The Gypsy Skirt & Bohemian Look

Fall is coming up and cool weather will be upon us sooner than later!  Many times I am asked how to wear skirts when its warm outside.  One great addition to your wardrobe is the Gypsy Skirt, which can also be worn in layers with tights and boots underneath.

A flashback to Alexis Mabel’s NYFW 2012 Line reveals the warmth and beauty of a Gypsy Skirt:

Gypsy Skirts are A Line skirts with layered hems, much of the focus veers towards one’s hips when wearing this type of skirt:

How to Rock It!
 
Pull the whole look together like this:

What makes this model’s look?  The head wrap, the bangles, the smoky eyes, layered necklaces, colorful florals and a mixture of fun patterns.  This is called a Bohemian or Boho Look!
Imagine wearing this model’s look with a gypsy skirt!  Now you have a head turning ensemble everywhere you go…And a fun youthful feel.
 
But you could also simplify the look with a plain black tshirt, so you don’t overdo it.
 
Okay, one more just for fun:
