Here is my take on it...Admittedly, this is not really even close to the inspiration pic. I used the Pinterest inspiration picture as just that, inspiration.
By the way, I took these pictures inside because it was rainy and freezing outside. I took them after work, hence the wrinkles. I also took them with my iphone, hence the quality. What can I say? It was a rough day.
In the Pinterest pic, I see mixed prints, chambray, bold sunnies, and a big(ish) bag. My outfit has all those things, just not in the same way. To be honest, I like my version better. It better fits my style and the climate. I mean if it's cold enough to wear a blazer and a scarf, then it's too cold for bare legs. Am I right?
In hindsight, I should have chosen a different top with the skirt. I think the chambray being tucked in the skirt made me look shapeless. I also think the pockets on the shirt with scarf make me look very full on top and not in a good way. Next week I vow to wear something other than chambray. I think I may be obsessed with a shirt that is not as flattering in real life as is it in my head.
Anyway, I hope you guys link up and share your Style Statement outfits! Happy Tuesday!
I love the plaid on plaid! That is a great skirt for fall/winter! So sorry for your rough day! I am having one today too :( Hope it gets better!

Thanks, I really love the skirt. I'm looking forward to pairing it with other tops.
DeleteI really like how you explain what you took away from the picture. It shows that you don't have to be literal in an outfit to get a similar look with what you have.
ReplyDeleteThanks! One thing I hate is feeling like I have to buy something new all the time. I think by taking concepts from out fits you love, you can use what you have to make it work!
