Converse Sneakers Week: Adding Some Funk to Basics (plus my Tulip Twist!)

For my last look for Converse sneakers week, I decided to step a bit out of my comfort zone and go for a look with a bit of an edge. I didn't venture too far out; this look is still fairly classic, but I wanted the details to bring a little funk. My chambray shirt tied at the waist, the bold red lipstick, and the patterned clutch all add a touch of funkiness to an otherwise classic tee and sneakers combo.

The pretty beaded headband I'm wearing and the fun patterned pouch are from Tulip, a clothing boutique here in Kansas City. (If you're local, be sure to check it out! If not, you can shop online too.) I'm participating in their Tulip Twist, where they give three bloggers an item (or in my case, items!) to style for a fun little contest. The winning blogger gets a gift card to Tulip. I'd love for you to vote for me here starting at 10am central! Thank you so much! 

How do you add personality to your basics?
