SUMMER FASHION 2014
ARTICLE BY FIDM STUDENT DEAUNDRIA WILSON

S

chool’s out! So we all know what that means. It’s time
to pull out the shorts, sunscreen, and tanning lotion. True, its
summer, but who said us girls can’t still look hot during the
heat? Whether it’s just a regular day at the beach or going out
with your girlfriends, you want to look good. Well here’s your
personal guide of what to wear and how to wear it. Most people
kind of go overboard when it comes to summer, but little do
they know it’s not that hard. With the popular summer looks of
this year, you are sure to accomplish the look that best suits you,
and who knows, you can show off a little.
Floral prints are for the girl who’s reserved but still has a girl
side. This look is more common, but gives off a fresh and new
kind of vibe. This design lets you embrace your inner lady.
There’s so many ways you can dress this look up. From belts
to hats or those perfect pair of sandals you’ve been waiting to
wear! Floral prints come in soft pastel colors and vibrant hues,
all of which are in some variation of the garden theme. This
print can be bought in almost any type of clothing. There’s
dresses, sunglasses, shoes, swimsuits, shirts, shorts, and even
skinny jeans. So there is always an option when it comes down
to putting an outfit together with this print.

High waisted everything.

The design high waisted has been around way before
our time. But it seems to making a HUGE comeback. There
are high waisted shorts, jeans, skirts, and even bathing suits.
I believe that with the right accessories anyone can make this
look work. Plus with so many different stores opening you can
get a pair for just $20 or less. There are many combinations that

can be put together with high
waisted shorts or jeans. Crop
tops, tanks, t-strapped sandals,
and the lost could go on and
on. They are a very versatile
addition to any wardrobe and
are a fun look for summer and
spring. So it’s not just something you can wear for one
season. High waisted bathing
suits give off a bashful and
also sexy look. No matter what
body type. Personally I love the
look of a high waisted bikini
set. Mostly because it covers
more but its still fashionable. I
strongly suggest girls try these
out!

Be BOHO chic

This style of fashion is
mainly based off of bohemian
and hippie influences. Believe it
or not this look is also another
look a lot of people love! Dressing boho chic is to be the opposite of tidy, it’s like a dressy
messy. But in a very stylish
way. It is about looking like you
have thrown on the pieces as
an afterthought of your multitextured, easy-going, and earthy
personality. Some items to help
you accomplish your boho chic
look include: detailed embroidery, long flowing skirts, flowy
tops, faux fur vests, distressed
denim, skinny jeans, or boyfriend jeans, cropped military
jackets, hobo bags, gold hoops
and bangles, bracelets, scarves,
and sheepskin boots. As far as
the boots go I wouldn’t suggest
