hello loves.
once upon a time,
there was a girl named gee
she woke up one morning and was in the mood to take outfit pictures.
there was a girl named gee
she woke up one morning and was in the mood to take outfit pictures.
she went to her closet and suddenly felt nothing was jumping out at her.
she was not inspired.
she decided to dragged herself into her office...
where she kept many catalogs from stores that she adored & drooled over.
but, unfortunately could not afford...
(but just in case..she kept them around for ideas.)

but, unfortunately could not afford...
(but just in case..she kept them around for ideas.)
she was looking through the anthropologie & free people catalogs when she stumbled upon a beautiful outfit picture that she fell in love with.
after staring at it for awhile,
she decided she could somehow come up with a similar outfit for less.

gah! You are so adorable!!! I LOVE the story!! Sometimes I will look at my overflowing closet, stuffed with dresses, skirts, cardigans, tops, tees and I will be like : "I have nothing to wear!!!" I love that you found inspiration from a magazine and put your own spin on it!!!!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant!!

ReplyDeletePssst. I have a secret! Your look is cuter by far!!

ReplyDeleteThis is such a cool outfit! I would have never thought to pair these different layers and patterns/fabrics together, but they all look so lovely together on you! :)

I love this! You have excellent style :)
ReplyDeletelove the outfit dear! You have managed the perfect amount of layering, and the hat looks so adorable on you! xxx
ReplyDeletethat story was amazing. glad inspiration was born in some form or another. Beautifully done!!! I love it.
ReplyDeleteI love this outfit! The way you put everything together really works, which I'm kinda jealous of. I feel like if I had tried to mix this many layers, I would look like a hobo. Obviously, living in Texas, I get little to no practice with lots of layering.
ReplyDeleteyours looks so much better than the original!
ReplyDeletekeep up the good work, girl. you've got it for sure!
Such a cute outfit Gee, and I loved your little story and inspiration! Sally x
