Pinned It and Did It Thursday

A few weeks ago I did a post about Pinterest and how it inspired me to create an outfit. I'm doing another Pinterest inspired outfit today but I also was inspired for the pieces to come together while on Instagram last week. I saw a picture of my IG friend @rayannlacasse who also has a blog Four Season Fabulous and coincidentally, is from my area as well!

I love the look of leopard and sparkle and a bright color! I love leopard especially with red or orange. I think the look can be both classic and fun! I was inspired by the colors in this pin below from :


I decided to copy my friend and pair a leopard cardigan from Target with a dress from Old Navy that I originally wore last summer (come to think of it, it was September on my birthday.) Anyways, living in Michigan and in the snow, you have to be able to "winterize" your clothing so that you can wear it more than in the summer. I'm also throwing an Old Navy chambray shirt underneath for another layer and more warmth since it is so cold today! I'm wearing my gold bow belt from Target and my beautiful necklace from Very Jane. For even more warmth, I am wearing my trusty old boots from DSW today! Also making an appearance is this beautiful cognac bag from Target. 

Here's some pictures of today's outfit:





Yes! I am high-giving myself on how easy this was! 


Here's a picture of how I wore this last year when it was warmer:



I love all of the inspiration that I am receiving from both Pinterest and Instagram! I am also linking up with my friend Heather over at Style Journey for her Pinned it and Did It weekly blog. Hope you check out both of these ladies' blogs for even more inspiration! 

Happy Friday Eve!

      Thanks, Sharon! It's usually only a couple of times a week for a couple of minutes so it's okay! It is way too cold though!

    So much awesomeness. Found you via Instagram and am addicted. I've always been a bit shy in the clothing department because of my size. I'm just so inspired by how you put such amazing outfits together. Right now I have your site open side by side with Lands End and Old Navy...trying to put together some cute "curvygirlontherun" looks for an upcoming conference! Thanks for this fabulous blog!!

Sunday Style: Green

Image
Green is my favorite color. I think it brings out the color in my eyes and it looks great with my skin tone.There's lots of sayings with green in them too. Give the green light. Green thumb. Going green. (Make no mistake- I didn't say Go Green- that's for all you Spartan fans out there). Green around the gills. Green with envy- well, don't be green with envy but I am sitting here in sunny Florida enjoying the warm weather and time with family and friends... This green dress has been hanging in my closet for a while but this was the first time that I got it out. I scored it on a major sale but just haven't had a chance to wear it. I always say why wait for a special occasion?  What I love most about this dress is the neckline. I tell you all the time that it's hard for me to wear a straight skirt or dress and this is no exception. I like the look of it but I do think I'll spend a few more dollars and have it tailored a little more. I paired nude pumps...

Sunday Style: JJ’s House

Image
It’s been said in various ways that clothes don’t make the person, the person makes the clothes. I believe this to be exceptionally true in this beautiful dress that I am wearing in today’s post! This dress literally made me wish that I was heading out to the opera or a benefit dinner. I love that I get to wear and model a lot of clothes and some just feel more special than others. This dress was custom made for me so I got all the feels while I was zipping it up and looking in the mirror. It fits like a glove and I could not be more in love with it!  Let’s talk about  JJ’s House  for a minute. They have all sorts of dresses for special occasions, including bridal wear! I picked out a dress and did my measurements and sent them in with my order. They even called me once to make sure that my measurements were correct so they made sure to make the dress correctly!  This  dress  has gorgeous nude tulle with a black lace overlay. I literally felt like a princes...
