Four Elements Challenge {Earth}

I don't know about you, but when I need some fashion items for less I turn to Forever 21. I can always count on them for disposable garments that are on-trend without breaking the bank. They offer several different lines including Capsule 2.1 and Love 21, amongst others.

Love 21 has just released a new Lookbook for summer with a slew of new clothes. It's cleverly entitled "The Elements of Style" and the concept centers around nature's four elements: Earth, Fire, Wind and Water. Pieces are designed with color and characteristic in mind. Browns and olive green, muted oranges and yellows for earth. Bright red, burnt orange, sunshine yellow for fire. You get the picture.

I am embarking on yet another month-long shopping diet, but I am completely inspired by this concept. It is my goal over the next several weeks to shop my closet for an outfit representative of each element. To get the ball rolling, I have already designed an outfit for Earth. 

I own quite a few army green/olive garments and the outfit I originally picked out for this post showcased some brown buckled ankle boots and an olive button-up utility dress. When I finally got dressed this morning, however, I decided I would take a chance on a dress I have been waiting to showcase. This dress is a hefty weight, soft and sturdy material, and a vibrant kelly green. The fit up top is just a little off for me. I was waiting to get the top altered before I featured it in a post, but I was truly feeling it this morning. I feel like Link from the Legend of Zelda games (don't stone me for that reference, please).
