Forget being a girl about town. Why not become a girl of the world? From the exotic desert cities of Morocco to the jungles of Indonesia, it’s time to bring the world traveler look to your closet. Just to be clear, we’re not talking about the shabby chic and rugged aesthetic of a backpacker; we’re talking about the glamorous styling of a girl who’s been to some of the most far-flung locales in the world.
So how do you incorporate the world traveler look into your closet? Think tribal designs, printed kaftans and beaded sandals with a heavy dose of ethnic jewelry and sun-blushed skin. Head out into the city, wherever you are, and see where the world takes you.
