Same outfit, just buttoned up the coat so you can see the fit. 

I wore this outfit out Saturday and received numerous compliments on this H&M coat.  It didn't break the bank at $49.99 + $18.00 to have the sleeves shortened.  If you're taller than 5'1" the sleeves will probably fit you just fine without alterations.  Sydney from Petite Little Girl does a wonderful review on this coat here.  If you've purchased this coat as well, please leave your information and I will link back to your post.

Thank you so all so much for your feedback on the new "Don't buy it, recreate it" post series.  I'm really looking forward to doing more of those!

Also very excited to announce an Allison Izu review coming up!  Especially after trying on 30 ................(I'm seriously not exaggerating) multi branded pairs of jeans at the mall Saturday and none of them fitting correctly.  If you've reviewed Allison Izu jeans in the past, please leave your link and I will add it when I post ;)

Have a great weekend dear friends!

  2. The jacket looks lovely on you post alterations. I did a review on her petite denim last year. I only had to try on 4 pairs. 30? Holy cow! Looking forward to see the review though. Have a great Sunday!

  3. Thank you EPL! I can't wait to receive those jeans...........although I'm a little concerned now. I know how close our measurements are. Keep your fingers crossed for me ;)

    Thank you Sydney, I'll make sure to add your link to my post. Actually, I was trying on numerous brands of jeans at the mall (all of them looked awful) so now I really can't wait 'till I recieve the Allison Izu jeans!

  12. I just love the way you dressed up the cord skirt. The teal/combo and scarf are just beautiful. They really work well with your coloring.

    Also the jacket and striped dress combination are terrific. The sleeves look perfect on you at their altered length.

  13. Just found your blog and I love it. Following now!

  14. In the 4th pic, is the teal wrap top and Payless shoes both recent finds? I did a review on the coat as well but it does not look as good as it does on you.

  15. my favourite is the one with the pink dress and grey vest. So boho chic and pretty :D My bf would love that look. Your cat is soooo cute as well. My cat always comes in pictures, I think they secretly know whats up and want to get in on the action :D

  16. Oh Callandra...why must you be so gorgeous/flawless :) As usual I love all of your inspirational outfits. If only I could look as effortless as you! The jacket from Target is beautiful! I love all of them but #4 is my favorite! I can't wait to see your next "Don't buy it" post! I just realized I wasn't officially a follower but I am now :) Dreama

  20. Thank you ABC! As soon as I saw that scarf I had to have it....didn't even wait for a sale! Lol

    Yay! Thanks for following Katie ;)

    Hi CP! you're posting now?!! Yay!...I can't wait to check it out. The teal wrap top I just bought from H&M so it's definitely still available. The shoes I bought a lot earlier this year.....I doubt if they'd still be available but there are a lot of look-alikes out there.

    I think you're right Ms. C....I set up the camera and they all coming running! Lol

    Thank you so much Dreama, you're so sweet!

    Thank you Bella ;)

  28. I had a moment of shock since I'm currently wearing the same Loft Sweater dress as I'm sitting here, typing. I've never paired it with a trench - still waiting for mine at Talbots to arrive. But your outfit gave me inspiration to spice up mine. I'm just wearing it with cheetah flat and black tights. Thanks for the tip!
