How to Look Like a Punk Princess
The punk movement, which included music, culture and fashion, got its start in the mid-1970s by working class youth in London and New York. If you want to dress up like a punk from that era, look to early punk bands such as The Sex Pistols and Blondie for inspiration and add your own princess twist. Cut your hair into jagged layers or dye it with bright semi-permanent colors, such as green. Choose an edgy look that still shows your sweet side.
