Happy Monday everyone! Did it feel like the weekend flew by to anyone else? Seriously, it just went by too fast for my liking. Not a lot of down time either, but I wouldn't say it was a bad weekend. More on that in a moment, first up, we have Jessica Alba here for Inspiration Monday.
I was actually borderline on participating this week, then at the last minute pulled together an outfit I kind of like. I don't have any light colored blazers yet, but I thought this denim one might work decently with my cream blouse.
Blazer - American Eagle, thrifted
Blouse - Decree, JCPenney
Pants - Star City, Herbergers
Necklace - S&D
Shoes - Mossimo, thrifted
Back to the weekend - it was full of errand running, catching up with family and celebrating my mom's birthday. I also did the closet purge - I now have five bags to add to my garage sale (sorry no pictures Secret Squirrel, got way too caught up in rearranging). I also kind of did the transition to spring/summer items in my closet and packed away a ton of heavier winter clothing. Because even though it is still not terribly spring like here in MN, I'm an optimist.
I even managed to grab one more item off my wish list when shopping for a last minute gift for my mom - found the black striped skirt I've been coveting! It was very inexpensive so I was excited about that. I hope it's warm enough to style it very soon!
That is pretty much the news from here! For more Inspiration Monday looks, visit two birds over here.
The denim blazer totally works with the inspiration photo. I have to agree, the weekend went by way too fast! Can't wait to see your new skirt :) Heather

I LOVE that blouse. It looks so soft and romantic. I'm sorry about the impending snow. I'll admit I've been sunning as much as I can. I'm so happy for the heat.
ReplyDeletei like your more dressed up version of a jean jacket. and yay for you for that great closet purge!
ReplyDeleteIt was warm enough today in Ohio to show ankles...woohoo! :) Really liking the layered look you've got going on here. And I think I'm due for another closet purge too!
