I will be the first to tell you that I'm not really a fan of tribal. It's really hit stores in the past year or so with a bang. This shirt/dress however I love and it's because its a true tribal outfit not something you are going to find at Pacsun or Urban Outfitters.
Again, another hand me down from my sister. I feel so lucky she let me hang on to it as long as I have. I think it's so beautiful and I get the greatest compliments every time I wear it. I think this is because it's a very unusual outfit. I personally have never seen someone wearing one of these around before, at least here in SLC.
I am not sure exactly to where my sister got a hold of this little number, but I come from a family of hippies that find cool authentic clothing everywhere they go.
My favorite part of this shirt is the pocket in the front. It's the shape of a heart and it's very discrete....however it so big it takes up the whole shirt.... isn't that cool?
I decided to wear a group of many types of bangles. I think they go very well with the shirt... I mixed gold and silver....
.....and a GREAT pair of dangle earrings which were yet another hand me down from my mother. They are PERFECT with this shirt. My parents and I used to spend my younger days going to music festivals every weekend and she would always get jewelry from them, I'm pretty sure this is where she got these and I loved them so she handed them down to me....I feel so lucky every time I receive something from her. They all tell a story.
Another sentimental gift. I remember being a little girl and seeing her wear them all the time. I used to always touch them because they have little indentations in them that feel really nice on my fingers.
To keep the look casual I wore my maroon vans to go with the maroon type color that shows in the shirt....
I went very simple with the hair today and put it up into a top bun. I did this more the settle the outfit down and show off the beautiful design of my shirt/dress.
Remember that you can always bring a little culture into your wardrobe with a shirt like this, or hand made earrings like the ones I wore today. The best finds are ones that you know you can't find anywhere else such as art festivals, music festivals and second hand shops...
Enjoy!
