Color Play

(jacket and scarf-H&M, skirt and top-UO, belt-vintage, shoes and socks-H&M, necklace-F21, bag -vintage Bally)
This outfit was inspired by a photo I found while leafing through the latest issue of Pop magazine. I loved the color palette instantly and knew I had to try putting something together in similar colors. This look is also inspired by all of the recent S/S runway shows, and the San Francisco Indian summer that has made the city muggy and uncharacteristically warm. There is also a hint of the Urban Warrior influence in this outfit, visible in my attempt to mix different leopard prints.
Starting my new internship at Nastygal this week and getting my hair done tomorrow, yeay for subtle changes in hair color and hour long commutes to Berkeley.
