Boho Over Fifty

Can you wear Boho after fifty?   Of  course you can!  There is an old rule that if you wore a trend once in your lifetime, you're too old to repeat it when it comes back in style.  Well, I was born in the sixties, and I remember wearing a lot of the fun "hippie" styles in the seventies, but I still think I can jump on the Boho trend again with a few modifications.

I created this Bohemian outfit by wearing a Boho style top with pom pom hem jeans, scrappy sandals, and boho accessories.


Many of you have seen me don these pom pom jeans on the blog and social media before.  Every time I show these jeans, women want to know where I got them.  Well I got mine on clearance for less than $5.00 at a Younker's "Going Out of Business" sale so I can't link to this exact pair.  I even tried finding alternatives for you on-line but they are sold out everywhere.  If designers and buyers were smart,  they'd get more pom pom hem jeans in stock soon, because women want them!  If you can't wait for stores to restock,  try buying some pom pom and decorative trim at a fabric store and add them to your own capris!  I'd be super easy to do!

The pom pom jeans are a really cute way of going a little Boho over fifty.  It adds just a touch of that Bohemian vibe without the overkill.  If you're a little nervous about going over-the-top with the Boho look, you could just wear the jeans with a simple tee or any regular top and not a Boho style top like the one I'm wearing.


This Boho style top is by Daniel Rainn and is called "Levanna Crochet Detail Top".  This one is from Stitch Fix, but I found some cute ones on Amazon HERE and HERE.


I really like the loose and free Boho style of this top.  The crochet details on the yoke and sleeves are so pretty too.

A round leather saddlebag, blue stone bracelet,  and fun leather statement earrings coordinate well with the Boho look.


Some scrappy sandals from DSW (old) complete the Boho vibe from head to toe.


I love an understated Boho look because it is so comfortable to wear yet the outfit looks more put-together than your typical casual attire.



Another way to wear this Boho top is with denim shorts.  I kept the same sandals and jewelry, and I went with a more distressed pair of shorts to keep the Boho vibe.



Have A Great Day!  Amy

  7. Great Boho jeans. The pom pom set them apart and make them even more fun. But I especially love this top with the denim shorts. The length of your shorts is perfect with that cute top. A very balanced, cool, crisp summer look.
