Inspiration Monday–Black and Blue
15 Oct
Dress – BCBG Outlet | Blazer – The Limited | Necklace – The Limited | Tights – Banana Republic | Booties – Liz Claiborne via DSW
Another Inspiration Monday is here and another week of me wishing I could dress exactly like the inspiration photo.
Of course, who doesn’t want to dress like one of the Middleton sisters?
I don’t have a moto jacket yet. So I went with a blazer. I don’t have a colorful sheath dress so I went with my blue dress that has a slightly fuller skirt. And since the high today is only in the mid-50s I put on tights with my booties.
But I think Pippa’s look is beautiful and classic with a bit of an edge to it with the leather and the booties and the bit of animal print in her clutch. I will be saving this inspiration photo for sure.
Would you wear Pippa’s outfit? How would you interpret it?

For those of you looking for casual outfit inspiration, this one’s for you! 
Nothing is classier to me than tweed and a pencil skirt.
A reader recently contacted me and asked for help with a pair of ankle boots she just bought.
Right now I’m pretty happy with my closet. But even so there are days when I stand there and stare at all the hangers and think, “I wish I had….”
I’ve had all of these clothing pieces in my closet for a long time. I keep wavering on whether or not to keep the cardigan and then it keeps staying. 
I love how you always take a more “casual” inspiration photo and make it into something work appropriate on Mondays! Such a fun idea. I’m loving the black and blue together – and your booties are hot!!

I guess my hidden skill is making (almost) anything appropriate for the office!
i think your version is great…in fact i like this look better with a fuller skirt!
Why, thank you!
so cute and love that you added patterned tights

Patterned tights always add just a little bit of something to an outfit. Like another accessory!
You look great! That blazer is a perfect fit!
Thanks!
Hello! You look lovely! The blazer is really nice- a statement, like Pippa’s jacket! I was going to do blazer as well but just went with a cardie!
Why, thank you! Your dress was lovely, as well. Perfect for a celebratory evening out!
I bet you could do a whole month (year?) with inspiration from Pippa or Kate! They are both so fab!!!
They are totally fab! If only I had their $$ to shop!
I swear, either of those sisters could wear a black Hefty bag and make it look amazing. However, I think you gave Pippa a run for her money with this outfit! I actually like the full skirt more than the fitted skirt, it looks amazing with the tights and the booties! (I really like the tights, they add a little texture to the outfit!)
Thank you as well for your comment today, it was so sweet of you to take the time to write it and it really touched me. Thank you so much dear!
Thank you for the lovely compliment! I tend to wear pencil skirts and sheath dresses so a fuller skirt always feels a bit weird to me. Glad to know it still looks good.
