As the weather warms up, it seems local fashionistas have jumped at the opportunity to ditch the heavy winter garb for a lighter wardrobe.

Fashion designers such as Emilio Pucci, and Diane Von Furstenburg sent fashion models sashaying down the catwalk draped in quintessential gypsy inspired pieces, factoring into the ‘70s trend for spring 2011. Always right on time, Gypsy Genres favorite Boho queen, Vanessa Hudgens, along with style icons like, Jessica Alba and Drew Barrymore gravitated toward long, airy, sheer silhouettes covered in abstract patterns and animal prints, adding a bit of glam to the bohemian aesthetic.

Why we love the maxi dress? It's super sexy, can be dressed up or down, and is an iconic '70s hippie chic staple piece, whats not to love? To wear the maxi by day, add a fringe belt tied low around the waist, leather sandal and floppy hat for a care free look and by night go with a platform wedge shoe, accentuated with chunky bangles, large hoop or feather earrings. Make sure to keep your makeup fresh, and natural for a flirty flower child look, think Cher. With the myriad of chic, reasonably priced styles available, finding the perfect maxi dress should be no problem. If you’re looking for something truly unique and original, shop around at thrift/vintage stores or rummage through the attic for mom’s old duds. Feel like splurging?
