Copy Cat

I'm not even going to pretend I came up with this outfit on my own. When I steal someone's style, I'm pretty forthcoming about it. And this, my friends, was straight-up stolen, head-to-ankle, from Pink Peonies (see her look here). 

The sad part is, I sat on this one for more than a year. The only changes I made were swapping out the gold glitter flats for my cheetah-print flats and my bag and sunglasses are brown. Thanks for the inspiration Rach! It was a good one.

Inspired By...

I was inspired when watching Glee this week when I saw Rachel Barry wearing a bright purple blouse with a polka-dotted skirt that appeared to be green. I had the pieces to replicate it, but I felt it needed more, so I added this Akira faux-leather vest, mostly for warmth. And since I couldn't get a glimpse at her shoes I was left to decide that on my own, so I went for my oxblood boots. It's a prefect example of an outfit that doesn't necessarily match, but still works.
