Style Statement Tuesday

In case you forgot, I'm using outfits I found on Pinterest as inspiration these next few weeks. Here is this week's inspiration.




I love the classic look of the button up and sweater paired with the trendy mint skinnies. What? I'm drawn to a button up and a sweater? You're shocked, I know.

I tried to break down what I liked best about the Pinterest outfit and bring it into my version in a way that fit my 'Classic Pretty' style statement. Here is my interpretation.


Sweater, Bracelet, & Skinnies: Target; Button-Up & Heels: Old Navy; Necklace: Double Happiness; Watch: Micheal Kors
 I love the mix of neutral with the mint skinnies and blue top. I also love the polka dots in the Pinterest outfit, but I don't have one similar, so I went with a solid oatmeal colored sweater instead. I think the polka dots look better, but I like my version, too.

 

Another thing I like about the Pinterest outfit is the necklace detail. Mine is a different style, but it fits me and what I like to wear.

 

I also chose heels instead of flats because I really need all the help I can get in the height department.

 

Overall I like the look, but I definitely think the Pinterest outfit is more interesting. Mine is a tad blah. However, it was fun looking at what I already had in my closet and trying to make it work.

  8. Very pretty! Maybe next time add a bubble necklace to kind of mimic the polka dot detail on the other sweater? Just a thought!
