I loved this look by Chiara Ferragni, one of my blogger loves, from The Blonde Salad when I saw it a week ago. One thing I noticed, though, it’s a bit expensive for something that is easily done. I started thinking about how I could put it together on more of a budget. Most items I already have in my closet, at least similarly.
The top and jeans are both from Hollister. I know many people have a grudge against the Abercrombie companies, but I love them. It can be expensive, but the sales are great and the clothes are not bad quality. I don’t usually have problems with the fit of jeans and bottoms, which is normally a huge problem for me. Having the logo blasted everywhere doesn’t bother me too much either, I find that it’s normally buried under a jacket, scarf or top. I think a lot of the discrimination comes from the frequent wear by tweenies and not “the blogger types,” but that’s not my problem. I make a conscious effort to avoid brand discrimination, I never know what treasure could be hiding within the walls of a store, why cut myself short?
On a less bratty note, I also want to thank everyone for the wonderful comments. I opened this blog privately a month ago and made it public at the end of November and I’ve had more of a response than I thought I would. So thanks everyone, you’re all so, so wonderful. 🙂 The time I’ve dedicated has made me want to spruce it up a little bit (already, I know), so I’m brainstorming ideas for a redesign. Hopefully I’ll have it up in the next month!

Super cute outfit!!
Bjs, Ana
Thanks 🙂
I love her tattoo on her wrist! That is so unique! And those jeans are GREAT!
They are! And she has some really cool tattoos, on the inside of one wrist is a map. Probably one of my favorite tattoos ever.
I agree with your thoughts on brand discrimination! Just be yourself & wear what you want! I love your version of the look, btw (:
