When I first started to see the fashions that were coming out this summer, I wanted to cringe. While I’m a huge fan of the boho chic look , I just couldn’t wrap my head around the whole “hippie” vibe of wearing Birkenstocks, fanny packs, flower crowns, and multiple layers of fringe. My tune has changed now that we’re at the height of this hippie summer, and I’m excited to mix fashion with function and comfort. Get on the hippie train this summer and move some of these on-trend items to the top of your must-have list.
