Get the Look: Groovy Baby

Another trend spotted on the Spring 2010 runways was one that evokes the free spirited 60's - tie dye. It was spotted in almost every piece of Blumarine's collection, but Tory Burch and Proenza Schouler also integrated it into their collections. (Photo credit) I especially love the vibrant colors used in the Blumarine pieces, but all of the clothes shown below put a modern twist on a retro print.


If you want to add some tie dye into your wardrobe, I found some great options for you - all under $150! Here are my picks (as always, click on any photo below to purchase/for more information):

Victoria's Secret Terry Tie Dye Smocked Dress - $24.50 (on sale)
This dress is a dead ringer for last year's Juicy Couture terry tie dye dress (which retailed for $148). Also comes in green or black!

Forever 21 Tie Dye Maxi Dress - $27.80
Reminiscent of the Gypsy 05 maxi dresses, this is a great budget friendly option.

Roxy Surfari Cover Up Dress - $39.50
Love the bright red color of this tie dye swim coverup (that could easily double as a dress).

Rachel Rachel Roy Sexy Dress - $99
A more sophisticated take on the typically surfer girl tie dye print.

Lucky Brand Striped Tie Dye Cami - $12.99 on sale
Pair with some jeans and sandals for easy and affordable summer style, also available in brown/pink.

Forever 21 Striped Tie Dye Tank - $11.80
Also available in white/turquoise, this tank will allow you to try the trend for less.

Banana Republic Stripe Tie Dye Timeless Tank - $20
Get the tie dye trend plus a dose of nautical with this striped tank top.

Roxy Surfari 70's Halter Bikini Top/Bottom - $68 for both pieces
Basically the bikini version of the coverup/dress featured above. Love it.

Victoria's Secret Tie Dye Sexy Bikini - $39 for both pieces
I love the bright color of this bikini (also comes in a blue/turquoise combo), it reminds me of a summer sunset.

Gap Tie Dye Triangle Top & Bikini - $65 for both pieces (click HERE to purchase)
Thinking of getting this bikini for myself, love the navy/red color combo!

Lands End Women's Cotton Scarf - $29.50
Love summer scarves? Inject a little tie dye into your wardrobe with this cotton version from Land's End.
