Summer Festival Fashion

Summertime and the livin’s easy. With summer months ahead there is a lot to look forward to: days at the beach, margaritas by the pool, bbq’s in the back yard. And music. Summertime is concert time with lots of acts going on tour this time of year and festivals all across this beautiful country of ours. What to wear to said concert or festival? Pick up the hippie vibe and get inspired with an updated seventies look complete with denim, color and crochet. Even your lips get the earthy treatment with all natural Burt’s Bees. Who needs make up when you’re this happy? Rock on!

Spring For Floral Jeans

maciebk

Floral prints are to be expected for spring fashion, but what is a little new this year is the pattern popping up on denim pants.  I love jeans.  No, let me rephrase.  I LOVE jeans.  Even before moving to denim-happy California I always loved wearing the blues (not singing them thankfully!).  My jean selection expanded quite a bit after moving to San Diego and embracing the casual chic style best displayed by West Coast fashionistas.  Also going from the more formal South, to professional New York and then to casual California, jeans became more of a wardrobe staple since they are acceptable in just about any office position here on the left coast.  A few seasons back I dabbled in colored jeans and now I’m loving the floral.  Particularly the Mandy Floral Jeans by Citizens of Humanity.  I purchased these from Anthropologie recently and have worn them so much my husband is begging me to give them a break.  But I just love them and since its probably a fleeting trend I want to get my money’s worth! Mixing them with a loose chambray blouse or crochet cream sweater has made this my favorite look so far for Spring 2012.
