Inspiration Monday on a Tuesday

So, this is my look for Two Birds' Inspiration Monday:

Yes, I know it's Tuesday, but a girl does what she can.  I also had to do what I could with this inspiration photo because, as it turns out, I had basically none of the necessary pieces!

Here is the inspiration photo for my look:

It's Olivia Palermo.  As I've mentioned before, I'm not sure what she's famous for, but she seems stylish and has nice, shiny hair, so that's something.  I also really like her outfit.  Unfortunately, I had nothing in my closet that even remotely resembles what Ms. Palermo is wearing.

See?  Not even close.  But, I tried.  Instead of a tweedy, pink topper, I wore tweedy green (thrifted).  And instead of fun, colorful heels, I wore fun, colorful flats (Coconuts).  And my jeans (Old Navy) are only slightly distressed as opposed to full-on I Don't Give A F*ck distressed.  But, I think we can all agree that I nailed the white shirt.  Yay, me!

Happy Tuesday, All!

Thighs? What Thighs?

My thighs don't share my love for printed pants.  They like to plan their rebellion quietly, hidden behind quiet skirts and dark jeans.  They do not want anyone to pay any undue attention to them and question what, exactly, they plan to do with all that dynamite.

So, these jeans? 

With their white background and wild and crazy print?  No, my thighs are not a fan.  But, then I came up with the idea to pair the jeans with my neon shoes:

And, wouldn't you know it, no one even noticed my thighs at all.  I received several comments about the shoes, but not a single person asked why my thighs were stockpiling blasting caps.

Happy Friday, All!

True Blue

No, not the Madonna song*, the pants:

I have been looking for some summery skinnies as most of my skinnies are dark colors and/or corduroy.  I have a coral pair but wanted a pair in the blue/green family.  Unfortunately, all I could find were pastel colors.  I say unfortunately because my thighs hate pastel skinnies, and, to be honest, I don’t love them all that much either.  Happily, I was able to find these lovely true blue skinnies at JC Penney the other day:

And the color is perfect.  It’s summery without being pastel.  It pairs well with my favorite neutral, gray.  And it looks great with neon:

*Okay, fine, the Madonna song too:

Happy Wednesday, All!
