Every year I tell myself I’m going to make the six hour trek down south and go to Coachella. And every year it comes and goes with me not present. One of these days I will make the effort to be there, even if I’m one of those amazingly awesome 60 year old women braving it in a desert tent.
Despite not being there, pictures from this year’s Coachella are bringing out my inner flower child. It’s all about crop tops, relaxed denim, lace, leather and rock and roll tees. That’s why today’s dress for less is inspired by Kate Bosworth, one of the few celebrity queens who successfully dressed her way through the festival.
And here’s how you can get Kate’s lacey look, for less:
Clockwise from the top left: Urban Outfitters Highway color lens aviators, $14.00; Nasty Girl exposed lace top, $32.00; TopShop lace crop top, $50.00; Urban Outfitters braided rope and leather cuff, $8.00; American Eagle slouchy shorts, take an additional 20% off $39.50; Madden Girl Exciting buckle bootie, $49.95; Forever21 cut off trim tank, $6.80
I love this outfit as an easy, summertime look. Bring out your chic hippy with braided jewelry, distressed denim, and crop tops (but don’t show off too much tummy by layer it like Kate did, or with high-waisted pieces to avoid looking trashy).
Is this a look you would try? Have you been to Coachella or any other music festivals? What are your go-to pieces? Let me know!
