Daily Outfit: Heavy Metal

i just love chunky jewelry!!

there used to be a time that i would never mix metals.   i am still very conscious of when i do it.  if i have gold studs on my belt, that dictates that my jewelry should all be gold and if the buckles on my shoes are silver, then my other accessories should also be in the silver family.   Crazy? ok, maybe just a little lol but we can't help some of our little idiosyncrasies (notice that the word crazy is kind of in the word idiosyncrasies lol).  as i was saying, there was i time that i would never mix metals BUT, i have given that up loooong ago.  the way i accessorized this outfit is proof!  just look at all the different metals that i have on!  though i am not totally hindered by what metal i have on, i am definitely mindful of making the mix subtle.  it works because it's all spread out so you can't really tell.  everything just flows without competing.  my necklace is definitely the focal point of the outfit (and so is my hot pink tank) with the other metals accessories as accents.  i especially have an affinity for chunky pieces; chunky jewelry makes me feel so rock goddess... not really sure why but, then again, who cares why!!   the goal is to put together a memorable outfit with ease and i think that mission is complete!

Daily Outfit: Native Plume

 

 

 I love that you can glam up an entire outfit with a turban. Is it a hat? Is it a scarf? The concept had my co-worker completely intrigued...and then impressed. It's a little bit of both in today's look, accenting a plain white tee and a dark navy skirt. I love mixing different materials and I was excited to pair my vintage wool skirt with this leather bomber jacket.  I had to bring in the tribal trend with my suede fringe studded booties (worn so many times before, but this is their debut on the blog.) They always seem to get compliments, people are digging their playful vibe. And they feel like slippers, so I enjoy that. 

Who wouldn't want to add vintage pearl clusters into the mix? Studs, pearls, fringe and leather- oh my! It's the details that make this outfit come together into a luxe-hippie-chic dream come true. I had so much fun with this look...it definitely makes me feel like a Premiere Fashion Maven!

PS- did you notice that this title is keeping with Sesheta's "Native Plum" heeheehee we are so harmonious!
