Back to Cool: Dirty Dancing

If you're feeling back to cool, then I've got another dose of inspired ensembles.

If you're feeling back to cool, then I've got another dose of inspired ensembles. This time, I'm channeling the nostalgia of one of my favorite film classics, Dirty Dancing. Oh, who could forget Baby and her coming-of-age quest in the Summer of '63? Once she meets Johnny it's buh-bye family fun, hello sexy dance parties. But aside from sultry Summer love, it's also a study in easy, retro-fied chic. Steal Baby's signature style with this Seven For All Mankind Oversize Shirt ($155), or do like Baby's big sis, Lisa, and try preppy pearls and a pretty party dress like this ModCloth Periwinkle Prance Dress ($99). Just remember — "nobody puts Baby in a corner!" Shop the style by clicking on the items.

Love It or Hate It? ModCloth's Orbital Headband

Love the unconventional? ModCloth has something just for you, then.

Love the unconventional? ModCloth has something just for you, then. The brand's Elegance in Orbit Headband ($80) is an avant-garde approach to the headband trend that's been so wildly popular over the past few years. Accentuated with a snakeskin-like finish, the "rings" affixed to the headband can be worn across the eyes as shown in this picture. Or, if you're feeling more down to earth, you can position them behind your head. A surprisingly versatile piece it may be, but would you wear it, or is it too out-of-this-world for your liking?
