Obviously Empire of the Sun knows what's up because Vogue Italia claims that the "Mexican Look" is in....I'm guessing this translates into the 70's renew craze going on right now in stores like Urban Outfitters, ASOS, Topshop etc.
Looking at any of these sites you'll find that their "trend reports" are flooded with wedges, peasant blouses, chunky jewelry, and floppy hats!

My mom is a self-proclaimed "Queen of Disc"o and found this recent development as a opportunity to explain to me what a great fashionista she is/was back in the day.
Apparently she too used to wear platform wedges like these and owned a Mexican worked leather satchel likes these which can be found anywhere online;
Digging around through my closet I found that she was right...some clothes I have that used to belong to her definitely fit this trend, as well as my Grandpa's old guayabera.
I also found some of my jewelry that I never wear, but definitely should start like these earrings my friend brought me back from Mexico, and this awesome 2 finger ring I bought at Forever 21.
I think that since I am not really the sort to go all gung-ho bohemian (my style really is more of a 50's house wife or 60's mod, at least that's what I like to think) I do have a few items that are a subtle nod at to trend, like this great Dia De Los Muertos printed dress I bought at Shroeditch Market and these great woven wedges from Miss L Fire.
"Keep on Keepin On"!!
I do love this look. I don't really own a lot of items that fit it though.
ReplyDeletePersonally, I will always dig the Native American look. I like looking like I'm wearing a Navajo rug or something.
I think you do! In my opinion the Native American look is like a cousin to this one ;)
