happy wednesday, everyone!
today i am collaborating with a few incredible (and very talented!)
bloggers as we style darker tones for fall.
^^^ our inspiration photo via stylelovely –
can i have her top? and shoes? and bag, please?! ^^^
when i first saw this photo, i thought, ‘oh i don’t have a gingham top like that.
and i desperately want distressed black jeans. and maybe
i can buy a new pair of shoes, too?’
but that sort of defeats the entire purpose of this collaboration;
together, we are digging through our closets to find pieces
that resemble this look.
when i took a moment to consider what i have in my
closet, items that are comparable to this photo, i realized i didn’t need to go
shopping at all (darn!!).
blouse: nordstrom, bag: urban outfitters (old), booties: dsw,
bangles: nordstrom rack, jeans: american eagle (exact here)
what stood out to me in the inspiration photo,
was the distressed denim, blouse-like top, sunnies, and black bag.
after a bit of playing around with my blouse,
i am pleased with how similar my photos look – yet they
are still representative of my personal style.
i prefer flats or boots to heels, and i opted for a brighter,
more vibrant lip color.
i had a great time creating this look, so thank you,
brooke for hosting. brooke’s blog, silver lining,
is pretty adorable (as is her daughter), so be sure to check it out!
