Polk-a-Dots, Stripes and Zebra Prints…Oh My!!!

Hey you guys it’s been awhile…Sorry for the mini break but I’m baaaack!!! *waves cheerfully*  I’ve missed you all so much!! *big hugs*. I hope you all are enjoying your summer and scoring lots of cool and thrifty things!! I’ve been doing a lot of thrifting myself for my house trying to decorate and spruce up the place. I’ll be sharing some of those projects in my future posts. In the spirit of summer it’s only right my first post back is on this totally vibrant and colorful Indian inspired outfit that just screams bold and super fun!!

If you don’t know by now I must reiterate again how obsessed I am with long caftan tunic tops!! They are a great go-to for me especially in the warmer summer months. You can find many of them in the lightest and coolest of fabrics so they are absolutely breathable and comfortable during the summer time. I have purchased many of these throughout the years and they are always some of my greatest staples in my closet!!

.

 

I loved this particular one for obvious reasons as you can see. It caught my eye as soon as I noticed it. When thrifting especially I always step back and notice the colors and prints in clothes hanging amongst the other pieces of clothing and look for what stands out and catches my attention first. And Yes this top absolutely stuck out like a big beautiful ball of fun!! lol I just loved the different patterns and colors on this top. I mean from every different angle there’s a little surprise and party in store!!

The pattern mixing of the Indian print together with the stripes alongside the polka dots and mixed in with a some zebra print sounds all so crazy when you think of it but it just totally worked and came out so beautifully. It’s kind of like the circus meets the jungle meets Bollywood and I’m totally all here for it!!! lol

.

With the top being so busy and extra I paired it with a simple pair of light blue jeans and let the top do all the yapping lol.

.

Of course I had to pair this top with these beautiful handmade indian slippers I purchased recently. These are one of my favorite thrifting finds for sure!! I absolutely love everything about these shoes from the satin fabric, the intricate beading to the hand stitching and the overall shape and design of this quaint little shoe. I simply adore them and they are so comfortable. They are the cutest and very best thing I own close to being barefoot!!!

.

 

I also paired my outfit with this woven straw vintage styled handbag I’ve had for awhile now. I just love how this bag screams summer fun and yet still has a subtle sophistication to it with the leather like red trim and the cutest wooden handles. It is definitely different and exceptionally unique. I haven’t come across another one like it yet and I’ve had it for a good five years or so now.

.

.

And last but not least I paired my entire outfit with this mustard colored hijab to bring out the small hints of yellow in my top which I loved. And yes this hijab is the cotton jersey stretch knit fabric which I am totally loving right now….totally hassle and carefree!! Never mind my few wrinkles *sigh*…sitting in a car will do that to you lol.

.

Oh and did you notice *Vanna White hands* my zebra striped earrings that matched my top oh so perfectly?!? lol I believe I bought these from a street vendor awhile back living in Brooklyn. My step daughter asked if my earrings came with my top lol. I said, “Nope!!”, I just so happened to have them all along. I just love it when pieces in my closet all come together so effortlessly!! 

Welp…Until next time you guys *Waves*.  And I promise it won’t be too long!!

  2. I absolutely love all your outfits. My question is do you ever take others out thrifting with you to help get their wardrobe looking just as fabulous? I’m so in need of help.

    1. Thank you!! No I haven’t done anything like that as of yet but it’s definitely something I’ve thought about. Maybe I’ll open myself up to it in the near future 😉
