STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Spring Back to the '70s

April 19th, 2016 at 2:00am

The past few weeks of spring have felt anything short of warm. Now that the sun is starting to show itself, it is time to whip out all our unique, warm-weather favorites. Spring is all about showing off the legs and soaking in the sun, whether it be in shorts, skirts or dresses. One of the most popular trends of the season are mini skirts that resemble the ’70s hippie/boho style. The prominent features of these skirts include their button-down front, and jean or corduroy fabric.

These ’70s-style skirts have been brought back to life through popular musical festivals, such as Coachella and Firefly, where it is typical to see these statement pieces shown off by Fashionistas who rock the boho or indie style. These skirts are easy to dress up or down, which make them versatile pieces for the spring season. The versatility of this skirt allows you to pair it with fancier lace tops to vintage rock band T-shirts, and from lace up heals to high top Converse. No matter what your personal style may be, you can always incorporate this piece with ease.

This Fashionista adds her personal flare to this statement piece by pairing it with her favorite unique accessories. She incorporates many bracelets and rings, and a patterned red headband from Spain. In order to keep the outfit bright and to contrast the dark fabric of the skirt, she rocks a bright red V-neck. Finally, to tie the outfit together, she wears one of spring’s most popular shoes: the sandal. This final addition adds a spring shine with the silver strap in the front.

What is your STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK? “Don’t ever try to be anything but yourself; originality never goes out of style. This is why I always add personal flare with a few pieces that are uniquely their own.”
