Penny Chic

Every fashion publication is presenting their perfect Coachella look for this weekend. For those of you who don’t know, Coachella is a three day annual music festival in the desert of California. Lots of celebs attend each year and it’s become the destination for the cool girls to wear their skimpy bohemian garb. Click here for examples. I’ve never been to Coachella, because it usually falls on my birthday weekend, and to be honest, getting heatstroke is not on the top of my list these days. Sometimes it gets in the 100s, even in April!!

Sarah, today’s model, was my very first model back 2 years ago when I initially came up with the idea for Penny Chic (I didn’t actually start it until Fall 2010). We’ve known each other for 20 years! She’s now started her own blog called Labelholics Anonymous where she recreates designer runway looks for less. She’s so talented, check it out!

If you do happen to be going to Coachella this weekend, you should definitely throw on this look or something like it. It costs $30 total including the shoes! The romper (dress with shorts) is made of cotton and breathes easily. The shoes are part of the comfort collection and have a cushioning that makes wearing a wedge very pleasant, and the hat is just plain rad.
