Return of the Wrap

I know, I know. I just talked a whole bunch of trash about the typical "going-out" outfit. But in my defense, this isn't typical. Yes, it may be a tight-fitting skirt. Yes, I may be wearing relatively common heels. But this outfit is still likely to stand out in any bar or ultra-lounge. The skirt is a beautiful emerald green that pops against the crisp white of the faux-wrap top (which I am completely obsessed with, as you can tell). I picked gold accessories because they are in keeping with the Grecian vibes of this top. No need to do anything funky or tricky with the footwear; some nice beige or blush heels are all that this outfit needs to to complete this look. If green isn't your thing or doesn't go well with your skin tone, I recommend trying this basic outfit formula with any other color of your choice!

Festival Wear: Green with Envy

 There's nothing I love more than a good deal, and this skirt was definitely a steal! I got it for $7.80 at Forever 21, and now it's even cheaper on their website. I actually originally wore a headband rather than a hat to the festival, but then that broke so I sought out another accessory. The hat actually worked better in my humble opinion. The maroon color helps pick up the colors in the floral print. I paired it with a vintage leather purse I got at an antique fair. I love its chain; it almost makes me feel like I'm wearing another piece of jewelry. Though I chose to wear combat books with this outfit, you could easily switch up the shoes if you want to keep it more girly. I could see some beige wedges, flats, or even casual sandals still being very cute.
