Inspiration Monday - Quiet

Hello everyone!  Welcome to Monday.  It's a rather gray one here, we're getting some rain today and then maybe some snow tomorrow.  Lucky us!  I guess it is November and it is Minnesota after all.  Anyway, being Monday, it's also Inspiration Monday with two birds - today we have Freida Pinto (??? anyone ???) dressed in a super cute ensemble from an upcoming collection from H&M.  I have been avoiding fast fashion when I can but I can't help but love me some H&M!


I did my best to copy this look - I even incorporated an item of my own from H&M from last year.  It sort of works with the baby bump - I wish it tied over the bump than under it, but what are you going to do?  I'll just look like I'm carrying high today.

Sweaterdress - H&M
Blazer - Bill Blass, consignment
Leggings - Target
Boots - swap
Necklace - S&D


Did you all have nice weekends?  Ours was very quiet for a change and you know what?  That was ok with me.  I did get a bunch of baby clothes washed and put away so that was nice.  Mr. Monkey had to work for a bit on Saturday, so opted for a pretty quiet night at home with a couple of movies.  Finally watched Behind the Candelabra - I highly recommend, it's very good.  We also watched an indie flick called Free Samples that was kind of cute.

Sunday I met a couple of friends for some mall walking before the mall opened.  It was great, we could window shop without risking spending money and I got some good exercise which was nice too!  I headed home and was pretty much lazy the rest of the day, save for one trip to Sam's Club to stock up on a few things.  I really don't mind that it was such a quiet calm weekend, we've kind of been needing one of those.


The extra hour of sleep from daylight savings time was nice too!  I don't like how dark it is at night now, but getting up in the morning feels just a little easier!  I'll enjoy it until that winter hibernation mentality sets in anyway!

Head on over to two birds for other Inspiration Monday outfits.
