Honestly, who doesn't love
Savannah Outen? She's the girl everyone wishes they were, and this
lovely candid captures that sentiment -- she seems to even radiate
light! A part of Savannah's charm is how sweet and
"regular" she is, and I love this outfit for that reason: a
simple black tee and jeans customized to her own style is an ensemble that
every girl needs to have in her closet. So put on your favorite
jeans and kick on some fun shoes, then let your own golden side shine
through! |
   
Savannah's plain black tee
shirt is a completely blank canvas, like the Flutter-Sleeve V-Neck ($24)
by GAP. For a monochromatic top with a fun and fancy twist,
try another GAP design, the Tuxedo Tank ($28) -- the tux pleating is so
flattering. I'm personally a big fan of black-and-white, so I
couldn't resist the Three-Button Tank by Charlotte Russe ($24.99)
or JC Penney's tie-backed black rûched top ($21). Adorable! |
Savannah's humongous
leopard print purse is wild (pun intended) -- try these zebra-patterned
bags from Primo Purses (both styles $32) to shoulder in the urban jungle... or school hallway.
 
Wildcats not your cup of tea
(unless they're Troy, Chad, or Ryan, of course)? Try a gemtone
argyle satchel ($53) or, my favorite, polka dots ($25).

Savannah's four-strand gold
headband is so simple and pretty. Gazzu has gorgeous embellished cord headbands for only $7 in a rainbow of
colors (with cute names!). I chose "Fireside,"
"Blueberry Meringue," and "Caramel Cream" to show above!
 
For a throwback to the 1970s,
try a fabric headband, like Janimaru ($3.99) or Granny's
Closet ($4). These are sure to give your look a splash of
bright color, so make sure all of your accessories coordinate!
  
If you want to be a golden
girl like Savannah, and want a little drama to go to your head, the
feathered headband from Grey
Owl ($15) is sure to tickle your flight of fancy... or channel
Rapunzel with the golden band by handmadecrafter ($5.89). But for the ultimate gold bauble, Shannon
Hazell's bubbly creation ($28) takes the cake and is almost like a
tiara for everyday! |
   
OK, so I can't tell if
Savannah is wearing a necklace, but I never feel like a black t-shirt is
complete without a pretty contrasting necklace. These shining
strands each impart their own emotion -- Primo Purses' Buddha palm
($8.99) feels peaceful; BirdzNBeez's
Aerosmith-esque clockwork ($29) just screams "rockstar!", and chinaberry's
delicate gold vintage bow ($10) may as well be a silver spoon in the
mouth. And Dolls &
Molls' elephant ($9.99)? He's just cute!
 
I am in love with Leelu
Q's sunny flower necklaces. The big enamel flowers are
reminiscent of mod jewelry from the swinging 1960s, and the little details
-- like the glittering flecks in Cinnamon's ($36) beads or the tiny
chartreuse ladybug in, well, Lady Bug ($32) are definitely
conversation-starters.
 
These eclectic pieces
sparkle with a splash of color and heaping helping of personality. Offbeet
Boutique has a few different designs of their flowered enamelwork
($13), and they all feel like Strawberry Shortcake cartoons to me -- sassy
Orange Blossom, anyone? But my favorite piece of all is the
Spearmint necklace ($21) by Pollyanna
Cowgirl -- the candystripes of cool green are perfectly refreshing
for a hot summer day... or when that special boy is "walkin' past you
through the halls"! |
