Pop of Color

Jan 27, 2017 · by Kara Tapangan


Guys, I’ll be honest, 2017 is kicking off a great start. The weather has been perfect, school is rolling along, and I’ve just been so inspired to start a couple new projects with my blog. One of my goals is to create more looks that are affordable and utilize pieces you already own to recreate more outfits!

I was so excited to shoot this look last weekend because our “winter” here in San Antonio is about 60 degrees. I paired my OTK grey suede boots that were a regular on my winter line up with a long sleeve tribal print romper from last summer. It definitely may be an outfit combination that’s only possible during a “Texas” winter, but I figured why not take advantage of the perfect temperature!

The last missing piece of my outfit was a much needed popof color. So I was so excited when my friends over at Coach reached out to share Signature Dinky Crossbody from their Pre-Spring 2017 Collection in the color Flax Oxblood. Trust me when I tell you it’s the softest leather you’ll ever feel. I automatically fell in love with it and paired it with my romper as a clutch.

I get so many questions about my grey OTK boots. As much as I would LOVE to snag a pair of Stuart Weitzman Highland boots, my dental school tuition definitely doesn’t seem to agree! So instead, I snagged mine from Nordstrom during their big anniversary sale for less than $200! Didn’t grab em? Don’t worry! I’ve tagged a couple pairs below that range in price (one’s even less than $100!).

I got stopped so many times to ask about my outfit details – definitely going to wear again!

Thank you so much for stopping by and have an amazing weekend!

      Thanks, Lauren!

      It definitely got a little chillier here today, but Texas weather is the strangest!

      These boots definitely get a lot of mileage out of em! Thanks for stopping by!

      xoxo,
