Inspiration Monday - Shameless

Well here we are and it's Monday again!  Did you all have good weekends? I did even if the weather wasn't perfect, I chose to bake cupcakes.  Lemons out of lemonade right?  Anyway, I'm back with two birds for Inspiration Monday and I love the actress they chose this week - Emmy Rossum.  She stars in one of my most favorite shows, Shameless.  If you have never seen this show, go Netflix or rent the season DVDs - it is kind of offensive at times, OK it's offensive all of the time, but it is also really well done and one of the better shows I've seen in recent years, the acting is awesome.  And Emmy is also a classically trained singer - she has a lovely voice and was in Phantom of the Opera.


So here is my take on her super springy outfit.  The sun is shining today - hooray - but it's still not terribly warm, so I added nylons.  Just can't do bare legs and sandals yet!


And again, since it's cold and has been cold in my office lately too, I decided to add a blazer.  I think it works and still keeps the spring like nature of the outfit - it's a yellow skirt, how can it not be somewhat springy?

I hear there is a chance we may actually get real live spring here in MN by this weekend which would be nice, we have a wedding to go to.  Before that can happen though, there is supposed to be some more slushy snow tonight.  Seriously.  I'm going to ignore that forecast and enjoy the fact that right at this very moment, there is sun.

Head on over to two birds and check out the other Inspiration Monday outfits!

  8. Oh I think you did a great job! I love how you "warmed it up" too :) CUPCAKES, nom, nom. Yeah it has been floating between 40 & 60 here. Very odd.

  12. How totally cute. I love yellow, especially yellow skirts. Perfectly springy too. Hoping you get some real warmth soon. We're expecting a couple more cool days, but I'm going to take advantage and layer a bit more. Today you bring your own sunshine!

  13. What a fun yellow skirt! I just added a yellow cardigan to my closet and have been surprised at how versatile it is. Cupcakes sound delicious and I hope you get some warmer weather ASAP. :)

  15. Totally agree with you - you can't deny the springyness of a yellow skirt (I think I just made up a word there!). Love that blazer too!

  16. I love Shameless, and I think Emmy Rossum always looks amazing on the red carpet.

    Your skirt is so sunny and happy. It turned really cold here this week, and I was left rather high, dry, and freezing after having put most of my winter clothes away. I'm not taking pics, 'cause it's just me looking miserable and sort of bag lady like :O

  17. I don't watch shameless but I've always liked her look. She just seems so sweet and always put together.
    This yellow just kinda makes me happy too so spring weather or not I think it's a win :)
