Retro Child

Words by Kate Wotherspoon

I was playing dress up on polyvore again and came up with this handy dandy collage. Lately, I seem to gravitate towards plaid, sweatshirts and chucks. Maybe it’s the summer air telling me I should be camping in my latest outfits or maybe it’s the 80s and 90s inspiration all over the streets, but i’m into it. Chill, easy, and most importantly, comfortable.

I think my must haves out of this collage would have to be the Zara shorts, I purchased them in black and live in them now, and the Kenzo tiger sweatshirt. I’m also coveting the leather vest and mini leather backpack. I’ve been on the search for a cute little leather backpack! The style I want seems to impossible to find, any suggestions?!

Check out my inspirational photos below! Thanks for stopping by! @theparallelroad on instagram, twitter and polyvore.

From fringe shorts to crochet crops, wide brimmed fedora’s and straw hats, Coachella and music festivals galore give high fashion a whole new meaning.  Serape prints and 70s inspired shades, flower crowns and cowboy boots have never been so chic! Check out my fave snapshots from the last two weekends in Indio, California and additional inspirational images to see what summer trends are here to stay!
