Ladies!
I like ethnic style. Can anyone help me with sites or magazines or even books with this in mind. I realize my own style and fashion sense is the base, yet I like spying out others with the same sensibility..if that makes sense.
Ethnic,bohemian,not to main stream.
I appreciate it thanks!....this site is great for this, any references/links?
Thanks
Chestener
Re:style
Do you sew? You may consider making a few tops with some afro-bohemian fabric...something really simple yet if you pick the right fabric...can really make your wardrobe unique!!
Here are a few links:
