Why I want to dump my old style and turn to Bohemian clothing

There is a lot in the media currently, and has been for over 100 years, that encourages young girls, women and men to hate their bodies and to be this false idea of perfection. There is a certain way that everyone must dress, and even though we are told to 'be ourselves' and 'find our own style', we still must choose our styles from the ones that society deems appropriate or cool.

My wardrobe used to be completely about me, admittedly, it was a little ridiculous at times and didn't always look very good, but it made me stand out and that was always my main goal.  As I have got older, my style looks better and I take more pride than ever in the clothes that I wear, but when I go into school on a non-uniform day, I realise that I look the same as everyone else, and that's not what I stand for.

Recently on pinterest I have been exploring new styles and one that really stood out to me is bohemian fashion. I love the way it's totally free, the clothes tend to be very colourful and cultural to many different countries around the world. I really like that these clothes have stories and I would wear them to represent my happiness and spirit.

When I first saw this look on pinterest I fell in love instantly, this was the picture which really inspired me to start getting into boho fashion. I love the the baggy trousers hang on the hips and I have never seen a top like the one she's wearing before and I love it! I love the lilac, I like the way it clings and I love it with the green necklaces. 

 Vanessa Hudgens is a huge style icon of mine at the moment, she wears a lot of boho clothes like the outfit pictures here. This particular outfit reminds me of the clothes that my singing teacher wears, who really inspires me, so I really like it.

 This outfit pictured above is more mainstream than the other photographs here, which I like because I could probably work it into my wardrobe easier. I will start with clothes like these to slowly ease myself into the style.

I'm a little scared to transform my wardrobe into this style; it's very different to what I would usually wear and it's obviously going to cost me a lot of money and time that I don't really have. Furthermore, I'm not sure where to even buy these clothes in the UK, places like Topshop and New Look where I usually buy my clothes don't have a huge amount of clothes in this style. Does anyone have any recommendations?
