Old Gap Cargo jacket, Forever 21 dress, Urban Outfitters skirt underneath, Asos boots, Forever 21 jewelery, armor ring eBay, Marc by Marc Jacobs handbag
The tribal trend for this spring and summer is a great excuse to pile on the jewelry and other accessories. I found this little tunic dress at Forever 21 the other day and thought it would look great with my over the knee boots. I mean literally this dress is little, probably because it is meant to wear as a tunic over pants, but I wanted it as a dress. It hardly covered my unmentionables. So, I had to play with ways to keep it rated G. I tried the dress tucked into a skirt. It was pretty cute, but the fabric was a little thick and bulky. So, I decided I will just keep the skirt on under the dress for a little more coverage. You can hardly tell it isn't part of the dress. I also wanted to wear a cargo jacket with this look. I would have loved a longer cargo jacket that came below the dress and hard oversized pockets, but sometimes you just have to work with what you have!
I am really enjoying the over the knee boots from Asos. They were on sale and worth every penny. I can wear them all the way up or fold them down for a different look. My armor ring was fun to wear too. It is funky and really stood out. I love bold accessories. Don't be afraid to play around. I almost added a long necklace to layer with my short one and that would have been fine. Yes, there are style rules, but rules are meant to be broken.
Check out my past tribal trend here.
I also wanted to say thank you to Tayler (love the name) from Big Hair and Bikinis for emailing me this surprise portrait of me. It is flattering to have someone draw you and she does an amazing job. Check out her blog for more blogger portraits and great fashion and style!
I was also equally flattered that Sugar Darling Vintage posted this about me. So sweet and I feel the same about her! Post about that later this week!

That portrait is gorgeous! I am so not artistic so I always admire someone who has that talent. Beautiful Tayler!
Love that tunic ! I must have it, so up my ally!
Great look! Lovely dress!
Lovely etnic styled top!
See I saw that tunic on the F21 site and wasn't really moved by it but now seeing it on you I'm really tempted to order it. Damn you :)

This is a fantastic look. It seems different than what you normally wear (at least to me anyway :P) but I absolutely love it.

lovely outfit, I adore the mixture of the print dress with the cargo jacket!

amazing outfit !! Love the dress and those boots look stunning !
Diggin' the tribal look! :)
love your rings and that amazing jacket!

the 2nd skirt underneath is a great idea! Being tall makes normal length dresses look like scandalous minis on me, so I usually wear thick tights underneath. But this is a great alternative~ must try it out :)
Thanks Taylor!

I bought that dress last season and still think it's one of the best things I've bought at F21. I agree about its length, but the fabric, design, and gold piping are great for F21 standards. Do you agree?
Oh, and I love the green jacket over it.

I love this dress, and your hair. I have bangs too, but always thought they just looked better on blondes. You rock them well. love your blog.
That dress super great!
thank you everyone you all are so sweet!! xo
Love the outfit and that portrait is amazing:]
That's a fabulous illustration of you... I love it!
The dress is pretty and I know what you're saying about doing a rated G... that's why I can't resist wearing tights even here in sunny Manila... most of my dresses are too short. Hahaha!
Have a great day! xoxo
i love the jewelry you wore with that outfit Taylor! super pretty. by the way, i hope you don't mind me sharing this tip. if you want to get rid of those blue outlines around your images that are hyperlinked, add border=0 into your code at the end before the > tag closes.

i love the tribal print! so gorgeous :)

Again you nailed it out of the park! Great outfit!!
Oh and thanks for the sweet comments on my blog!!
Looks great!
Love your outfit, especially the jacket!
xo
I am loving that jacket! I have tunics that I prefer as dresses as well and I think this skirt is a great idea. (and you're right it looks like it's part of the dress) Also American Apparel has little biker shorts that work great too :)

that dress is soooooooo cool *.*
I must be much shorter on you because I have the same "tunic dress" and it's more than halfway to my knees on me! Almost awkwardly long - maybe I just got a f21 defect. ;)
I also have the ring (in that color and the purple too!) How do you deal with it turning your finger green? Or do you not have that problem? That's my only complaint about it :/
omg! loving the dress... and the aqua ring! totally nice! wow! tribal style is cute!
Fabulous tunic and rings! You rock it :)
I have dress which is again like you said does not cover the necessary regions well and i wore it similarly during winters but now its way to hot to try this look again :)
LOve the colors in the dress :) nicely worn :)
Looove this outfit, real hot. xx
Wow Super cute dress! I'd love to wear that to the beach!

i am dying over that turquoise ring... i am currently obsessed with turquoise.
loving the tribal look.
I love the ring!! xoxo
Well, the entire outfit is pretty darn wonderful! :)
Wonderfull jacket ! ;)
Love the tribal dress. Such a great pattern. I also am really digging the boots. I like how comfortable they look.
I use the skirt under tunic secret very often. Opaque tights work wonders for teeny tiny "dresses" also.
Love the look!
thanks so much for the comment! your blog is great - you are so pretty, and I love so many of your outfits! will definitely be back!
Love this look. Tribal is a total excuse for color and more more more accessories. I just cant say no to that! That ring.. ugh.. love it!
I love this entire look and your accessories. Love the boots as well.
Love the cargo jacket, just bought one of my own.
i just passed up a tribal dress the other day because i knew i didn't have the right sort of things to go with it, but that jacket and ring are the perfect complements! love that backdrop as well.
