It's so three years ago

The inspiration for this outfit comes from an old issue of Lucky Mag; I was searching my blog archives and came across this post where I'd scanned several pages with looks I wanted to recreate. The pink skirt and mint bag are spot on, but I toned it down a great deal with a less busy jacket, simpler shoe and more minimalist jewelry.

  1. I LOVE finding old inspiration and in fact, old issues of Lucky are usually my go-to for that! Unfortunately, I don't love recent issues of Lucky, I feel like there is more editorial and less outfit inspiration, which is fine I guess, but Lucky used to be my favorite fashion mag and now it is not :(

  8. I really like your jacket and shoe choices much more than the lucky get up. It's difficult to translate some of those ensembles occasionally, but I think your take is great. That blazer is awesome. The texture brings a lot to the outfit.

  23. Your inspiration may have been three years old, but this look is very much now as far as I'm concerned. [And since I'm currently watch Veronica Mars, I'm vividly remembering how we all dressed several years ago - it's terrifying.] I would never have thought to pair mint and pink myself but I love the result and as for that striped blazer, well... what doesn't a striped blazer go with?

  24. OK this look is totally classy and feminine and forever stylish so no fret over it being 3 years ago. I adore the circle skirt you made. Your monogram necklace and mint bag are lovely.

    I am so glad that I am seeing so many bloggers today love and wear Hot Pink (me included). I am seriously wearing the Brightest Outfit of my life. No joke!! LOL

  26. The great thing about your style is that it's never too trendy. It's always classic with a teeny bit of whatever is hot now but not enough to make it not look classic!

  28. Great recreation. I love that you can sew and recreate the skirt. The texture of the skirt is perfect subtle pattern mixing.
