All Knotted Up

Knotting a button down shirt is my new favorite thing. In fact, I wore this outfit before I even saw the inspiration picture for Two Birds' Inspiration Monday. What could be better than a knotted shirt, a flowy skirt and some sandals?

Outfit:

Blouse: Old Navy

Cami and Skirt: H&M

Sandals: Payless

Necklace: Gift

Here's the inspiration picture of the lovely Eva Mendes. 

Have you ever knotted your shirt? Is it a little too 90s for you?

Maxi Monday

Every week one of my favorite blogs, Two Birds, does an Inspiration Monday link-up. I have discovered lots of other blogs through the link up. I also just love seeing how Megan and Nora, the two sisters that run Two Birds, create outfits inspired by a celebrity photo. I haven't participated in a really long time because I always forget about it until I am already dressed and at work Monday morning. When they posted this awesome picture of Michelle Trachtenberg, aka Harriet the Spy, in a maxi dress and denim jacket I just HAD to participate.

I brought my striped maxi dress and denim jacket with me to upstate New York this weekend, but didn't find the opportunity to wear them. I think it all worked out for the best because I found an awesome maxi dress on clearance at Target over the weekend. So this morning I got up early so I could take pictures and edit them before leaving for work.

This is the perfect outfit for that Monday where you really don't want to go to work and can't believe the weekend is over already. Is anyone else having one of those days?

Monochrome

Happy Presidents day readers! I love three day weekends. I decided to participate in two birds' Inspiration Monday this week. Here is the inspiration photo:

I really liked the monochromatic blue look SJP is rocking, so I decided to recreate it with a blue dress and blue cardigan.

In looking back at my outfit posts over the past week or so, I realize I've been wearing a lot of blue lately. I think part of the reason for that is that some of the newer pieces in my wardrobe are blue, and when I get something new I wear it a lot. 

Outfit:

Dress: Marshall's or TJMaxx?

Cardigan: Old Navy

Bag: Jason Wu for Target

Tights: Target

Belt: H&M

Shoes: DSW

Bracelet: Thrifted

I'm off to meet my sweetie for lunch and a walk in the Boston Common. What are you doing with your three day weekend?
