Inspiration Monday - The ides of March

Hola peeps!  It's Monday again.  And it's snowing again here in good old Minne-snow-ta.  I'm so thankful for my short commute on days like today!

Perking up a snowy Monday just a little bit is Inspiration Monday - today's pick is Kate Hudson in a flowy shirt and wide leg jeans.


I decided to try to make the look work for work, so I chose denim colored dress pants instead of jeans.  Definitely not sunny today though, so no sunglasses for me!


There's a second picture of Kate showing her wearing the jacket she's carrying in the one above, so I added a jacket to my outfit too.  I like the look and it's definitely keeping me warmer than I would be without it!

Shirts - Decree, JCPenney
Jacket - Bill Blass, thrifted
Pants - Express, thrifted
Necklace - S&D

Did you all have a good St. Patrick's Day weekend?  We definitely Irished it up yesterday - perhaps a little too much.  We were already pretty wiped by 5:00 yesterday evening and ended up going to bed by 9 - guess that's what happens when you start your day at 10:00 am with Irish coffee!  Or maybe we're just getting old.  Either way, it was a good day while it lasted!

  6. Snow! It's so windy and cold here, but at least the sun is out!

    This is a short week for me (Friday off!) so it can't go too quickly!

  12. Hahahahaha, Bethie. Hope you are okay today, for work and all. I don't drink but when I had an office job, the day after St. Patrick's was always a touchy day for those dealing with the hang overs. I hope your day was indeed happy. Yes, the Oreo cupcake wasn't half bad. And ...I don't like Oreos.

  16. Love the colors in this outfit! For St.Patty's day I had corned beef and cabbage at my mom's, visited my muffin-head cats and then spent the rest of the evening in a food coma.

  17. Love the jacket with the outfit, and I bet it was needed to stay warm! We had freezing rain/just a lot of rain here in Ohio today. :( There is nothing wrong with a 9pm bedtime - we were in bed by about 9:30pm! :)
