Get Pin-Spired #2

Welcome to the 2nd Pin-Spired Link Up! The 1st of each month!

If you are new here, the idea of the link up is to use Pinterest to inspire your outfits.
(Hence the name Pin-Spired)
See if you can re-create them.
Take pics of your outfit.
Every 1st of the month, we will have a linky party for you to link up your outfits from the past month.

Last month's link up was SO much fun. 

You guys had some CUTE outfits! In fact, I pinned a few of them!

I have been looking forward to today's link up all month! 

My goal is to do one Pin-Spired outfit a week as a way to stay out of my wardrobe rut that I sometimes get in! My overall goal is to shop my closet more, but this month, I did buy a couple new things, but they were on sale :)

 

Outfit #1 "The Bumble Bee"

Dress: Old Navy // Cardigan: Target // Leggings: Kohls // Boots: DBM Shoes // Belt & Bracelet: Old Navy

In December, my awesome Aunt Patty (Hi Aunt Patty!!!) gave me this striped dress (and bracelet) because  the dress didn't fit her right, so she gave it to me! Score! I have been seeing mustard & black outfits ALL over Pinterest, and as soon as I saw the one on the left, I knew I could recreate it! 

I tried brown boots at first, but liked my black boots with it better. 

Yes, I felt like a bumble bee at first, but I totally liked this outfit!

Outfit #2 "Purple Power"

Dress: Forever 21 (circa 2011) //Leggings: Kohls // Heels: Target // Bracelet: NY & Co

2 weeks ago, when Kevin and I went to go see Wicked in San Francisco, I had NO idea what I was going to wear. Kate was in my room when I was looking through my closet & she wanted me to wear this purple dress I had in my closet (purple is her favorite color). I wasn't quite sure what to wear with it since it was sleeveless, not to mention it is February and my legs are pasty white. And, the dress is a kinda short on me (I am 5'9, so LOTS of things are short on me) What to do, what to do.....

I went on Pinterest & searched purple dress and BAM! This pic came up. Purple dress, black tights & black heels. I had it all. I would have never thought to wear black tights with it, but I LOVED this outfit. And, I loved Wicked. Favorite Musical. LOVE.

Outfit #3: Chambray Shirt (again) with my Chinese Cheetah Ebay Scarf.

Chambray Shirt: Old Navy // Black Skinnies: Target // Brown Boots: Target// Scarf: Ebay // Bracelet: H&M

I mean, seriously. Are you sick of seeing me wearing my jean shirt, black skinnies & brown boots? But, this time, this time I went WAAAAAY out of my comfort zone. I bought a freaking cheetah scarf. Let me give you a little background. For our last Pinspired Link up, so many of you had animal print scarves, ballet flats, etc. You all looked so cute. I didn't own any animal print. Didn't think I could "pull it off" I had been looking for an animal print scarf for the past month, but couldn't find anything I liked. One day, I decided to look on Ebay. Lo and behold, there was the perfect scarf (the one I am wearing). The listing said $4.95 Buy it Now with Free Shipping. Ummm....a super cute scarf for less than $5 shipped? SOLD. So I bought it. Then, it said it was being shipped from China. HOW IN THE WORLD is this scarf only $4.95 AND being shipped from China FOR FREE? I totally thought I was getting scammed.
But, wouldn't you know....my scarf showed up 2 weeks later. I LOVE IT.
How it was so cheap, I will never know. But, this I do know: I love my Chinese Cheetah Scarf. RAWR.
I wore it to school last week and 2 of my students told me I was looking SO stylish. They are 13, they know what's up. Ha.

Outfit #4 : Rocking the Red Pants. 

Red Pants: Local Store // Black Shirt: Ann Taylor Loft // Heels : Payless Shoes // Necklace : Nordstrom

After the last Pin-Spired, I knew I just HAD to be brave & get a pair of red pants because SO many of you linked up outfits with red pants. And you guys ROCKED them. I was Pin-spired. I even had a dream about red pants. Yes, I am weird. A few weekends ago I was out doing errands and I stopped in at store in our town to make a return. Lo and behold, they were having a 40% off sale on all their colored denim. There was ONE pair of red jeans left and what do you know....they were MY size. I was still a little nervous about RED pants, but after texting with Sheaffer & Shay, they convinced me. That's what friends are for, right? Since the pants were 40% off, they were only $20. And, my return that I was making was $25 so they basically paid me to get the red pants. How do you like THAT justification? Thankyouverymuch.

 I have pinned tons of red pant outfits, but wanted to be tame the first time I wore them (which was to a memorial service) I wore a black shirt and on the photo I pinned, the girl is standing in this outfit next to an aqua dress. I really liked the contrast of the aqua next to the red/black, so I wore my aqua necklace for a fun pop of color with this outfit. I will 100% be wearing this outfit again.
LOVE MY RED PANTS!

There you have it, my 4 Pin-Spired outfits! 

My favorite was my red pants. Can't WAIT to wear them again.
LOVE. LOVE. LOVE.
