Look of the Day: You're so Absurd. I Thought You Heard, If You Don't Know Bird is the Word

My Success with old clothes and the poor weather this week has really inspired me to look into the depths of my closet and today I, once again, pulled out and old piece to make it new again. This Juicy top hasn't seen the light of day since last year, the only other time I considered wearing this top was St. Patrick's day for obvious reason. This morning when I spotted it and the duck print it immediately reminded me of the Miu Miu's Swallow Print pieces from this season, which I adore! It had me thinking about this shirt in a totally fresh way.

Luv To Luv you...
Help I see a Beatle, cool out that's only Ringo
Paired with my go to J Brand Doll jeans.

I mean how cute is this clutch!??


I have REALLY debating these heels, I think they would be so fun to have for years down the road.

This dress is so cool and timeless.

Look of The Day: At the End of the Eve, We Roll Up Our Sleeves

The weather sucks but I have done my fair share of complaining about it. So no more of that, instead I am trying to get creative and use clothes that have been long forgetting, much like the dress I wore this weekend. Today my blazer was my inspiration, it is an old Express one that I never wear, but by rolling the sleeves up it became new again. The tucking in of my button up was an inspiration from Ashley Olsen, I plan on coping her look once I can wear open toe shoes and I need to purchase a watch (these ones featured on TheLook4Less are the ones I am currently debating).
Rolling up my Sleeves.
Rocking an old Express Blazer (Similar here), Nordstrom button up (similar urban one here) and my Ash Olivia fold over boots.
Inspiration, I will be copy cat styling soon.
And a request for my readers! We are booking our Europe trip flights this weekend and are still (last minute) debating routes, and cities and any feedback would be lovely!
We are hitting up Frankfurt and Prague for sure.
Budapest, Vienna, Venice, Munich, Zurich, Milan and possibly Rome are on our maybe list as well.
And the map my Right brained, Type A personality, Scientist husband drew. He even had to pick out what picture of his map I would post! Apparently I did not focus on the right area. LOL
Giants are winning 7-2 right now in the 7th, so my night is good so far. I hope is you too!

Look of The Day: You Can Call me Flower if You Want To

When I first started blogging about my outfits I was a little worried it would make me feel like I would need to shop more, so I wasn't always posting the same clothes. It turns out that the opposite is happening, instead of shopping more I am thoroughly examining what I have in closet and getting deep into clothes that have received little attention from me before.
I had a bridal shower to go to this weekend, and my first thought was that it was the perfect excuse to buy a new a dress. But when I thought about it more I knew I had some dresses in my closet that still have tags on them, like this Elizabeth and James dress that I got on clearance a few years back from ShopBop. It has been sitting in my closet just waiting to be worn, and yesterday I finally busted it out.
I can't believe I never wore this before, I loved it and Casey said I looked like a flower in it.
Our nice weather has gone away.
The bits of red in the dress inspired me to paint my nails red, something I never do, and I loved it!

I hope your weekend was great! Make sure to check out my current giveaway as well =)
