a little bit prep, a little hippie chick

{ What I Wore: StyleMint tee // ShoeMint Mona loafers // Old Navy Rockstar skinny jeans }

{ Get the Look }

tie die scarf {$27.90} + gold loafers { save $39.00 // splurge $129.00 } + skinny jeans {$29.50} + white tee {$25.90}

I think my style is pretty classic/preppy but with just a splash of hippie chick 

(for the "hippie" part, I blame thank my parents, my college experience, my love of farm fresh goodies from the farmer's market taken home in my organic bags, and the good vibes that I get from recycling)

Regardless of how I define my "look", these shoes are amazing (no ifs, ands, or buts about it ladies)!

How do you define your style?
What a hard question!

leopard save

Last week during my Jason Wu fueled shopping trip to Target, I picked up another gem too - leopard print jeans! I have been eyeing the fabulous Current/Elliot leopard skinny jeans spotted on Celebs and Fashion Bloggers alike. But not having $200 to spend on fashion jeans, I was beyond thrilled to find a near identical pair for under $25. Seems like Taylor of Curly in the City shared the same thought bubble - as she just published her smart purchase too... what a savvy girl!

{ Real / Steal }

Which one do you prefer?

I wore my fashion steal out recently, but can't wait to wear them more this Spring and Summer

StyleMint tee {Wilshire, sign up}
Target leopard jeans
Charlotte Russe booties {out of stock, similar}
ModCloth necklace {currently out of stock, you have to stalk it!}

Showing my fierce face, and rocker attitude! It is so sexy to save!

Despite the crazy pattern, I think these skinny jeans will be quite versatile for casual and dressy outings now and into warmer months... 

Here's how I plan to be working them:

Polyvore dream board: leopard 2 ways

{casual}
{ Suede flats / Pink sweater / Moto jacket / Chain necklace}

{dressy}

{ Pink top / Black blazer / Black pumps (or here) / Statement necklace }

Are you convinced?
Any fab fashion steals lately? Dish, I love a good bargain!
