Gypsy : My Stevie Nicks Inspired OOTD

Hello,

I cannot tell you how much I love the band Fleetwood Mac, especially the band's badass front woman and rock goddess,  Stevie Nicks. She is so fabulous and I have probably seen her live at least 3 times. Well inspired by her fabulous 60s ways of gypsy +boho , I have created an OOTD that I thought it was very Stevie-esque. :)

Circus Chic

Hello All,

So recently I went to the circus with my parents and it felt just like when I was kid again! Of course, my first thought was oh my, what will I be wearing? So I finally came up with a cute summery outfit with some basic white jeans and a fun tank top. So check out my outfit of the day I call it 'circus chic'.


I love this shirt. I love the fun print and especially the back. So cute!!!


grey flats that I bought from a Texas Style Council event in Austin, I love them !




So here's the breakdown of where I purchased all the items of my OOTD.

Tank: Charlotte Russe
White Jeans: Vigossi from my favorite Loemanns
Turquoise Ring: from random vendor at a jewelry show in Houston
Shoes: Soda


It's not a circus without elephants :)



Also I found this picture of me and my favorite person in the world, my beautiful grandma Rhoda. I thought it was funny, since she hates being in pictures.Btw I am making her smile, hilarious!



Until my next post much love,

Alex
