Modern & Edgy (for me)



I'm in LOVE with this seller homako.etsy.com on etsy. She makes wonderful, modern felt & fabric, wood jewelry. I ordered this black wooden triangle necklace and I am so thrilled. Wonderful attention to detail and beautiful craftsmanship. The packaging was really cute too!! So I paired my new necklace with a thrifted yummy sand color top that I paid maybe $1.99 for. I really like this outfit. I feel modern and edgy with the simple color palette and the edgy accessories. I'm loving my zip ankle crops from Fashion bug and I think it helps add to the modern feel of this outfit.  It's super comfortable and a fashion inspiration taken from fashionHayley.com. Check out her blog if you get a chance. I have admired how she adds bold accessories to a neutral color palette for some time and wanted to try it myself.

Not All Roses--


I really love to put modern and vintage pieces together. Today I decided to wear a skirt my Mom sent me, but I've not got around to wearing. It's a cute floral print that buttons all the way down. I've always admired other bloggers who put turquoise and red together and I've wanted to try that combination myself. I accessorized with pops of red, even adding a red daisy scarf to my vintage bag. I'm off to the library then grocery store.
