Concrete Catwalk // Tulips








this darling tulip scarf was sent to me by sweet katy from kansas couture
and i couldn't help adding a flowy favorite (also seen here)
and an edgy DIY skirt (seen originally here) to complete the look.
oh, and a hot pink belt + a flower necklace seemed pretty necessary, too.

speaking of hot pink... did you see how jentine rocked DVF scarf i sent her for the scarf swap?
uh, amazing. you'll have to pop over and see for yourself.
and don't forget to sign up for the swap - instructions & details here!

i thought i'd also share a TCC TV video i did a little while ago
that shows you how to tie your scarves into a fun turban or headband...
perfect for an easy summer 'do and great for protecting your locks from the summer sun!


outfit details from above:
scarf - katy
necklace - anthropologie
flowy tank - hemline
skirt - vintage, thrifted (altered by me)
belt - j. crew
sandals - target

  6. Ohhh, you look wonderful! I love the layered, floaty tank with the scalloped hem on the skirt, the floral necklace, the color scheme...well done! Regarding the arabesque, are you a dancer? Or did the outfit just inspire you and make you feel graceful? :)

  8. I love the proportions of this outfit! The asymmetrical top looks awesome with the scalloped skirt. And I love that turban look- wish I could do it in my hair but scarves always fall out (my hair is stick straight and slippery).

  9. hooray for flowy tops in hot weather, right?

    @angela - i danced for years and years (and still do from time to time), so the arabesque was a combo of that and the inspiration of the top. :) good eye!
