The internet is a place of many wonderful things, and I could sit all day enjoying and admiring (or worse, wistfully viewing, making personal comparisons with) other people's blogs and pinning new inspirations - and sometimes in all of that I forget to do. So my challenge to myself, to stimulate creativity and pleasure and to live in the now, rather than in the "I'll pin that idea to do someday," is to post once per week an inspiration that I've made, cooked, worn.
For my first installment, I wore an outfit inspired by this one from Kendi Everyday that I pinned ages ago. It's such a simple, classic outfit and so easy to put together that I don't know why I didn't follow through on this one until now. I felt stylish and super comfortable all day and was quite pleased that the weather cooperated (67 degrees!) for showing a little ankle...

ReplyDeleteYour post immediately inspired me to compare the photos in a "spot the difference" ala Highlights magazine way. Overall, it's a pretty good match, though you are clearly missing a handbag :)
ReplyDeleteThat's a great idea! I have the same pinning and not doing problem... Whoops! Love your take on this outfit. The shoes are especially beautiful!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! I've been trying to only pin things I will really try out. I like the idea of posting weekly on it!
ReplyDeleteLoooove this! You look fantastic!
ReplyDeleteLove the pin to present idea, and very cute outfit! FYI Loft is having 50% off sale right now.. I don't think I can resist!
ReplyDeleteHi there! I absolutely have been feeling this same exact way and you have articulated it so well. It's so easy to get sucked into the virtual world and forget to actual "do" and "be!" It's something I've really been focusing on lately too.
ReplyDeleteI love your outfit and you pulled it off perfectly! Love the new look of the blog too.
