you cannot be rich and be a hippie.
Hippies, of course, took cues from Buddha and Ghandi, as well as other peaceful leaders, and revered the earth almost to the point of worship. They followed the "hippie trail," just as the Romani did centuries before, spreading themselves throughout Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. They copied the Slavic-gypsy style of dress and even practiced some of the Romani's rituals. Just like the gypsies, the majority of hippies were lacking in finances. Even today, the few authentic hippies we have left are not rich in the slightest. They grow their own food, make do on meager wages, sew their own clothing (or buy pre-worn), and practice the same nonconformist mentality as their predecessors. I'm not condeming looking to high-fashion for inspiration, because those designers/stylists/photographers were influenced by the original source (and I am certainly inspired by it often enough), but if you're wearing a $500 boho-esque dress and flying a private jet to a posh hotal in Morocco, please do not call yourself a hippie or a gypsy.
