You all know I love textured skirts, but this outfit feels a little too casual. Even adding a sheath to the bottom of the existing skirt would have made it feel a little more elevated…that being said, I need This makeup tutorial stat.

More animal prints! This is another look that feels both vintage and casual. But still, everyone knows the 2000s are back — and as a proud brown and blue girl, this color combination scratches an itch in my mind.

Okay, I love the shades of green here, but if I could change one thing about the dress, I would change the waist of the pants. This just isn’t working for me.

There’s a little too much going on here… I probably would have replaced the jacket with something more understated so the animal print could really shine – or even ditched the jacket for some kind of sheer or studded shirt over the bikini top.
