Okay, so I’ve been totally obsessed with the “black women boho chic aesthetic” lately. It’s just so gorgeous, and I wanted to try incorporating it into my own style and space. Here’s how I went about it, step-by-step:
Getting Inspired
First, I needed some serious inspo. I scrolled through Pinterest and Instagram, saving anything that caught my eye. Think flowy fabrics, earthy tones, bold prints, and lots of texture. I also checked out some blogs and YouTube videos to see how other black women were rocking this look.
Closet Revamp
Next, I tackled my closet. This was the fun part (and maybe a little overwhelming!). I already had a few pieces that fit the vibe, like a maxi skirt and some embroidered tops.
- I looked for clothes in warm colors like rust, mustard yellow, and deep browns.
- I gravitated towards natural fabrics – linen, cotton, and even some crochet pieces.
- I snagged some flowy dresses and skirts. Gotta have that effortless, breezy feel!
- And of course, I picked up some statement jewelry – big earrings, layered necklaces, and chunky bracelets. Accessories are EVERYTHING.
- I find my clothes at thrift stores.
Sprucing Up My Space
I didn’t want to just wear the aesthetic; I wanted to live it! So, I started incorporating some boho elements into my apartment.
- I added a ton of plants. Seriously, plants everywhere! They instantly make a space feel more alive and vibrant.
- I swapped out some of my old throw pillows for ones with textured fabrics and global-inspired patterns.
- I found a gorgeous woven wall hanging at a local market. It adds so much warmth and personality to my living room.
- I picked up some scented candles and incense. Gotta have those earthy, calming vibes!
- I hung up some macrame plant hangers. Super cute and easy to DIY!
Putting It All Together
Now for the best part: actually rocking the look! I experimented with different combinations, mixing and matching my new pieces with things I already owned. It’s all about feeling comfortable and confident, so I made sure to choose outfits that felt like me. I also played around with different hairstyles, like braids and twists, to really complete the look.
It’s been a journey, but I’m loving how everything turned out. I feel like my style and my space finally reflect my personality, and that’s the best feeling ever. And I continue to explore new ones every day.
