Denim and Stripes

Hello, all! I am super excited to finally post this outfit that I put together a few months ago. Isn't this skirt to die for?! I picked it up from a little boutique in downtown Willow Glen in San Jose called Ibiss. They have a similar one right now that they just put back in stock (I think it's called the Cupcake skirt). I didn't want to go the traditional route with this skirt--I thought a denim shirt was unexpected, and almost brought a farmhouse look to the whole ensemble. In order to still maintain some chicness and femininity, I added these cute wedges from BC footwear. And finally, to add a splash of color, my favorite coral statement necklace. You'll feel ultra-stylish in this look, but still casual enough to have a lot of fun!

A Tribal None Can Rival

I feel like writing about this dress is almost unnecessary because it practically speaks for itself. The colors are eye-catching and beautiful, and the dress works so easily from day to night. I feel like many women would shy away from accessories here because may think the dress would be too busy, but I think this dress shines even more when you give it another color to play with. This coral statement necklace really did the trick, in my opinion. I also think a burnt orange would really make the blues and whites pop--perhaps I'll try that later on. This outfit would be adorable for wine tasting or a wedding reception. Wherever you choose to wear it, make sure there will be a lot of people there because an outfit like this deserves to be seen!

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.)
