*tshirt some dude gave me that i cut up into a tank, UO shorts that i also cut up, boots given to me from my rad boss, gifted KONSTANTINO bracelet, UO hat, vintage peruvian llama bag, DIY dreamcatcher necklace that i made 2 years ago and never wear.
it's such a gorgeous day!!! if you don't know already, i HATE winter and everything that comes along with it (ie: dressing for the cold. not my steeze.) i feel 100% myself in attire appropriate for a 90 degree day at the beach. ie: this outfit.
i've been searching for the perfect flat brimmed black hat for months now, and just so happened to find this one at urban outfitters the other day. i'm not really a hat person, but i have a feeling i'm going to be wearing this with pretty much everything for awhile. hats have a strange way of completing an outfit no matter what.
(so here is the promised photo of the llama bag. insane, right?)

okay, on to the good stuff...
madeline works at konstantino, a high-end jewelry company sold most notably at neiman marcus. when she sent me a text message proclaiming that she had a $900 gold and silver bracelet with my name on it... i pretty much freaked out. i have NEVER in my LIFE owned anything this nice- part of me thinks i should have the clasp soldered shut so it will absolutely never come off of my wrist.
my bracelet is sterling silver and 18k gold, designed and handmade in athens, greece... as is all of their jewelry. konstantino is definitely one of the most ethical companies out there right now- supporting individual artisans and women while donating to charities and not practicing exploitation for financial gain (ie: outsourcing to china, bali, etc)
i've never been so proud and honored to wear a piece of jewelry before. you should really check out all of their stuff on the neiman marcus website- there are some amazing pieces that are semi-afforable, depending on your budget, such as this gorgeous pendant for $120: here
thank you madeline!!!

first things first, I am so jealous that you were gifted a billion dollar piece of jewelry (well, in my financial terms, $900 is somewhat equivalent anyhow) but second, I LOVE that crochet cardigan and I'm just going to assume you thrifted it since there was no mention of it in your post! diggin' the new scenery, too.
I think random un-disclosed remote locations are good for outfit pics. No creepers.
this bracelet PLUS a llama bag all in the same post?! oh yes yessss. xx
These are beautiful...
Just as I was preparing my self for the cold winter months, you show us this gorgeous warm weather/totally inspiring outfit and my head screams "NOT READY!!" lol
Loving on it something crazy!

I love this outfit! Not only does it look super comfortable and practical, you also have really amazing conversational pieces. Great find with the bag! Also, very jealous of the bracelet, I would feel like I'd need it chain-locked to my wrist, as well.

now thats a cute purse! :)
Ah, thanks for such a great post Brit! Also, I am so glad you got Mr. Llama!
Ooooh! I'm obsessed with your bag. A freakin' llama, oh my gosh.

Ugh, being super awkward, I am pretty sure I've never ventured beyond "rad pants!" commenting territory, but I'm a huge fan of your blog. I really look forward to your outfit posts- sooo envious of the way you seem to throw things together and pull them off perfectly. I think the correct word is "insouciance", but I also think that I'm not quite pretentious enough to throw that word out there. BTW, looks like we have a bit in common recently, i.e. the NYLONKorea accessories feature and the overwhelming generosity of Madeline/Konstantino.
Ok, that is all.
You have such killer style, Britney! It's simple yet complex and elegant yet disheveled. I can tell you're kind of shy but I hope we can become better friends soon! <3
I love your outifts, they always break the mould and show a true presonal style! That vintage peru bag is amazing xx :o)

Very cool DIY. I love the dye colors on the top as well. I tend to make my old t-shirts into tank tops. I'm almost constantly tempted to turn any old thing into a tank. But I live in the North East, so just end up with way too many tank tops to possibly wear within a three month span of summer.
Those boots are killer. Ive been wanting a tye dye tank as well. Amazingagagaga!!
