rainbow brite.

dress: american eagle, vest: express, necklace: f21, shoes: jessica simpson, bracelets/rings: vintage, sunglasses: h&m

one day soon i promise to wear an all black outfit, but for today it's more bold colors :) nashville is sweltering with 90 degree weather, so i've been a slave to flowy skirts and dresses these days.

btw - how cool are these sunglasses?? i borrowed them from my brother and am seriously obsessed.

When I first stumbled on it, i was attracted by this very Indian looking girl with a very western and fun sense of dressing. This post didn't disappoint. You have a fab sense of dressing. I love the colors! :); August 23, 2011 at 2:57 AM
