Queen of the desert
Girls' Life magazine|June/July 2022
What would you pack for a road trip across the Southwest in 1975? Because that's the exact vibe for this summer: earth tones, cropped crochet, round sunnies, flowy fringe and billowy sets are the dream-but punched up for right now with luxe jewelry, saturated shades and modern moments. Time to cue up your Beatles playlist and hit the long and winding road, babe.

Found: Your New Favorite Neutral

We can't get enough of this burnt sienna shade (that's universally flattering, btw, and plays nice with jewel tones, too).

Shawl, $20, Forever 21. Top, $59, Molly Bracken. Pants, $148, Show Me Your Mumu. Shoes, $50, ShoeDazzle. Earrings, $95, Astrid & Miyu. Bracelets on left hand, $44 each, Air & Anchor. Bangles on right hand, $10 for the set, Claire's.

La Vie Boho

Two of the most iconic '70s trends (that crochet top with fringe accents could actually be vintage, no?) look absolutely fresh thanks to streetwear twists like clean white sneakers, doorknocker hoops and chain-accented joggers. This is the life, right?

Top, $12, Rainbow Shops. Pants, $80, 1.Am. Gia. Shoes, $45, Dearfoams. Earrings, $13, bangles, $10 for the set, and sunglasses, $17, all Claire's.

(Butter Flight of Fancy

Take the '90s (butterfly spaghetti strap cropped tank, butterfly-printed headscarf, JLo-inspired glasses) back to the '70s (double-buckle Western belt, linen A-line maxi) by way of the 2020s (chunky gold slides, bold gold ring) for a look that a works in any decade.
