Bohemian, Gypsy, Hippie...A Rose By Any Other Name

"What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet..."
Shakespeare

This is one of my favorite lines from "Romeo and Juliet"...whether we call the design bohemian, gypsy, hippie...the look is the same. I love the BOHO look of today...a reminder of a time in my life that recalls wonderful, bittersweet memories...days of patched jean shorts, embroidered flowing tops, flip flops...carefree days...days of first love.                              
Back then, it was mostly about the look...the clothing...not the jewelry. The BOHO look of today...lots of chains, beaded earrings, bold color...and, yes...still...embroidered tops, funky headbands, and color...the look is the same...just by a different name. And the peace symbol?
Yes, it was around, too!
