Twisted and Tied

Top: Forever 21, Skirt: Forever 21 (similar), Necklace: The Mamba Braid c/o 31 Bits, Shoes: H&M (similar)

I wear variations of outfits like this pretty much all the time. Especially lately now that it is so warm every day. Tied-up t-shirts and easy, comfy skirts are one of my favorite looks. And I'm pretty sure the total cost of my shirt and skirt from this look was less than $15. Thank you Forever. Throw on a fun accessory and you've got yourself an outfit! 

Which leads me to this necklace. The lovely ladies at 31 Bits sent this over to me and I am crazy about it! Not only is it adorable, but they are one of my favorite jewelry companies out there. If you don't know about them, their mission and purpose is what makes them so incredible: using fashion and design to empower women to rise above poverty. Women in Uganda create these fabulous pieces (out of 100% recycled paper) and 31 Bits sells them to help generate an income and sustainable business models for the women in Africa. Their pieces are amazing too! Definitely go check them out and take a look at their new Color Out Loud line which has some of my absolute favorites.

  6. You look super cute with your shirt tied like that. I'm pretty sure I haven't tried that trick since the 90s. Maybe it's time to give it another shot :)

    1. Thank you! Haha it's the best! Just like the 90s! It's how I double the use of dresses and stuff cuz I'll just tie up a tank or t-shirt over it for a new look. I literally do it all the time!
