Hello everyone! Did you all have good weekends? As busy as mine was it was actually pretty decent all things considered. I almost feel like Monday is a welcome break though!!
I'm back at Inspiration Monday with two birds this week, though my look is a pretty loose interpretation once again. Here we have Michelle Dockery from Dowton Abbey, a show I have yet to actually watch but do plan to when I finish some of the other series I've been working on like The Sopranos and Veronica Mars. Might go on my watch list for my maternity leave for those rare moments that my child actually sleeps or maybe I'll stream it during late night feedings!
I do adore this simple look, I chose a lighter colored shirt and slightly longer skirt. I did try to tuck it in but it didn't quite look right. At any rate, I adore my mint top! Also, I totally wore this outfit last week - today it's going to be crazy hot again, so this would have been way too warm!
Shirt - Liz Lange, consignment
Skirt - Hang Ten, from friend
Necklace - Stella and Dot
Shoes - Rampage, DSW
So I have to say, even with our busy weekend we were able to be mildly productive. We got some good work done on the baby's room. No, not decorating yet. You may recall that I've said in the past that our second bedroom used to act as a giant walk in closet for yours truly. Our garage sale helped a bit with that, but there was still a lot of other stuff. One thing I really wanted to keep was this hanging rack that I put all my jackets and blazers on. We did some consolidation in our own bedroom and then were able to get that hanging rack into our room. And it isn't even overcrowded or anything! Back in the baby's room we were able to put a bookcase for the baby where the hanging rack once was. So, I feel like we're making progress! Slowly but surely!
Other than that we had a pretty full schedule with our music group, but we did manage a movie night on Saturday evening and a nice lunch out on Sunday in between all of that. So in the end, it wasn't as bad of a weekend as I thought it could have been!

That mint top will be perfect for the fall! I'm trying to consolidate my wardrobe too but it's hard, haha. Glad to hear you had a fun weekend!

ReplyDeleteVery pretty top. I love the color and the dolman type sleeves. Glad to hear your weekend was nice although busy :)
ReplyDeleteGreat interpretation of the inspiration! You look lovely!
ReplyDeleteI think the top looks pretty great untucked! I haven't watched Dowton Abbey either but I've heard so much about it that I really want to!
ReplyDeleteVery cute outfit! That shirt looks great with that skirt!
ReplyDeleteI love this! Very cute look. Oh man, lots of work getting a baby room together. I hope you take pics when you are done!
ReplyDeletei'm glad your weekend was better than expected...that's always nice! i'm so excited to see what you do with the baby's room. (or hear about it if you don't want to share pics!)
ReplyDeleteYa know, I am finally getting excited about wearing Autumn Season clothes, now. With all the rain we had over the weekend and more to come, I can now wear my jackets and mix and match them all to heck!!!! LOL I am glad your weekend was productive yet that you wanted to head back to work. cool.
ReplyDeleteIs it hard giving up your extra closet? I gave up my office for the baby and I was a little grouchy about it at first, but now I would give it up a hundred times over for this kid that I adore so much!
ReplyDeleteThat mint is a good colour on you - but I LOVE the skirt. The length and the draping just seem very "you".
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you had a good weekend. And you'll get the baby room together before he shows, I'm sure! Looking good!
ReplyDeleteLove that mint top on you - the color looks great on you and it's not a color I recall seeing you wear as often!
