Imitation = flattery

I can't take credit for my outfit today.  I saw a similar styled look on Kelley from Threads N Buttons earlier this week and decided, I think I will try that on Friday.  That is one of the things I love about blogging and the blogging community - getting inspiration from so many of you!


Super happy it's Friday.  We had a really fun date night last night, we aren't going so far as to totally give up weekend date nights, but we've decided weeknight date nights are fun every now and then too!

Button shirt - Banana Republic, thrifted
Sweater - H&M, thrifted
Jeans - Old Navy
Necklace - S&D
Shoes - Steve Madden, thrifted 


Any fun weekend plans for any of you?  Tomorrow my mom is coming over and we're doing the annual spring closet dump.  I'm so thankful she helps me with this - I'd be lost on my own!  I'll be making piles for my upcoming garage sale and for a clothing swap I'll be participating in - both events are in May, but I get the feeling they'll be here before I know it.  And speaking of my mom, it's her birthday on Sunday, so we'll be going out to celebrate!  So, it should be a fairly decent weekend!  I hope you all have a wonderful weekend as well!

    Love that second photo! So pretty with the morning sunlight! yeah! Happy Friday! And, good luck cleaning out that closet - that needs to happen at my house, too. I am at the point that I can't move the hangers to put things in anymore. :( Good thing we have a swap coming up! Also, thanks for your kind words re: the job. Part of me is relieved and part of me is a bit let down and sad. Good thing it's Friday and I have a weekend of fun ahead of me. :) xo

    The colors are so soft and springy. I really like this look, especially for a Friday at the office.

    We plan on doing some yard work and enjoying the sunshine. Oh and cleaning out my van. It looks like a garbage dump in there, ha ha!

    Enjoy your weekend and Happy Birthday to your mom! Heather

    The polka dot top is really cute and the cardi looks cozy! I need to clean out my closet badly but I just keep avoiding it. Happy Friday!

    Oh Bethie, there is something about wide leg pants and clogs that just steal my heart. I need some new clogs. That is a great idea. Have a great weekend and tell your Mom 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY' from a fellow blogger more in her generation, that loves to hang out in YOUR generation. My Mom used to always say, 'once you are over 30 it doesn't matter the age of your friends'. Cool!!!

    Hi Bethie. Sorry I have been MIA. I like your bell bottoms too, paired with the neutral pieces. Nice Long Necklace.

    P.S. Stay tuned later today for another Purple Look.

    You look so cool and chic in this outfit. :) Very 70s in the best way.
    Sound like a fun weekend. I too have a date planned with my closet. We'll see if I actually get around to it. :)

    Agree - the second photo is very cute! I am coveting your clogs, this is a great look. Will you post results (piles of clothes!) on the blog? Sounds fun. I am still a bit sick, but looking forward to a haircut on Saturday...
