Simple And Sleek

Hello Everyone!  I am so excited about today's post!  I never would have thought to put these pieces together had I not the assignment of interpreting yesterday's running outfit into a street style look.  This outfit speaks to my love for bold and bright colors, simple and classic elements, getting creative and using what you got!  No need to go spend money when you can shop straight from your closet! 


Tank: Gap. Skirt: J. Crew (old), but here's one. Belt: Forever 21. Shoes: BCBG (old-mine are from Recycle Boutique), but here's a pair. Sunglasses: Blinde, here's a similar pair. Earrings: JoJo Loves You. Bracelet: belonged to my Grandmother-in-law. Rings: Tiffany and Diamonds Direct.
