Inspiration Monday - Waterlogged

Whew.  What a wet weekend.  I had taken Thursday and Friday off of work because I was running ahead on time off again and because the Pants Monkey and I had originally considered having a garage sale this last weekend.  I am so glad we didn't.  More on that in a minute.

First up, it's Inspiration Monday with two birds and today we have Gwen Stefani in a chic looking outfit with a denim vest and awesome yellow shoes.


I don't have awesome yellow shoes, but I do have a fun denim vest, so I did my best on this interpretation!  And as you can see, it's very wet in my yard.  Starting Thursday night it started raining and pretty much continued off and on throughout the whole weekend.  Pouring at times.  I am so thankful we weren't ready for our sale yet!  We're hoping to try again in June or July, so here's hoping by then we have sunnier weather!

Vest - vintage Lee, Mighty Swell
Shirt - Maurices
Skirt - Cliche Minneapolis
Shoes - Anne Klein, from cousin
Jewelry - Stella and Dot 


There were a few sunny breaks in the weekend too but they seemed few and far between.  I guess there was enough of them though that the Pants Monkey was able to fill a couple of more yard bags of leaves and we finally had someone look at our downed tree limb in our backyard, so at least it wasn't a total washout!  We grilled dinner on Saturday night too.  But for the most part it was just so wet all weekend!

Anyway, enough about my weather woes.  For more Inspiration Monday outfits head over to two birds over here.

  3. Bummer that it rained. Why does it always seem to rain on vacation days and weekends? I like your interpretation and I especially like your shoes today! Heather

  6. It's a long weekend up north here, and we've had rain every.single.day. Saturday we watched movies. Sunday we braved the rain to run some errands. Today? Today I'm in my pajamas on the couch. Wet weather sucks, but I love the excuse to do nothing!

  11. Bethie, I really enjoyed your remarks about Reviving our Dressing up. I know, I love to dress up for weddings. The bride is gowned-out and the invitees are in pants? huh? That just doesn't jive.

    We have been wet here, too. Springtime rain is better than Winter rain, that's for sure. I love this outfit today and the combination of it all, snaps to you, dear friend!

  15. I'm glad you were still able to get some things done at home! Thankfully we had nice weather this weekend (if you consider in the 80s and humid nice...haha!) so I was able to get some outside work done too. Jealous of your long weekend though. I could use another one of those. :)

  16. oooh gorgeous shoes! Sorry about the rain. We've had sudden downpours, lots of humidity and heat. Miserable! Wet weather does suck, especially when you have to get out in it.
