Safari!

It seems that each season, this trend pops back up. And I love it. There's something uber summery about safari prints and shapes. I know I'll probably never be able to afford a real African safari, but I can pretend in some of these clothes! I really love how neutral the colors are, so they look good on just about everybody. I think my favorite look is the belted shirtdress from Charlotte Russe (here's the link, it's an HTML image so I can't post it here: http://www.charlotterusse.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3958606). It's only $26 too! I love how you can pair it with a pair of like brown leather flip flops (stay away from rubber ones with this look or you'll just look sloppy and weird), or a pair of gladiator type heels (see, you can TOTALLY mix trends). The one thing I ask, if you buy this outfit, stick with browns. I HATE black and brown together. So wear brown shoes and stick with brown hued jewelry. Purple would look pretty with this though, just to add a pop of color. Maybe a jeweled type necklace with purple and turquoise? I think that'd be cute.

LOVE these shoes too if you want to go the flat route: http://www.charlotterusse.com/product/index.jsp?productId=4021974

If you want to go the heel route, something like this would be sweeeet:
