Day 14- Kayla says..

....copycat an outfit!  Really?!  That's pretty much all I do, so ....okay!

Well...I'm a huge J. Crew fan and have been since high school (trust me, even though it doesn't look like it, that was quite a while ago.....)

In fact, when the new catalog from J.Crew comes out and settles in my mailbox, then reaches my hot little hands, well let's just say I can hardly concentrate on anything else.

Needless to say then, my outfit inspiration comes from a recent J.Crew (I'm not that knowledgeable/stalker-ish that I remember whether it was Spring, Summer or early Fall....sorry...((sniff...))

Anyway, here's the inspiration picture:

and here's my take on the whole matter:

So first, I placed the belt on the outside of the cardigan, like the picture above- except I don't have a cute, skinny belt. I need to get one.

Check.

Then I started leaning towards.....

.....the belt being inside the cardigan? 



Cardigan: Old Navy; Top: Old Navy; Skirt: Goodwill
Necklace: Maurices; Shoes: Target



So I'm really not sure how I would like to wear this ensemble.  All I know is that I do like this look and will be sporting it again!

P.S. I just snagged this skirt at Goodwill for $2.99! 

Mix dressy with casual- Day 8

Have I ever mentioned that I'm not a dressy kinda girl and that I usually wear very basic and simple clothes?

Right.  This challenge just goes to prove that fact.

This challenge also taught me that even when I should be dressy, I usually go casual and a that I really own nothing dressy.

Nothing.

So I did the best I could and put a nice skirt together with my chambray top.

Also it has been one of "those days" where everything and nothing goes right, not even my pictures.

So....I thought a headless picture was better than nothing.

After all, it's about the outfits and not my face, right?

Again, I did the best I could.
P.S. Recognize my re-mix skirt?

Day three- Pattern mixing

To be honest with you I wasn't so sure about this challenge.  I'm always the girl who is matchy-matchy, so mixing patterns sounded dangerous.  But I chose to accept this challenge (because it is the point to get me out of my comfort zone...AGAIN) and I perused my closet anyway.  I found the floral skirt first (I don't only wear skirts, I promise!) first.  Next came the cardigan.  But I didn't want to wear the polka dot cardigan all by it's lonesome, so I found an orange/white stripe tank to layer with it!  Over all I have three prints working and I think I may have found a new favorite outfit! 



Cardigan: Old Navy, Tank: Maurices, Skirt: Target from 5 years ago, Shoes: Payless Shoes



Yay for pattern mixing!  I think I've found a new hobby!
