Flashback City

I just woke up recently and wondered if I was in Oz.  The color and retro sightings are everywhere!  Want a quick update to your wardrobe without looking like a munchkin? Check out these over-the-rainbow ideas:

Acid Wash Jeans: YES, I’m totally serious. Most authentic in a light blue or grey wash, but color rules this season so why not red or purple?  A classic low rise skinny leg paired with a sweet, bo-ho tunic will surely ignite the Wicked Witch!

Kicks: ruby slippers not necessary, but high-top sneakers, colored loafers and flat espadrilles and sandals ARE.  Wear them with whatever your heart desires, and be sure to click your heels 3 times.

Neon: definitely a “fad,” but nonetheless VERY cool. Try a yellow or pink tank top paired with a floral cropped pant or a metallic mini for some pizzazz.  Caution: requires courage!

Jean Cut-offs: Need brains? DIY is best. Find an old pair in your closet or scour a thrift store. Cut them off and wash + dry to obtain “best fray" results. Pair with slouchy t-shirt and a skinny crossover bag. 

Shades: the “Wayfarer” is far out! To make it modern, opt for a brightly colored matte pair, or go classic black and white, if you’re the serious type.  There’s no place like this.

Follow that yellow brick road to your past…and have a blast this summer!
