Blogworthy

Do you ever skip posting outfits because they're just not blogworthy?......Somedays if I get up late or don't plan the night ahead I fall back on the appropriate "work uniform" and wind up not posting just because I'm so bored with the oh so familar formula. 

That was not the case with this outfit, but it has nothing to do with my own styling brillance.  The moment I saw this outfit on Kendi I was on a mission to track down that amazing necklace and recreate her look.  I was not able to get the JCrew blouse that Kendi wore, but I did find this short sleeve blouse from the Loft Outlet and I believe it is a close enough look alike.  Saw it, fell in love, had to copy!

Outfit Details:

Loft Tweed Jacket (2009?)
Loft Outlet Polka Dot Blouse (tag number 255123)
Areopostle Avery Jeans (Thrifted)
Anthropologie Necklace (Thrifted)
Target Leopard Print Wedges (2008)
Nine West Crossbody Bag (TJ Maxx)

  1. Yes, I skip outfits all the time (well, except during this 30 for 30). Sometimes the outfits are redundant, but others they are just a hot mess. I'm thinking of putting together all my hot mess pictures so everyone can get a good laugh. We'll see if I work up the courage :)

    I love this entire outfit on you! Especially the statement necklace. Two thumbs up!

  5. Thanks for stopping by my blog. :)

    Love your outfit. You did a great job with copying the look. I stalked the JC website after I saw the blouse on Kendi too and managed to grab one. It still pops up there once in a while, so keep checking back.

  8. I love this outfit! so great! You do make me wonder if we'd really like your 'unblogworthy' outfits. They are probably better than you'd think.

    Thank you Leena, this necklace has proved invaluable already....I love it!

    Thank you Sydney!....this is my favorite tweed jacket (I think I love it so much because of the flattering neckline and peplum desgin)..haven't really thought about it before, but I probably should since I wear it so much.

    Wow!...Thank you for the tip ABC!! I will absolutely do that ;)

    Michelle, I posted the tag information for this blouse in the outfit details, but if you happen to run across one that you like better please review...I'd love to see it!

    Thank you Hanna.....I just can't stop myself when it comes to pairing dots and animal prints....must be a compulsion ;) Lol

  19. I skip outfits ALL THE TIME because while they feel "ok" on...they photograph terribly. sigh. haha like today, for example.

    I love your outfit as always, this casual chic thing is what I aspire to. But I am pretty sure you can wear a pillowcase and style the heck out of it too. :)
