Summer is a time for sunshine, music festivals, and feeling free.  This season, the fashion is no exception.  With an abundance of clothes and accessories to fit the trend, you can be hippie chic in time for the concert next weekend.  I’ve listed some of my favorite pieces for achieving this look on any budget.

1. Feather Earrings – The hottest new accessory for summer, adding them to any outfit instantly gives it a hippie vibe.  For even more of an effect just wear one extra-long feather.
2. Crochet Vest – One of the season’s most fun new trends, it comes in so many styles to choose from.  Long, short, or with fringe, you can find the perfect one for your style.
3. Cutoffs – What hippie look would be complete without jean cutoffs?  Definitely the easiest piece to find, you probably already have a pair in your closet.  They are available in every price range, or be daring and DIY from an old pair of jeans.
4. Sandals – Leather sandals complete the look, personally I’m a fan of the ones with fringe!
5. Maxi Skirt – Nothing says peace and love like a free-flowing skirt.  You can find them in most retail stores now, and many websites offer organic free-trade versions.
6. Woven jewelry – Even if you don’t want to do full-out hippie, adding some woven bracelets to your look is a fun way to incorporate the trend.  Etsy is a great place to find unique handmade bracelets and anklets to compliment any look.

When getting dresses you should always try to have something in your outfit make a statement. This statement can be a vivid print, ruffles, glitz, a great pair of shoes, a head accessory, a handbag, or jewelry. If you want to make your statement with jewelry, a necklace or earrings are a good way to do so. Both of these items are going to be noticed since most attention for others is to your face or neck area. Less noticed are the wrist but there are plenty of great statement bracelets out there as well.

One of the biggest trends this Spring and Summer 2011 is fringe and there are a lot of excellent fringe necklaces, earrings, and bracelets to choose from.  Unlike fringe clothing where the material used is a light fabric that moves and flows easily fringe jewelry is made of metal most of the time so it is not going to move as much.
