Tonight I ventured into unknown territory for me these days — the local mall. The 14-year old Keira never would’ve imagined that she’d grow up and lose her affection for big indoor shopping centers.

jcpenney gave me a $100 gift card and a mission: find some tribal and tropical pieces to add to my spring and summer wardrobe and share them with all of you on the blog. My closet really needed a shot of color, so I was excited to get shopping. I found so many great prints and vibrant colors, and was pleasantly surprised at how far I was able to stretch my funds!

Here’s a little sneak peekage of the items I came home with…

I’ll work all of these pieces into outfit posts through the rest of the month, and keep track of all of my tribal and tropical inspirations from around the interwebs on Pinterest.

What’s your favorite way to work a little tribal or tropical vibe into your style?
