Pinspired again

It's been awhile since I've taken an outfit I found on Pinterest and recreated it.  I was feeling like I just didn't know what I wanted to wear the rest of this week and feeling a bit uninspired, so I took to my boards to see if there was anything I could attempt even with the challenge of the bump.  I found this one I pinned of Jessica Alba and I realized, yes, I can do this!  Here's the outfit:


It's funny, I was just thinking about wearing my denim vest the other day.  I haven't gotten nearly enough use out of it this summer, so this was the perfect excuse to wear it.  I'm also still crazy in love with this dress - worn as skirt again - that my friend gave me.  It's just so darn comfy, I want to live it in every single day!  I also busted out this cute owl necklace that I hardly ever wear.  I'm not sure why I never wear it, I adore owls!


Completing the ensemble is my Jenna Lou bag.  Still one of my most favorite bags of all time.  And there you have it.  I think I did pretty darn good with this inspiration!  It's funny, the last time I wore this dress was at my garage sale a couple of weeks ago - my mom said it made me look kind of like early Phoebe from Friends. I can dig that, it does sort of have that 90's bohemian type feel to it!

 Dress as skirt - Cliche Mpls, from friend
Shirt - Old Navy
Vest - Vintage Lee, Mighty Swell Vintage
Necklace - Charming Charlie
Earrings - Stella and Dot
Bag - Jenna Lou Designs
Sandals - Clothes Mentor


I know I usually do my bump shots on Fridays, because that is technically the day the gestational weeks change, but I thought this outfit would show it off better, so here you go. We'll be 22 weeks tomorrow.  I am planning another Pinterest inspired look for tomorrow too!  Keep my groove going!  I'm feeling much more inspired again.  Where do you look for inspiration when you feel like you're in a rut?

  1. LOVE LOVE LOVE!! You nailed the inspiration. I have been feeling a little uninspired lately too, so Pinterest is definitely a great tool to get your juices flowing and thinking about outfits.

  10. You did awesome with that inspiration! I love both outfits so much (and I am super jealous of the denim vest- I've been looking for one all summer and I can't find one!).

  11. Bethie! Adorable ensemble today, Girlfriend! I love that Alba inspired you. You can't go wrong with her darling style ways.

    Thanks for loving the lacy peplum. It was ONLY $5. I couldn't get my debit card out fast enough. Huh? $5?

    Your bump is cute!

  12. This is going to sound like the typical blogger, but I decided last night the solution to my wardrobe malaise was to go shopping. I hadn't been shopping in such a long time, and while it doesn't mean that I don't have great pieces in my wardrobe, I just needed something new and fresh to brighten up my choices! An hour later, I came away with 2 shirts for $9, which my husband gladly bought for me, since I promised him I'd save them for our upcoming vacation to avoid the: "OMG I HAVE NOTHING TO WEAR" trauma I will likely have when I go to pack! Even though I'm holding them in reserve, it allowed me to get out of my mental block of "I have nothing to wear" this morning and created a great outfit from stuff I've had for a while!

    I love how the bump gives this skirt an almost mermaid silhouette -- not overly, but it's a slightly more sexy vibe than you usually get with a more bohemian skirt!
