In fashion, the juxtaposition of different styles can present a beautiful mess. Here, Peyton Pritikin makes this rugged feminine look WERK. With her bohemian babe curls, this Chicago native lays down the rules for edgy sweetness, and we’re not talking about jolly ranchers here, people. With an Indian inspired love for maxi-everything, Peyton reflects her free spirit with the proper threads.  Wearing a Free People cream colored dress trimmed with lace and ruffles, our girly-gal toughens you up with her Zara combat boots. Combats have been the rage for a while now, but we adore this musky brown, foldover style. To offset the sass, Peyton throws in delicate starfish earrings and a matching gold watch. Different pieces of jewelry usually determine this freshman’s outfits, so she’s bound to frame her looks with complimentary details. Learn a thang or two from Peyton and don’t be afraid to juxtapose some of your fave styles.
