Uffda, anyone else suffering from "Monday morning tough to come back to work after a long holiday weekend fatigue?" I don't even have "the blues" so to speak, but it was tough to get up and get going today! The weekend was just so wonderful, but then again, when you have two birthdays to celebrate in addition to Thanksgiving, that is bound to be the case! The most exciting thing about my weekend? I bought an iPhone yesterday. I can't wait until it arrives!
Enough about all that though - it's Inspiration Monday! This week's photo is the lovely Jessica Alba seen below here in a dressy denim looking shirt and dark jeans. I was excited because I pretty much had the pieces necessary to try and "copy" this outfit!
Isn't her daughter adorable too? (If that is her daughter, which I assume it is?) A good friend of mine from college is due at the end of the month with her first girl and I can't wait to shower her with pretty girly things. Anyway, here's my interpretation of the outfit - worn yesterday to decorate my house and go iPhone shopping.
You'll notice my kitty is "photo bombing" a bit. That's little Miss Taylor, she was kind of being my shadow yesterday, which is funny because the Pants Monkey is usually her favorite human in the house.
I've had this shirt a couple of years now actually, and typically wear it to work and dress it up more, so it was fun to try something in a more casual manner with it! I like the look and the scarf helped keep me plenty warm!
Happy Monday and return to the grind!

Sooo cute your cat there, I noticed her even before I read about her! Really cute!
ReplyDeleteYour outfit is really very similar to the one Jessica Alba was wearing! I liked it very much - I love scarves, but it's so warm here... in some weeks (not fast enough!) I'll go back to the UK and will wear scarves again!
Loved your shirt!!!!
