Inspired not Pinspired

Like the rest of the computer savvy world today, I too tend to spend a whole lot of time reflecting on the beautiful images on Pinterest.  Whomever thought of that idea is genius, and between that and Flipboard on my iPad I am never short of things to see.  Add those to my lengthy list of must read blogs and you get a clear picture of how I spend my leisure hours.

This week for copycat, inspiration came from a blog.

Julia from Gal Meets Glam

Gal Meets Glam is a fantastic blog and little Julia up there has style for miles.   She is gorgeous and the photography on the site is really just beautiful.  I am sorry that the link doesn't take you to the photo post directly, but I'm sure you will have no end of fun scrolling through her archives looking for it!  She is on Pinterest, Twitter, Facebook,  Instagram etc. but I found this photo through her blog directly and fell instantly in love with the look.  

Of course, to make the look my own I felt the need to tweak things a bit.  The inspiration photo shows a shirt loose but I tucked my shirt in and added a belt to draw up the coral color from my skirt.  Julie had on some chunky wedges, but I added fancier shoes because, well hell, I will make any excuse to wear these.  In the inspiration photo Julie is wearing a loose chambray shirt which I switched to a denim jacket because I need more structure and less length for it to be flattering. I also threw on a necklace to bling up my more casual shirt.  

All in all, I am VERY pleased with this look and I can't wait for the time when I can wear it for real!  Of course, since I jinxed myself about the weather, the cold has arrived in AZ so I will possibly have to wait until spring for this one.

XO,

Alyssa
