If you’re like me, you’re probably thinking “No way.”  There was a point in my youth where I could have definitely rocked the rugged bad girl look.  Two children and many years later.. not so much. I still have a few memories from my youth.  My studded leather bracelets sit in my jewelry box next to the more practical gold link bracelet my husband gave me on our anniversary.  The  leather boots with four inch heels have long been replaced with more sensible flats and shoes made for someone with foot problems.  I no longer apply my makeup with such a heavy hand and I tend to use neutrals more often than not.
Can You Rock The Rugged Bad Girl Look
When I got an email about the rugged bad girl look from mark beauty, my first thought was that this was not a style I could pull off and I was right. At 46, denim cut offs and biker boots just doesn’t fit my style. Â That left me a little bit sad for a moment until I decided that, even at 46, I could enjoy a few of these pieces with my style today.
Pieces to create the look above from mark beauty are:
- All-American style tank
- Rock the boot
- Make it a double belt
- Go with it bag
- Keep me dangling earrings
I received the Go with it bag from mark beauty. Â The bag is a rich brown with gold metal studs as accents. It’s a mid size convertible messenger bag that is trendy while still providing enough room to hold everything a busy woman needs to keep with her. Â There are three interior compartments and the entire bag zips shut for safety and security of your belongings. The dimensions are 12 1/4″ W x 12″ H x 2 1/2″ D and it has a 25″ adjustable strap for comfort.

So, maybe I can’t rock the rugged bad girl look any longer and that’s OK. Â Every time I use this handbag, it will make me feel like I can.

It’s all in the attitude 🙂
You are just naturally good at it, I swear. i think you can pull off any look you want
You just totally made my day 🙂
You totally sell the look! I want that shirt. my address for shipping is…lol
Thanks so much 🙂
I really like the shoes you paired with this outfit, they add a touch of country rugged, which makes the look less harsh (or bad girl, if you will); however, it’s still very rock and roll meets country.
I’m sorry, BUT I THINK YOU CAN ROCK IT and you look pretty fabulous doing it in your own way too! Enjoyed this!
I can do rugged, yes, but not bad girl 🙂
Love it! I could totally do this look. I love that bag and boots and bracelet! I have a few outfits they would all fit with perfectly.Â
Okay, I want those boots (I know for a fact you don’t have the room in your closet) and the purse. Â Just leave theme outside the door. Â I am coming right over. Â Nice post.Â
I love that outfit. The boots are awesome.
great look and im loving that bag!Â
