Pics of me trying to figure out separates using my Pinterest inspiration and Midwest flare.
Droppin’ Shoppin’
About a month ago my KISA and I went on a strict budget to save money for this wedding we seem to think we want to have next year. Part of that was cutting down on my shopping. Ok, basically completely. Thankfully I’ve been too busy for it to really set in. 
In preparation for my life coming to an end I decided to do a few things to ease the pain:
- I unsubscribed from all clothing email listings. Sounds harsh, but I really like a good deal, especially when it’s something really cute. And 20% off.
- I searched my more popular clothing pieces on Pinterest and organized all my Pinterest boards into categories for outfits.
- I matched up outfits based on my Pinterest inspiration and took pictures of each outfit with accessories. This makes my morning a breeze so that I can now scroll through my pictures.
With all this inspiration I shouldn’t have a desire to shop again. So, things should be ok. Right?
Casual Monday
Today I was beyond exhausted from the last couple of weeks and decided to keep things casual.
Shirt: J. Crew Factory (this season); Jeans: Gap; Shoes: Converse
Statement Necklace
I seem to be losing my inspiration lately since I’ve been on the road and haven’t found new Pinterest outfits. But, this is one of the outfits I threw together last week.
Necklace: Urban Peach Boutique (this season); Shirt: J. Crew Factory (this season); Belt: H&M (this season); Jeans: Mango; Shoes: Lands End Canvas
Maine Wedding
So, life has been a little more chaotic than usual, but don’t worry: I’m BACK!
Last Saturday (as in the 3rd of August) we trekked up to Boothbay Harbor, ME for my KISA’s friend’s wedding. It was a pretty fun shindig, but the night went by way too fast.
I want to take a moment to point out the difference in our packing styles. For instance, this is how my KISA packs:
One bag for four days. And, a duffle bag at that. This is how I pack:
A carry-on roller suitcase, plus a backpack crammed full. I think he could teach me a few lessons on effective packing. Although, I will say that I had to pack running gear, complete with the water bottles. I’m sure I could have fit everything into a duffle if I didn’t need that stuff.
Dress: J. Crew Factory; Necklace: Banana Republic Factory; Shoes: Target
My Moto Friend
I have a wedding this weekend in Maine. My friend Sarah has a Sunday evening wedding in Brooklyn. (Yeah, who does that? People that want to inconvenience others, that’s who.) So, we decided that it was necessary to meet up last night to get manicures. Oh, and to catch up on things before she leaves for the entire month of August to the East Coast.
Last night she wore an ADORABLE outfit that I decided I had to mimic (with her permission, of course, plus royalties). And, since I like to do things right away when they’re on my mind, I wore this outfit today.
Jacket: Target; Shirt: J. Crew Factory (this season); Belt: J. Crew Factory (this season); Jeans: Levi’s; Shoes: Lands End Canvas
Less Literal Interpretations
I really liked this outfit and started setting it up for today. I picked out my turquoise and orange plaid shirt before realizing I’d only worn it once with my neon peach chinos. I decided to make a less literal interpretation of the outfit. But, it still works.
Sweater: Gap (this season); Top: J. Crew Factory (this season); Pants: Gap (this season); Shoes: Converse (this season)
More Neutrals
I’m not sure what my obsession is with neutrals, but they’re taking over my closet! It’s funny because I used to note that I had only one black shirt and really nothing for other neutrals. I guess now I’ve more than made up for that.
Here’s the inspiration for my outfit today:
Jacket: Express; Tank: Banana Republic; Necklace: Forever21; Belt: H&M (this season); Jeans: Levi’s (this season); Shoes: Zara (this season)
Fuchsia Belt
I liked the pop of color in this outfit with the belt and wanted to emulate it.
Jacket: Lands End Canvas; Top: Zara; Belt: H&M (this season); Pants: Gap; Shoes: Lands End Canvas
The Postal Service Show
As I mentioned in one of my last postings, on Saturday night my KISA and I went to see The Postal Service at The Greek. Thankfully he told me that it was outside so that I could be prepared and dress accordingly. This was my attire.
Scarf: American Apparel (this season); Coat: Charlotte Russe; Sweater: J. Crew Factory; Belt: H&M (this season); Purse: Cole Haan; Jeans: Mango; Shoes: Converse (this season)
Stripes, Mint, and Chambray
Hey! Last week I only went into the office on Mon, Tues, and Thurs. Here’s my inspiration and outfit from Thursday!
Shirt: J. Crew Factory; Sweater: Gap; Jeans: Gap; Shoes: Lands End Canvas
