Double the fun on the blog today! It's Inspiration Monday and it's day one of Megan Mae and Keely's Layer Up! Challenge. And I cleverly managed to make both work for me today!
First up we have cutie Taylor Swift here. I will admit to not loving her music as I'm not much of a country girl, but I do think she is a positive role model for today's young girls. I hope she always stays true to her roots. So anyway, here is Taylor's look:
I took the opportunity to share another of my winter coats. We were laughing at the blogger meetup that you can justify having tons of cute coats to pick from in your closet when you live in MN and need to wear one nearly nine months out of the year! So anyway, this one is actually older, I bought it in 2007. I had to laugh when I was out picking up lunch one day a couple of weeks ago, this older lady at the sandwich shop was like following me around in an odd way like she knew me or something. I kind of looked at her and she finally said "I just had to ask where you got that coat, I want one." I had to tell her that it's not exactly new!
My sister-in-law crocheted the hat. It's stretchy and roomy which I just love, because my hair doesn't get quite so squished!. Although I have to say, it's not really cold enough outside for a hat today, I more or less did this for the photo opportunity!
So now on to Layer Up day one! Today is short sleeve over long sleeve. I was going to do a short sleeved sweater over long sleeves, but then saw my cute little short sleeved blazer getting no love, I know I haven't worn it since this fall and I thought, I'm going to pull this guy out for today! So really, this was a pretty easy outfit to put together. Still loving these shorts I bought over Christmas too! I opted for heels instead of boots today too because again, it's nearly 40 outside today.
The rest of the week will be interesting as it's going to be unseasonably warm all week. So, not a week that layers are all together necessary, but I'll do my best to play along anyway!
A little sassy leg shot for you here, ha. I do have to say this outfit over all makes me feel pretty sassy! It's Monday, gotta do what you can sometimes!
