Outfit Idea of the Day: Tribal

 Tribal is huge for this spring/summer. A lot of colorful prints and fun accessories. Here is an easy and affordable way to rock the trend.

I love this tank with the beading around the color it does part of your accessorizing for you and the print is really fun in a fresh color palate.

Yes I am back to some more coral but I just love this color and these wedges are fun and would not be hard to wear as a pop of color for outfits, but not so bright that you couldn't wear them as a neutral.

Outfit Idea of the Day: Spring Printed Dress

 A spring-inspired dress is one of the easiest looks to throw together and still look really put together. I liked the deep navy and gold colors in this one and the length is appropriate for work. Throw a navy, gold, beige or whatever color cardigan over it for work or cold days and you have a cute outfit that will ensure you look polished.

I love this ornate looking bib necklace in gold it will really play off of the pattern in the dress and give the look a modern-vintage feel.
