Blouse: Forever 21 (old, similar), Skirt: Zara (almost identical! also love this), Heels: ASOS (super affordable option!), Sunglasses: Ray-Ban, Bracelets: BCBG (similar) and Forever 21, Rings and necklace: She's Unique
I stumbled on this pin while browsing Pinterest the other day and knew immediately I had to recreate it with what was already in my closet. I swapped out the silver foil shorts for this skirt I bought at Zara on clearance last year. And while I didn't have a black and white blouse, I knew this blue and white pinstriped button down was hiding in the back of my closet looking for some attention.
As soon as I got home I pulled them both out and it was like sartorial magic! There might have even been rainbows and the sound of angels singing coming from my closet. Or not. But we've all had those moments, right?
The point is, mixing unexpected pieces and giving your old clothes new life just never gets old! It's like buying a brand new outfit only better because you didn't actually spend any money! And for that my wallet is grateful.

These are my absolute favorite moments -- I'll be getting dressed in the morning and feel like I have NOTHING to wear and then randomly later that afternoon will think, oh, *this* and *this* would have been perfect! Love it!

I love this story! I feel the same sometimes, rainbows and angels singing and all! But I do love this look! That skirt is so pretty and I love it with the silver pumps (I need some of those) and the blue and white pinstripes. Looks great!
