Inspired by Pinterest | Giving the Cold-shoulder!

Today was one of those days where it rained on and off all day.  And it's just something about rainy days that just put a damper on my mood.  I was content with staying in for the entire day and forgoing getting "dressed".  But my husband has the ability to always lure me out!  And this is what I wore...


Inspiration


                                                    Source: vivaluxury.blogspot.com via Erica on Pinterest

When I pinned this, I did it with the intention of recreating this look.
I love these colors and their vibrancy.
And there is nothing like a crisp pair of white linen pants!  This outfit really brightened up a rainy day... and my mood.
Wearing:  top: McCall's 6287; pants: Talbots; purse: Urban Expressions; wedges: Sofft.

  1. Great outfit, I love the colour combo too and the pop of unexpected colour in the bag. I've got to start pinning more outfit ideas, I'm just no good at putting separates together.

  8. Erica,
    I love summer dressing too. Nice colors in your blog. A favorite dress I have is called the Rock Fish dress. I get compliments when I wear it. It's sort of my go to summer dress because it's all cotton and comfortable. I featured it on my own blog here: http://thesavvvyshopper.blogspot.com/2012/07/m-mac-rock-fish-dress.html

    1. Thanks GV! I used a very lightweight rayon jersey. It's a t-shirt weight.

  15. Classic, yet sassy and modern. I shy away from color typically but this is inspiring.
