Midis and Midriffs: Tuesday Yea or Nay

Having only recently recovered from our very own swinging Mission Creek Festival (every year we say the same thing...we are getting to old for these late nights), we couldn't wait to see what the fashion scene would be like at the 'to cool for school,' quirky grandmother of them all, Southern California's Coachella festival.

(getty images)

After the first weekend, up pops this hot and spicy, midi and midriff little number. Both fun and ladylike at the same time, who knew that a little skin could look so conservative! The high waist of the skirt makes this look surprisingly wearable by most us non-six-packing-possessing ladies. Love the print, love the shoes, love the 1940's bathing suit slice of midriff.

We call ADORABLE! What about you? Midis and midriffs....Yea or Nay? Love this look?

We threw down a challenge for Shop Owner Sheila! One garment, 3 different looks. As per usual, she rose to the challenge and styled three different outfits built around our sunny, bright Zig Zag En Fuego Dress ($32), available exclusively at Revival Online!


Look One: Laurel Canyon Lovely


Mix one part pretty with a large dash of funky and you get Laurel Canyon Lovely- an adorable style. Free and easy, this is ideal for the gal who goes her own way...or at least dreams of Coachella and beach parties.
