Colorado Girl

Hi you!
          Yesterday I headed back to New York (finally!) for my second semester, and I couldn't be more excited to be back. However, no matter where I go there will always be part of my Western roots in me. In this outfit I mixed in a little Colorado flavor with these cowboy boots I got for a steal at a garage sale and chunky Navajo-style necklace. I paired these with an uuber comfy striped sweater dress, tights, and red lips to give it a more modern look.



(Dress- Joe Fresh, Boots- Garage Sale, Necklace-My mom's design, Watch- gift)

I was going to post the song "Colorado" by the band Paper Bird but I couldn't find it so I'll leave you with this feel good ditty


Have a beautiful day!
