Carrie Bradshow

While Sex and The City 2 is getting mixed reviews and sparking varying opinions about the plot, character development and storyline, the clothes are to die for. The Middle East-inspired colors, draping chiffon and statement jewelry were so ubiquitous we might have to watch it again because a wardrobe budget rumored to be around $10 million, we without a doubt missed something.

Various retailers are taking the show’s influence to their own storefront windows with ensembles both exotic and Boho chic. Maxi dresses got a makeover this season from cotton throw-ons to luxury. The girls doned 70’s-inspired dresses that, when properly chosen, can flatter most body types. Unlike the 80’s-inspired rocker chic dresses where the them was to add, add, add, to pull of Carrie, et. al.’s look balance opulence with simplicity. A simple dress gets an over the top necklace while a long patterned dress requires less jewelry. Trade in your aged flip-flops for jewel-adorned sandals or earthy wedges.

Keep chic top of mind. This time around, the Boho look isn’t comprised of your mucky Frye’s and cut off jeans. It’s more like Boho bombshell.
