Fall To Pieces

Mixing prints has always been such a favourite thing of mine to do…there's just something about trying to combine two completely different prints/pattern and creating an interesting outfit. 

I kept my hair simple and messy, like I usually do as the "bed head" look always seems like the easiest go-to styling.

Crosswalk Top- Nasty Gal

Skirt- Forever 21

Shoes- Jeffrey Campbell

At the very beginning of the Summer, I remember styling this aztec inspired mini skirt in a post back when I lived in the city (SEE HERE). The styling was pretty different back then, as there was a much more polished feminine quality about how I had chose to pair things. However, this time around I wanted to the styling to be a little less feminine and slightly possessive so I paired the skirt with more darker elements and less accessories. 

The top I'm wearing is one I got from Nasty Gal and didn't quite think I'd actually like it or even wear it  but it seemed fitting for this look as the surprising element at the back adds for a bit of un expectance with these ginormous buckles crisscrossing each other. The look itself is great for Summer and with the addition of the black kimono it could also serve as a great transitional look from Summer to Fall, with little tweaks here and there. Summer is almost over and I'm really sad that I'll have to go back to long hours working in the studio plus no more super sunny weather… oh well that's just the game of life.

Bohemian Rhapsody

BlueVelvet Crop Top- American Apparel

Fringe Kimono- Necessary Clothing

I'm pretty much the type of person who is overly obsessed with anything fringe, especially on kimono...it's literally my weakness and sometimes I have to try hard to talk myself out of going crazy and buying everything fringe. This kimono that I'm wearing has to be my best one to date! I really love that it has aztec-like print all over it, with black fringe trim detailing along the hem line. I decided to pair this lovely kimono with a bright blue velvet top that is one of my recent purchases at American Apparel. I've recently been head over heels for velvet tops and skirts, especially when its a very simple top/skirt. I added the blue as a pop of color and with the velvet texture it makes the look a whole lot more interesting, giving depth to the ensemble. For my accessories, I wanted to add  hints of gold accents since this whole look could have quickly turning into an "all black" combination. For those of you who have been asking... I didn't cut my locks, it's just all pinned up in the back with the front looking a bit longer. I think it's important for me to kind of change up the styles I do with my hair because sometimes I get really tired of it. Anyways, I'm off to a busy day of work and school so I hope you enjoy this look and feel free to leave a comment down below.
