My Take On Popular Summer Looks

Hey guys! It's Gwen today. If you've read any fashion magazine lately, I'm sure you guys have noticed all the popular looks for summer: "Tribal", "Boho", "Edgy", "Chic", etc.  If you're okay with copying exactly what the magazine says and recreating precisely the same outfits, then by all means do it up.  But if you're like me and want to take the look and make it your own, go for it!  In this post I've taken a couple basic summer looks and added some individuality to them.  My sister Emma has modeled them for us:

This is my recreation of the "World Traveler" look that is featured in many magazines.  I think I'll call it...Hiker Chic? :) In this look I've combined a black floral bustier, dark wash cutoffs, layered necklaces, hiker socks, and high-heeled construction boots.  I styled Emma's hair in a side fishtail braid, and armed her with a pickaxe for a prop. 

Floral Bustier: Derek Heart (Levinsky's)

Cutoffs: Faded Glory (Walmart)

High-heeled Construction Boots: Jellypop (DSW)

Hiker Socks: Smartwool (L.L.Bean) >.<

Necklaces: (Forever 21, Bass)

In this next look, I was inspired by my trashy, unfinished basement to create an edgy, downtown ensemble.  This outfit is simple, but accessories aren't really needed because of the zipper on the side of the shirt and the studded detailing on the jeans.  For this look, I just kept Emma's hair down & roughed up the texture a little bit. 



Shirt: La Petite Francais (Vintage)
Jeans: Uproar (JC Penney)
Converse: Converse One-Star (Target)
