The Littlest Boho

So last night I'm almost a week late in reading the Guardian magazine, and I find myself on the fashion page with my usual gritted teeth. Jess Cartner-Morley (even the name makes my skin crawl) really is on the top of my list of hated people - actually, that would probably make a good read, more soon - but this week something strange happened: she made me laugh. Dear old Jess was describing the Kate/Sienna induced trend that has become known as 'boho', but complained that the only way you could truly pull this look off is if you have masses of time on your hands and are a creative, arty type (in short, a bohemian then). The reason I couldn't help but giggle was that I filled her criteria! In fact she had me down to a tee...
In Order to be a bohemian you must:
a - Get up at 10am or later (does 9:30 count? I suppose it does when you don't have to be anywhere til 11)
b - Proceed to mill about in a vintage kimono (that'll be my 1940s rayon one bought from a charity dhop for three pounds. Three pounds!
And...
c - Drink your Lapsang Soushong from your mismatched 30s china (you can't move for the stuff in my kitchen).

Oh Jess, you've done me proud.
