Hippie Chic

The hippie culture was first introduced during the mid 1960's according to Wikipedia.com. Like most movements of old, fashion always seems to come around full circle and the hippie influence is NO different. Hippies explored with clothing such as bell bottoms, dashikis, peasant shirts, full skirts, sandals, vests, tie - dye, and other bright "psychedelic" colors! Today's post will explore how to look take a modernized approach to dressing hippie chic!
