Create This Look – Turquoise Tribal Floral Chiffon

This Week’s Create This Look This Weeks Look is got to be my favorite so far. It is inspired by “Frisson & Sand” Dress fromModCloth.

Happy Monday! Can you believe its already February?! The “Charmer In Charge Top” from ModCloth was my inspiration this week.

According to ModCloth, the polkadot top they have in stock is made of Read More...
