Tribal Print Obsession


I'm not joking.

I am totally obsessed with all things tribal.

I went to look for a dress to wear to an upcoming wedding and came home with two tribal print items instead.

First up, this Forever 21 top......

It was only $12.80!!!

For that price, it would basically be unjust to not own it.

Right?

The next item I found was at a local boutique, Red Poppy.

But I need your help.  This is my first maxi skirt.

Do I tuck my top into the skirt or not?

And is black the best color to pair with it?

HELLLLLP!!!!

Now, did I find a dress to wear to that wedding?

I did not.

But that just gives me another reason to go shopping.






Linking up with The Pleated Poppy,

    I'd say tuck it in, but I'm not really a fashion maven, so I'd listen to whatever other people say. :)

    I love both of these pieces but especialyl the skirt! GORGEOUS! I like the top untucked personally but I think you can wear it both ways and look great. That was a tough decision! :)

    The good thing about maxi skirts is you can really wear it either way. Leave it out for a casual Saturday out, or tuck it in to be more polished. You could even pair it with a cute cropped blazer to dress it up even more for a date night!! Love the skirt and top!!!

    I'm with you on the tribal print obsession! I was so not into it at first, but I've grown to really love it.

    I second Rebekah up there. Tucked for polished, untucked for casual. Loooooove maxi skirts & dresses. Even though I'm way on the short side. They're so comfy!

    I think you can wear the top either way...tucked or not tucked. The skirt is really cute!

    Tuck that tank in! You could find another black short sleeved to wear out.

    I think with your trim waist, you definitely need to tuck in!

    I love both those prints! Super cute, girl! :-) I like both tucked and untucked. I think you can just play around with it. :-)

    $12.80 for that shirt?! Amazing! I would say definitely tuck int the shirt - maxi skirts tend to look more refined with a tucked in top. I think the skirt looks awesome with black, and it would also look cool with gray, chambray, white, or even yellow! I am excited to see what you come up with!

    Tuck it in! I love maxi's tucked in :) This one is so cute, I love the pattern! You could definitely wear it with black, or denim, grey, blue, green, just about anything really.

    I like the black and I think tucked in looks the best!

    I have one maxi skirt, and I never know what to do with it! When I tuck my shirt in you can see the lines of it across the butt - so annoying! But if I leave it out then I looks a little frumpy and thinck around the waiste band part. #fashionchallenged

    I like the black and I liked tucked in. I bet brown or white would look good with it as well?

    I love maxi dresses for summertime! That one has a great pattern! From your pictures, tucked in looks really cute, but it drives me crazy to not have a long shirt pulled down over my waistline. So I would probably wear it untucked. Either way looks good. I need to check out Red Poppy!
