Peasant Dreams
Unleash your free spirit by pulling on flirty, vibrantly colored clothes and jewels.
WHAT'S IN Fashion designers are humming a Bohemian rhapsody, turning out floaty hippie skirts, sheer caftans and tunics, and multiple-strand beads. The empire waist is also on the rise in romantic ethnic-print blouses and road-to-Morroco dresses. Minimalism is a Boho no-no, so load up on accessories, from crocheted and embroidered bags, wallets, and belts to head wraps and decorative footwear. Jeans stitched with colorful island scenes are a must-have for all free spirits.
WHO'S WEARING IT Woodstock-aged babes can reminisce in haute hippie couture, while their daughters can happily commune with Boho denim, peasant tops, and accessories. For updating a white shirt and jeans, ethnic jewels rule. Mix and match beaded and tasseled necklaces, long drop earrings, and
handcrafted cuffs.
