Trend On The Rise - Rockabilly

With a nod to the bad girl pinups and rockers of the past, rockabilly style incorporates fun elements such as flared skirts, leather jackets, animal prints, checkered patterns, and studded accessories.

Here is my modern interpretation of the rockabilly trend with my new checkered top from Charlotte Russe, my "London Rocks" muscle tee from Forever 21, and my 1980s-inspired ghetto blaster handbag. Other interpretations might include: fishnets, capri pants, 1950s-style dresses, cherry prints, pompadour hairstyles, or horn-rimmed glasses.
