Flower Power

If you need an outfit that screams nothing but gaudy festival vibes, this look is for you!

I based my enitre look around this black, crochet dress from H&M's Coachella collection. This collection was specifically designed for Coachella Valley's largest music and arts festival, and was full of color, prints, and a variety of fabrics. While Coachella is long over, you can still find pieces from the collection and now affordable prices. This dress was originally $34.99 and was marked down to $10.00 when I purchased it. The dress features has a high neckline and features a crochet, floral pattern throughout. This style of dress was popular during the late 60s and early 70s, and fully embraces a hippie look. I styled my dress with a tank and biker shorts underneath, but can't wait to style this piece with velvet bell bottom pants as the season transitions to fall.

I styled my dress with platform, clear jelly sandals. Jelly sandals have been trending for quite some time now and are the perfect shoe for your summer wardrobe. If you aren't comfortable with the "child version" of the shoe visit DSW! They have a variety of jelly sandals like this pair, heels and open toed flats.

To accessorize, I added chunky hoop earrings and stacked a chunky, gold bracelet on my wrist, as well as several gold rings. I added this season's trending necklace the choker to complete the look. I purchased this choker in a pack of three from Wet Seal for only $2.00. My rose gold, mirror sunnies are also from Wet Seal were purchased 2 for $7.00.

I had a ton of fun styling this look and loved the odd stares I occasionally received while out and about. However, the stares and weird looks are always ignored by me and I'm guaranteed at least a few compliments no matter what I'm wearing, thankfully.
