Inspired By: Could I Have That

Obviously not an exact replica but when I put this outfit on, I knew it was inspired by this picture I had recently pinned! 

Inspiration: Could I Have That
Denim shirt, statement necklace, dark denim, tan heels.

Totally forgot to take my phone out of my pocket haha

Shoedazzle wedges (only $14.38 now!!)

Stripes and White

I love pairing black and white with brown so re-making this outfit was a no brainer! The weather was actually perfect for it yesterday. Such a gorgeous day. For this outfit, I had a lot of similar items so I chose my straw fedora, striped top, white shorts, skinny brown belt (although I do have a thicker one), sunglasses and brown sandals. I really loved this outfit!

 My dog, Forrest, was too busy playing to be in the pictures above but I still snapped a couple with him. :)

I think all sunglasses look stupid on me! It's annoying.  But yeah, I'm wearing NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in "Addis Abbaba" on my lips.  Oh and the gorgeous necklace?  I actually won it in an Instagram giveaway from Shop Katwalk!

Please excuse the wrinkly shirt! This skirt used to be a dress but I decided it'd get more wear as a skirt so I simply cut off the top and added an elastic waist band.  I plan on making some lighter Spring appropriate maxi skirts soon!

Lime green eyeshadow! Not as crazy as it sounds. haha

And because I really don't take myself all that seriously...

New Camera

I got my new camera today! Oh my gosh, you guys, what a difference. haha And this is not a fancy camera! It's the Canon Powershot A1300 which doesn't have the best reviews in its price range but I got it for only $60 at Target during Black Friday week. I think it would have a higher rating if the price was only $60, you know?  My previous camera was just old and had been dropped way too many times, so the picture quality was a reflection of that. I couldn't use it indoors at all, really.  So yay for better pictures on the blog!!

Also, I'm starting a new blog feature called "Inspired By" where I will recreate an outfit I love. The idea isn't to copy it exactly, just the overall look. I think it's a great way to find new ways to wear items you already own! The blog J's Every Day Fashion does this on a regular basis. I actually discovered that blog after I had this idea but obviously I'm aware that it's not a unique idea haha For sure check out her blog though; it's awesome.

I created a new Pinterest board to collect some pictures for these posts. You can check that out here. I only post pictures where I already own items in the picture that are similar. The idea isn't to go out and buy a bunch of new things in order to create the look. :P

Inspiration: My Blomquist

Black skater skirt + black loafers + red plaid shirt.

note to self: keep your eyes open properly

Target skirt 

I'm also trying out a new way of showing you wear the items are from. I like the simplicity of including in the photo but I'm also adding links below for items you can still purchase.

Here's a comparison shot. I took these photos one after another. No editing.

The "new" one is SO much more vibrant! And true to colour. More on this mani on Sunday.
