These are Sage's bracelets, which she wears mixed together. She has a black bangle, yellow beads and gold spikes alongside her polka-dot manicure. Not only does Sage wear multiple bracelets, but she's got on multiple necklaces, as well. Here she showcases pearls, her favorite gold-lion necklace, which resembles a Versace theme, and a bedazzled cross. These leggings are ripped up and have a grunge-punk-rock feel to them; here Sage wears them with classic black Keds. Sage picked up this tote bag at a music festival in Greece three years ago. Let's take a look at some items inside it: This mask allows for an easy costume change before hitting the stage. Sage also keeps water, makeup and Aqua Net in her tote bag to remain flaw-free at all times."I am from the same town as Ween and the Berenstain Bears: Pennsylvania," Sage says. "Denver is the wild West, so anything goes here."
Style analysis: Sage blends all of of her style icons into one to form her own look. The patterned dress is something that Kelly Bundy would wear, while the black leather jacket, distressed leggings, and Keds are all very rock n' roll. The gold lion necklace adds '90s hip-hop flair to the ensemble and is reminiscent of the glory days of Versace, when Gianni Versace still designed for the haus, in the early '90s. The pearls and cross are very theatrical like her grandmother's costume jewelry.
Always have your own voice in the fashion world, Denver.
