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?
