RUSTIC

Wide Brim Hat c/o Oasap, Skywalker Moto Jacket c/o Forward To All, Lace Mesh Dress c/o Sugarlips, Double Buckle Belt from Forever 21, Opal d'Orsay Heels c/o Sam Edelman

I couldn't really decide on one direction to style this look in, but I knew that I loved the way these pieces all looked together! I suppose you can call it a mix of western and tribal, with some pilgrim inspired flair though! I remember when this hat used to be my go-to accessory for my hair, and then it lost its throne when my white flower crown stepped onto the scene... I'm glad it had a chance to make a reappearance because its a piece that adds a lot of personality to a look.

The dress that I'm wearing today is from Sugarlips and I love that it combined both the mesh, applique, and paneled trends into one garment! I didn't want this look to be completely black so I threw this tribal jacket from Forward To All over my shoulders for some contrasting values and prints. The shiny texture of these Sam Edelman heels were perfect to counter the matte appearance of the rest of the look. Plus they heel height is very comfortable; something that I'm beginning to take into account more due to all the walking I'll be doing when I move to New York.

Laslty you may have already seen from my Instagram sneak peek, but I've been collaborating with Dahlia Wolf and they have produced a burgundy gown for sale based on the original, brown lace applique dress I designed here! It will be available for pre-order soon, so I hope that if any of you guys liked the original one, that you'll like the burgundy one enough to purchase one for yourself! Special outfit photos for the gown will be posted to my blog once the dress is available for pre-order :) In the meantime, I want to say a heartfelt thank you to Sugarlips/Dahlia Wolf for picking me for their first blogger collab!
