in on my dream state, I bailed out. It’s
true. I conformed to boring generic styles
and refused to wear their authentic-less, mass produced bullshit.
But what good did it do?
Nothing!
I was still dreaming of starry nights out on the farm, playing guitar
around a fire with like minded souls. I
was still practicing yoga on the beach before a surf, still wandering the world
with awe filled eyes and bare feet. The
cloth don't make the boho babe… Our
attitude does.

Boho is not a four letter word – it’s a
state of heart.
You might be able to
fake it while it’s in fashion, but your true colours come shining through when
the next big thing hits and you show up in a metallic lycra jumpsuit.

So instead of shying away, I’m appreciating
the fact I’m spoilt for choice. And I’ll snap up all their bargains in my next
op shop adventure ;)
