Tribal Meets Nautical
Necklace Zara, Boat Neck-T Forever21, Jacket Forever21 similar here, Boots Zara old, Jeans Current/Elliot similar here, Lipstick NARS DragonGirl Happy Monday! A musing on print mixing today, only this time its clashing accessories with the print in order to create a bit more interest. Enter a killer Zara Tribal necklace that has yellow pieces on it that a friend described as looking like teeth… very tame. Enter a nautical simple t-shirt that I love yet somehow is just a touch too preppy for my tastes.

All Black with a Punch

Tis the season for shorts, or as we call it in Seattle: the season where you reuse your winter sweaters in order to be warm enough to wear shorts. That, however, is not a criticism or something I am complaining about as I love sweaters all year long and you can see above I am only too happy to pair a cozy sweater with some choice ankle boots in an attempt to be seasonally appropriate and most importantly, warm. This particular Elizabeth & James sweater was an acquisition from last…

The Talia Sweater (knock-off)
They say the mark of a trend is seeing people sporting the same item/look with pride versus with disdain and horror at their lack of originality. Unless you have been completely avoiding the fashion world you know that the Rag & Bone Talia sweater is one of those pieces that trancends our tendancy to avoid conformity. In this beauty you will be taking instagraming pictures with a fellow cohort wearing it versus avoiding them across the room. Varsity Sweater Forever21, Assymetrical Skort Forever21, Boots Zara old My personal measure of how great an item is can be measured by 1) how quickly/well/frequently it is knocked-off and 2) how quickly said…
