Bright Colors and Bold Prints





Sweater ($15)--Marshall's
Jeans ($10)--American Rag
Boots ($10)--American Eagle
Bag ($5)--Lulu's

I wasn’t sure how I felt about this tribal print sweater when I saw it at Marshall’s, but after thinking about it, I came back a week later and bought the last one. For only $15 and made by American Eagle, I’d say it was a pretty good buy. I love the fun colors and the only thing that would make it better is if it had longer , more form-fitting sleeves. This look is completely bohemian, and I even pulled out my worn fringe bag for old times sake. 
I think I'm going to start posting what occasion I wore my looks for because I want my photos to be as genuine as possible. I want my blog style to be my real style and not something separate from everyday life. I would wear this sweater to school, but it's still too cold! I couldn't get as many photos because I was freezing to death haha. Midwest weather, I tell you... Hope you all are staying warm!

I've always respected you, your style, and (of course) your blog. So no need trying to convince me about real-life style or anything. I've always been a fan of yours and have always respected your work.

For this look, you are once again a fashionable ray of sunshine despite the beautifully snowy Midwestern weather. I especially appreciate the blue as a lover of blue. The fringed boots are surely a sweet compliment to the jeans and the sweater. Great looks here!

Yay for bright colors! :) I live that sweater and that is a pretty good deal! Tribal print is so popular right now and I love it! I have a scarf juat like that that I never wear but you're inspiring me to pull it out! Love the coral color of your beanie too. You are too cute!

The way you color coordinated the outfit is simply amazing! Haha I think it was a great idea that you changed your mind and managed to purchase the last tribal top! Great buy indeed.

i agree. your style should be your real style and not something separate from your everyday life. i think that sometimes people get lost on trying to incorporate the newest trends and fashions. i think that style is totally separate from that.
i love your photos in the snow! and you find some great buys! -xo.melody
