A Little Bird Told Me You're The Traveling Kind

I am preparing to hit the road (tomorrow). I will be venturing to Kansas City (by way of Oklahoma City) for a few days to visit one of my sisters and then taking a road trip through various states and national parks to conclude in Washington State again. I've been itching for some new scenery, so I'm quite excited about this trip, though that has not made me finish my packing in a timely fashion...I will continue to update and post when and if possible.

Also, I had a mini-swoon when I stumbled across the bird claws available at Talonalia. I snagged myself the Magpie necklace because magpies are attracted to shiny objects and are notorious thieves--that is the type of bird I can associate with. I'd love to get my hands on the Owl too and layer them...
Outfit details: sweater- Banana Republic, dress- Urban Outfitters, tights- Forever 21, shoes- Bona Drag, bag- Shopruche, talon necklace- Talonalia
P.S. This dress is the one I remixed here.

I love this look, you are combining your disarming innocent cuteness with some darker elements like that evil bird claw necklace and the black lace tights and dark red lipstick. To die for!

magicnina said...

Amazing pictures! You look stunning and adorable:)

Nadine said...

The necklace is totally awesome :).

Diane said...

love that sweater

Mae (Ko) said...

I'm not generally a fan of leopard print (or is that cheetah?), but when it's such an off-beat, novel colour like mint/sea-foam green, it transforms the print into a quirky, charming classic.

You are so versatile in all your pieces, with a signature style all your own, an admirable and enviable quality. I love how you can use one piece of clothing and make twenty different outfits simply by accessorizing or swapping out a shirt or cardi.

This particular shade of red is ravishing on your skin tone. Bravo, Kitten.

Agnis said...

Lovely blog and outfit. I'll be following you :)

yiqin; said...

I love your tights. I have awlays wanted one like that!

Sarah said...
