TRIBAL PRINT PANTS AND A STATEMENT NECKLACE

Not really sure why I have this mean mugging look on my face but I'm really happy about these pants! lol. I love playing with prints and printed pants are so easy to style.

P.S. Remember I told you you'd be seeing more of my statement necklace? Totally wasn't lying about that! :)

What I Wore: DIY Necklace: Crafted by Talia
Printed Pants: Charlotte Russe
Sunnies: Rayban
Shoes: Sam Edelman

I'm finding almost any excuse to wear my new statement necklace but as you can seeeeeee... it goes well with just about anything. Part of my comfy chic style is having the flexibility to dress up any casual outfit with heels and jewelry. Fashion tip from Jo's closet: Get a light knit sweater in every color lol. TRUST. It seriously is the best investment pieces ever in life.

Try Forever 21, H&M or Charlotte Russe. They all have really cute options.

Happy shopping and happy Friday everyone!

WORK IT OUT

Healthy life, healthy body, healthy mind.

I've been trying harder to stay active in 2014 so I've been hiking almost every weekend that I'm free. Since I spend so much time either at the gym or doing some outdoor activity, you'll catch me in workout gear over my usual jeans and a tee. Gotta stay cute even if you're working out! lol. I'm loving my Colosseum Brand workout gear lately. They're cute and fully functional. Looking to stock up on more for my next adventures!

Don't wish for it, work for it.
