Mimic Moment -- Texture Story

Two Birds do an Inspiration Monday meme.
Every Wednesday, they post an inspirational photo and one gets a week to ponder how to interpret the look.
I enjoy it -- it encourages me to shop my closet, to find new combinations that I wouldn't have considered on my own.
I usually test run my ensemble on Sundays, when I shop local at the farmers market.
Mondays, the linkup page goes live.
I think my process of how I start with the look, then make it my own is something fun to share.
the inspiration for monday, february 11: dianna agron
rugged jacket - check
grey A-line sweater dress - smiley tank dress worn backwards and too tight (oh dear)
dark tights - check
moto boots - chunky fornarino boots
the grey dress had to go so wore my velour dress instead - same silhouette
hat needed as well
dress too short, needed a skirt - the SUNO skirt is perfect
and the diamond weave pashmina plays nice with it
yummy textures
my spoils from the farmers and Japanese markets
I was so happy with my mix, I wore the dress, scarf, skirt and tights
to work the next day. Switched out the coat and boots.

Paisley with a Splash of Burgundy

Two Birds do an Inspiration Monday meme.
Every week, they post a photo and you get a week to ponder how to interpret the look.
WooHoo! Paisley! I looooooove paisley!
But guess what? I only have ONE paisley shirt that sort of matches this.
(no way was I leaving the house looking like this!)
And I don't "do" skinny jeans (these are leggings to fake the look)...
And I don't go barefoot in my shoes...
And I can't wear those shoes right now because my feet are a mess [sad face]...

Let's go for more coverage and add a skirt, a scarf, and socks:
I've never used this Juicy Couture scarf, now is the time
hmmmm
wrapping it is kinda cool

actual shopping look: shirt tied at waist, scarf in bag (it was 77!)
shopping bounty: veggies and the tiny butternut squash to roast

Mimic Monday -- Plaid and Floral Get Cozy

Two Birds do an Inspiration Monday meme.
Every week, they post a photo and you get a week to ponder how to interpret the look.

I'm always game for new ways to shop my closet, so...
our muse: Drew
Hmmmm
What have I got that's plaid and goes with a floral?
this would have worked perfectly
but
it involved sewing
good combo for some spring day
not warm enough for today
no, just no
but...
the plush plaid top has potential
this is OK
but again, the maxi skirt needs repairs
YES!
The final look!
Had to forgo the maxi element, kept the plaid/pattern mix.
That was fun!
