Happy Monday everyone! I am doing my very best to combine two challenges for the price of one today! It's like a buy one get one free sale! Today is day one of Megan Mae and Keely's This or That Trends challenge and it's Two Birds Inspiration Monday. And somehow I think I found something that works for both. Or maybe I'm crazy. I probably am.
So first of all, here is our Inspiration Monday model. Kate Bosworth. This is a very fun laid back look, though I'm not too sure about the shoes....
So, first of all, it's a bit too warm for a sweatshirt, though it is cooler today, so I chose a lighter weight top. Second of all, I love her long maxi mint skirt, but I don't have anything like that (wish I did though!). And third of all, for today's This or That, the theme is Solid Brights or Bold Print - so I chose bold print. I also think that my bold print sort of represents her crazy shoes, but that just might be my wacky brain thinking too much!
So, that's my look. And yes, it's a dress as a skirt again and one you've seen quite often here, I love this dress. I have had it for a really long time too, and I'm not giving it up yet! I figured my favorite new Gussy bag here could also serve as a bold print - though I almost went totally nutso and switched to my bright pink bag to cover the "solid brights" portion of the This or That challenge. I think that may have dialed up the crazy a bit too much.
So did you all have good weekends? Ours was good though packed. Saturday we had a graduation open house and ran a bunch of errands. We were able to relax with a movie in the evening. Yesterday we did two morning masses with our music group and it was so warm in the church even with the air on that it ended up taking a lot out of me. We went home and I pretty much did not move from the couch all day long. The Pants Monkey was much more industrious than I was, he brewed a test batch of a new beer. Excited to see how this one comes out. We kept it lazy and had pizza night before it stormed.
It should be a fun week around here, not only is the This or That challenge going on all week, but we're nearing my one year blogging anniversary and I'll be announcing a very exciting first ever giveaway in celebration! You won't want to miss it, so stay tuned!!
