Outfitted: The Ants Go Marching...

Hi lovelies! I hope everyone survived the first day back to work after the long weekend. Not much to talk about today, I feel as if I've droned on and on about DCT and I packing, moving, and unpacking; and unfortunately that's the only exciting thing going on in my life right now, haha!

What I can talk about is today's outfit :) As I mentioned in a previous post, I've become obsessed with, what I call, micro-animal prints. I love the optical illusion, from far away you see just a printed top, but up close...are those ants on your shirt? Why yes, yes they are :) I bought this shirt a few weeks ago during Anthropologie's Semi-Annual Clearance sale and couldn't wait to style it. Its so playful and quirky and adds just the right amount of personality, I mean how many people are walking around with tiny ants on their shirt? :)

'Till Next Time...

Sunday Obsessions: Tribal Beat

 So the other day I lost my turquoise cocktail ring that you've seen in many of my pictures. I really liked that ring and I had just bought it too, so I'm really annoyed with myself, I'm notorious for losing jewelry especially pieces I really like. As it stands the random pieces of jewelry I do own are all jumbled together and half of them I don't even wear so I'm thinking a spring cleaning of my jewelry box is in order as well as some purchasing of pieces that I will actually wear (and hopefully not lose!).

Right now I'm really into jewelry that have a tribal, native, afro-centric look to them. Blame it on the fro, it makes me think I'm some African warrior princess living in the Nigerian rainforests....yeah, I just went there ;] Putting my slightly demented fantasies aside, I decided to search Etsy for some tribal-esque jewels. I've never really shopped shopped Etsy before, just kinda glanced through from time to time, but they have tons of really unique, one-of-a-kind items and I figure why not give some support? Check out some of my finds below...
