September Pinspired

August 30, 2013 by 2 Comments

I missed last month’s Pinspired and I am excited to jump back in for September! This is a fun challenge with Shay at MixandMatchMama, Sheaffer at Pinterest Told Me To and Mel at The Larson Lingo to recreate a look from Pinterest.

When I was in school, getting my first day of school outfit was very important. It was like a fresh start; what was your style going to be for the year? Now that I’m an adult, every season is like the first day of school. A chance to get in on the popular trends and establish your own unique style.

There are a number of hot trends this fall, but I’m going to focus on bright colored blazers and leather for this edition of Pinspired. Here are a few of my inspiration looks from Pinterest:

The first thing that caught my eye about these looks was the necklace, probably because I’ve had my eye on it for a while. The Tempest Necklace from Stella and Dot ($198) would be perfect with these looks:

I found these fantastic leather and ponte leggings from Not Your Daughter’s Jeans. They have them in regular and plus sizes for $120-130:

I found this Madison Nylon Knit Tank for $19.99 to layer under the blazer:

For the Pièce de résistance, the New Directions Ponte Knit Blazer does the trick for only $40.99 with colors in Radiant Red, Cruising Blue and Black:

I loved the lavender trench coat and found this Ivanka Trump Double Breasted Peplum Trench for $79.99:

I found a few different shoe looks, just because I think you could dress this outfit up or down with various styles. For an everyday look, I got some adorable ankle booties from Payless last year that would work, they still have one pair left on eBay:

I found a similar pair at Nine West for $99:

For a dressier look, I like these Steve Madden Darrt Pumps ($66.96) or these Anne Klein Wrenn metallic cap toe pumps ($62.99):

I am in love with this look! It is so versatile, you can change the shoes and accessories and mix and match blazers for the entire season. The leather leggings are a little out of my comfort zone, but I am excited to try them and see what I can do with the look.

Do you have any other suggestions on what I could add to this look?

July Pinspired

July 1, 2013 by 8 Comments

I had fun putting together last month’s June Pinspired looks with Shay at MixandMatchMama, Sheaffer at Pinterest Told Me To and Mel at The Larson Lingo so I thought I would try my hand at a July Pinspired look. For those of you wondering I am still trying to complete my June look, but can’t find colored pants that look good on me. I have all of the other items, but am still on the hunt for the pants.

I am attending an outdoor wedding at a winery later this month and need to put a look together that is cute but functional. It will most likely be hot and I probably won’t want to wear heels. I really want to try a hi-low dress with wedges and I found a ton of inspiration on Pinterest:

I liked this Suzi Chin dress in Paradise Pink for $81.99 for a number of reasons. I have another Suzi Chin dress and I love the cut of it, I like that this dress has a v-neck instead of a strapless or blousy neckline and I think the waistline will be more flattering on me:

The key to this look will be the accessories, they will really dress it up.

I am going to wear my Vera Wang Lavender Penny Wedges with this since I don’t want to wear heels that will sink into the ground. They are sold out, but you can still find a number of them in the nude color on eBay:

I plan to carry my Patent Leather Coach Ashley Wristlet:

For jewelry, I want a statement necklace, so I decided to go with this Stella & Dot Bloom Necklace ($198) and to accessorize with earrings and a few bracelets that I already have:

I am excited about this outfit, because I already have most of the pieces and it will cost me $279.99 to finish the look (I just need to buy the dress and necklace). I could wear the necklace with a number of other outfits and it would be a good investment.

I think this is the perfect outfit for my upcoming summer wedding. Let me know if you have any other ideas on how I could dress this look up.

UPDATE So we went to the wedding and it was fantastic! I loved seeing my friends get married and it was great to hang with all of my besties at once. Here is a picture of us (isn’t the bride breathtaking?). I loved this look, the dress fit great and I love, love, love the necklace and can’t wait to wear it again.

June Pinspired

May 31, 2013 by 12 Comments

As a new blogger I am excited to link up with my favorite blogs today to share a Pinterest fashion recreation. Thanks to Shay at MixandMatchMama, Sheaffer at Pinterest Told Me To and Mel at The Larson Lingo for including me!

One of the biggest summer trends is bright colored jeans. This is a little outside of my fashion comfort zone, I haven’t purchased colored jeans in years! My goal is to get a pair and create a few fun looks that I can wear throughout the summer.

Here are the Pinterest looks I am going to recreate. These are simple and basic so I know I would actually wear them:

For the first outfit, I am going to purchase the brink pink jeans from Old Navy. At $19, if I decide I can’t pull off the look, I’m not out too much money:

For the white top, I am going to go with the Tipped Poplin Tank in Sea Salt from Old Navy, on sale for $4. You can’t beat that!

For the blazer, I think this would be the perfect time to get Shaeffer’s famous Oatmeal Blazer from Olivia Moon. This is a bit of a splurge for $79, but I can wear it with a lot of other things.

Now for my favorite part, the shoes! My nude pumps have seen better days, so I thought these Michael Antonio Torio Sandals from DSW would be cute and comfortable. At $39.95 they are a steal!

That completes the first outfit. The total is $141.95 which is not bad for a whole outfit, plus shoes! I am actually excited to purchase these items and try this look out. This would be a great date night look and perfect for my upcoming New York trip in July!

For my next look, I am going to go with the same jeans from Old Navy, this time in the Pool Paint color for $29.50. They cost a little more in this shade:

I am going to try the Sheer Henley Tunic from the Gap for the top at $49.95. I already have a white layering tank I can wear underneath it.

For my look, I would like the shoes and the necklace to match if possible. I think that would tie the whole look together.

These Gabriella Rocha Jaegar wedges from DSW are so cute and I have been looking for something in this style. They are on sale for $52.99.

Last but not least, the pink beaded necklace. I opted to go a little more low key with the necklace, so I found this adorable teardrop necklace on Etsy for $15.

I am even more excited about this look! I could wear this on the weekend or even to work on a casual Friday. The entire look is $147.44.

Let me know what you think about my selections and please let me know if you find any of these items for less! I will definitely be rocking these outfits soon!
