Lookbook: Paisley Print Denim, 'Steal' Sandals & Splash of Neon

I am a big fan of whimsical fashion sketches/graphic prints on t-shirts and tops. (see the outfits with runaway print, ballerina print) so when I spied this soft chiffon top at Chicnoa.com, I was already planning my outfits and styling options! It is sheer, but with a white cami, it shows off this chic fashion sketch very nicely! The caption says 'strike the pose' so you have a reason to strut the sidewalk when you wear this!!:-)

These paisley print pants came from the clearance rack at H&M for just $15!! I had to wade my way through a VERY messy section of H&M store at 34th street ON A WEEKEND, but I knew I had a treasure in my hand when I picked them up! They fit so nicely and I love the delicate print and little hint of pastels in the paisley print!

Accessory Report

Enamel Bangle - Kohl's (Exact)

Stud Rivet Bracelet - Asos (Exact)

Chain link bracelet - c/o Maya Brenner (Exact/ Option)

Jade Ring - Forever 21 (option)

Gold Disc Ring - Gift (totally loving this option)

These heels I got from GoJane.com are a very close copy of Sergio Rossi Oberoj sandals. Given the fact that 'the splurge' is priced at $490, I din't do bad, right??

Needed to get my hair done before today's outfit shoot! The humidity making the frizz come out!
