Coachella Inspiration

The annual Coachella Festival will be kicking off this weekend, so you can expect to see and hear about it for days. With the festival taking place in the blistering heat of the desert for a cost that can be half a month's rent for many of us, you would assume most would turn it down. Well, that's far from what actually happens. For years, thousands of people would purchase their 3 day passes to enjoy the festivities regardless of the price or heat.

Although I've never attended Coachella, from what I've always noticed about the way people would dress shows that it's all about channeling your inner hippie. Many are there decked in their best bohemian looks, which I love! Quite frankly, it's what makes the most sense for being in the sun all day.

Here are some of the key pieces that I would choose for creating a Coachella inspired outfit.

Banana Republic

Wide Brim Hats: The secret to staying cool while under the 90 degree sun, is by wearing a wide brim hat. You'll look cool and feel it as well.

Jimmy Choo

Retro Glam Sunglasses: Rocking these retro inspired style sunglasses will kick your laid back look up a notch. 

Free People

Romper: A romper is my 'go to' piece when going out on a hot day. This white lace romper is lightweight and great for the boho inspired look. 

Rebecca Minkoff

Fringe Bags: One can not have a bohemian outfit without fringe! A fringe crossbody will carry your necessities and complete your festival look. 

Cynthia Vincent 

Gladiator Sandals: Embrace your femininity with a sandal like the gladiator. It adds a fierce "I am woman, hear me roar" element to the hippie outfit. 

Now whether you'll be attending Coachella or not, this is one of many bohemian inspired looks that I love for the warm season. Unfortunately, New York seems to be a late bloomer for Spring weather, which has been keeping us New Yorkers from pulling out our Spring wardrobe. I'm anticipating the warmer days to bring outfits to life for you guys. 

I do encourage everyone to try this look, or one similar, for a casual day out. Also, feel free to share your thoughts or ideas in the comments section.

Sincerely,

Lyasia
