Bring It On 4th of July

Summer 2013 is officially here! It’s that time of year for holidays, BBQS, and fun times. With 4th of  July here I’m feeling very inspired by some looks @ Coachella this year. Coachella is not only one of the biggest music festivals, it is a fashion frenzy of hippy chic summer looks.

I mean really did you see Ireland Baldwin @ Coachella? Ireland’s look @Coachella screams BRING IT ON SUMMER! So I decided to hit up the thrift stores in OKC to recreate this look for super cheap and still be super chic!

First I went out and bought a plain white T for .99 cents. Next I found some really cute high wasted jeans for 4$. Then I went searching for the right shoes. In Ireland’s look she rocked a cute military style boot, but here in OK that could get pretty hot! So I went with a nice pair of reddish leather boots with a woven toe.

 I created this complete outfit by thrifting, and DIY. To get inspired for your t-shirt and short cutting ideas, I always hit up Pinterest. Pinterest will always give you more inspiration than you know what to do with! The styles I chose you can see in my photos through out my blog. I just followed a few simple steps for my t-shirt cuts, and then embellished the fringe I made with some wooden vintage beads I picked up from a friend, to add detail. Then I simply cut the high wasted jeans to a desired length, and added stripes to the inside pockets with tape and red fabric paint. I also studded the front pockets and back pockets to give the shorts a little edge. Who knew studs would be so easy:)

For all of your accessory needs call on your own closet, friends, and family. For instance I used some old leather scraps to make the headband, which I just braided together and fit to my models head. Then had my model shop in her closet to get the soccer socks we used, and all of her accessories.
