Casual Tribe

Time for the reveal....
Looks like a dress...
Nope...Top!
Wait 'til you find out where it's from??



Top: Forever 21  (Similar Here)
Shorts:  Joe's (Similar Here)
Clutch: Nicole Lee  (9West Version in 9 Colours $20 Here!)
Bracelets: Forever 21, Ebay
Sandals: MIA  (Similar Here)
Sunnies: Marc by Marc Jacobs  (Get it Here)

It has been a very busy week!  This week, my office moved so I had to stay late and pack up.  I finally feel like I have some time to catch up this weekend.  The heatwave I wished for last week did finally arrive, and it came back in full force, it's 95 degrees today!  And guess what I'm doing?  Photographing for September of course!  I couldn't have picked a better day to photograph my new leather pieces...  Be careful of what you wish for!

  2. Well, it's smart to wear it as a top. It's lovely. But it COULD be an incredibly interesting dress. ;P

    Have a great weekend B!!!

  7. I just saw a dress similar to this in the Free People catalog, $228 for a gauzy, sheer thing. Yikes! Maybe browsing F21 would be a better option!

  12. You look like you're ready for a stroll by the lake, an ice cream cone, and some window shopping. Sigh... here in DC I already need a light jacket in the evenings (I was shivering last night!). Not that I miss 95 degree days but I'm not sure I can let go of summer quite yet. On the bright side, September isn't going to be too cold so we can still sneak in some sundresses and straw hats.

  13. Moving is a pain! Sorry about the heat wave you can some to SF it's been cool and foggy here all week. I really like your top very cute.

  16. Gorgeous, Bessie!!
    The tribal vibe to this outfit is very appealing, and it seems to be heatwave friendly, specially when you have to look perfectly camera ready! Apart from the working side, hope you're enjoying the sunny promenades, all along!

  29. You got me! I totally thought it was a dress when I first saw it in a previous post! But is even cuter than I imagine, and I love all the tribal vibe that you have infused in this outfit. I also adore all the accessories, especially the bag! Good luck with the moving, I hope everything is done by now and that you can enjoy a nice weekend! And let's hope that that heatwave is the last one for this season!

  36. I like your hair like that! Looks awesome! And that orange bag is so cool...not sure I could fit a whole lot in it though? Does it fit a lot of little stuff (wallet, etc...) or does it mainly fit flat stuff (phone, etc...)? :)

  37. How about that? An awesome blogger from Chicago! I really gotta follow now ;)
    Great outfit post!! Hmm.. I missed the 95 degree weather! I stayed indoors for the most part! I should really be indulging in these last few days of summery weather as it won't last for too long!

  39. What a beautiful outfit you are wearing ! You are looking lovely ! I love the styling here, your hair tied up high and those lovely danglers-they go so well with the outfit. Coral /orange is my favourite shade right now and I am feeling happy to see hints of orange/coral everywhere-in your bangles, nail, bag, earrings and lipstick.
    have a nice day !

  45. That looks perfect for summer. I like that orangey bracelet you have even if I have given up buying any at F21. :)

    I can't believe you wished for another heat wave! I'm the total opposite, I don't like the temps to get out of the 70s.
