Style Statement Tuesday

This week's Pinterest outfit inspiration...


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!

  2. I 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.

    1. Thanks! 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!
