  • Summer Style Inspiration: 'The Hannah Montana Movie'

    In the movie, there are glamorous, laid back and girly styles. While Hannah Montana spends her time in fancy and fun clothes, Miley Stewart is portrayed as a small town country girl who can pull off a cute look with simple clothing.

    Whether you're reaction is "EW, Miley," "YAY, Miley" or "Miley? Who effin' cares!," the fashion in "The Hannah Montana Movie" can be for more than just kids and can inspire your summer style too. 

    Although Hannah Montana was created to entertain kids, I caught myself keeping up with the show. When the movie came out in 2009, I forced my friends to accompany me in the movie theater. I wore my Hannah Montana shirt and was surrounded by kids and their parents. I felt no shame knowing the lyrics to the songs and singing along with the little girls I was sitting behind. I'm a teeny bop at heart, sue me.

    The fancy and flashy lifestyle of Hannah Montana is one side of the best of both worlds. It's full of sparkles, sequins and straplesses. Here are a few outfits inspired by Hannah Montana. 

    This isn't a really a grocery shopping or taking out the trash kind of outfit. This is something that can be worn for a dinner with the girls. After dinner, the shoes will make it easier to walk around in the summer night.

    These outfits were only inspired by the styles of the two sides of the character. Even though the movie wasn't for my age group, I recommend it to those who just want an innocent film to watch. Who knows, you might get some style inspiration out of it like how I did.

    What's your favorite outfit? Have you watched the movie?
