Petals on Concrete: bohemian

In the Navy

I cringed when I noticed that I am wearing a hair tie around my wrist in every single one of these pictures. It's a really bad habit of mine. Anyway, I really liked this dress that I bought from Tobi.com because it has such a bohemian feel to it. It's loose, simple, and the sides of it are a little flared out and longer than the center hem of the dress. I also like how it has a nice little braided detail in the back for interest. It's the perfect thing to wear to a carefree day on the beach. I added simple accessories with it--a straw sunhat, beaded bracelets, and a spike necklace...and, ugh, my favorite hairtie.

Festival Wear: K'mon and Have Some Fun!

I absolutely loved wearing this Kimono to the festival. It looks so simple and versatile from the front, but its back has such pretty colors that really do demand a double-take. The design almost reminds me of a back tattoo, and it feels a little edgy because of this. The other pieces are fairly simple--a flirty bustier with cute little eyelet details, and some high-waisted cut-off shorts (pretty much staples at any festival). I added the turquoise necklace so that there's some color in the front; I chose a whimsical color in keeping with the others. And because they are the smartest type of footwear you can have at a festival, combat boots were the final touch.

(P.S. that last photo is of me in this outfit and my super stylish friend enjoying my favorite band, Rudimental! I was so hot from dancing and jamming out that I had to take off the kimono, hehe.)
