Weekend Wears: Navajo Inspiration

Outfit:

Navajo Inspired Poncho Sweater- Gypsy Warrior / Dark Skinny Jeans - H&M / Leather Ankle Boots - Primark UK / Leather Satchel - Zara / Lightweight Scarf - H&M

Just when I thought I had switched over my wardrobe from winter to spring at the right time, I find myself freezing one minute, sweating the next.

Mother Nature, please stop letting me down. While I absolutely adore this poncho-esque, Navajo print inspired sweater that I purchased from Gypsy Warrior, I'd like to save my knits and woolens for next year. Loosen up, geeze.

I wasn't particularly in the mood this weekend to get uber dressed up being that I had a doctor's visit on Saturday, and my husband and I were headed down to south Jersey for a change of scenery. This sweater was perfect as it keeps me warm, and lets me break up my normal sweater routine. However, I think the one redeeming quality of this outfit was the scarf. I felt I needed some type of hipster accessory to make the outfit complete, and this lightweight scarf from H&M did the trick.

Can't wait for Wednesday's post - bare legs! 

Local Natives

Two interesting facts about myself that relate to this outfit.

1. My family's ancestry includes Native American roots, as my grandfather's mother was Native American. I've always loved this about my family being that I have yet to run into anyone else who is Native American. Hence, the tribal, Navajo print on my oversized sweater lets me celebrate my inter Pocahontas.

And 2. I purchased this sweater in a hidden gem called Gypsy Warrior in Ridgewood, New Jersey. The gypsy theme ties into my family again, as supposedly, we had gypsies in my family, too.

I've read about the store, and stalked their online shop for months. Finally, I took a ride up to their store and felt like my punk rock inner was right at home. You must check them out online at GypsyWarrior.com, where I purchased this sweater. If you like studs, leather and have a tendency to wear black, than I encourage you to check them out!
