Neon Tribal

Earlier this week you saw the shoes. Now see the outfit. Behold, the 'Bud rocking it tribal style and making it modern with fresh pops of neon. The dress, a handmade garment made from Guatemalan cloth, and recently acquired from a nearby consignment shop, has been on constant rotation, meaning that I've pretty much worn it non-stop since I got it. And I thought a great partner to this tribal print dress would be this wonderful jacket: a geometric woven cotton coat, courtesy of MARKETPLACE: Handworks of India.

The jacket is a prize- it'd be so perfect as an outer layer for the hot summer days in my hometown, Sacramento. I love the tribal yet modern look of the weave and the cut. Christened the Amrita Jacket, it's woven in lightweight cotton, has a subtle detailing at the lapels and draped side panels, which I feel, give it an avant garde appeal. For some reason, I wore the jacket belted, but I can't wait to style it on the loose, thrown over a tank top and paired with shorts and some gladiator sandals.

Lorissa is mixing things up with an unlikely combo of sequins and flannel. I love the results.

Trendy, affordable pieces is a specialty for Heart Clothing Boutique. The small space is packed with fun finds.

When I was visiting the shop with my new blogger buddy, Lorissa, who writes L on Sac, I snapped a few shots of her in some of Heart's many lovely outfits, my favorite being the classic striped Breton sweater that fell at just the right length below the waist. Lorissa is currently in Florida taking care of her grandpa who is ill, so a California shout-out to you, L, and looking forward in hanging with ya, soon.
