Pinned and Did It - Channeling spring

I always end up doing a clothing post when I link up with Heather's Pinned It and Did It.  I really want to try other things I've pinned too, but right now I've been needing some clothing inspiration, so here you go.  I saw this pin this week and I loved the pairing of a darker green with the mint colored pants - and I had everything to recreate it!

I decided this outfit would be a good way to channel spring even if it is still colder than the North or South Pole outside again today.  I went for a blazer instead of a moto jacket look - partly because it's what I had but also because it would keep me warmer!

Blazer - Calvin Klein, thrifted

Camisole - Old Navy

Jeans - JCP, JCPenney

Boots - Mossimo, Target

Necklace - Bead for Life 

I have a few other pinned outfits I'm excited to try out.  I've been complaining all week about how I'm feeling kind of sartorially challenged between the weather and dressing for being able to nurse/pump and all that jazz, so I do what I always do and let Pinterest help me out!

Art on a Friday

Hello and Happy Friday!  Ready for some culture?  I decided to participate in the Style Imitating Art series for this go round.  Vivienne from Thrifted Shift picked the painting - Jeune Fille en Vert (Young girl in green dress) by Tamara de Lempicka (Polish, 1898-1980). 

I loved the color scheme in this painting, I don't have a green dress, but I knew I could easily pull something together that I think reflects the idea.

I wore this yesterday to work, it was chilly outside, but I had enough layers going that I was plenty warm.  Even a little too warm at some points if you can believe that!

Forgive the photo below here, I didn't pay attention real well to where I set up my tripod yesterday, caught the edge of the desk a little bit!

I really adore this blazer, if nothing else for the simple fact that it is colored!  It is the only colored blazer I own and seeing the trends so far this fall I'd really like to have some more!

So, there is my dip into culture for the day.  I can't wait to see what others do with this piece.  It's not too late to participate, send photos/links to Vivienne by the end of the day on Monday.  Then make sure to check out her blog for the recap!

Onward to the weekend!  We are "Falling back" here in the US, I know other countries had their fall back last week.  I'm not looking forward to less light during the day, but I will take that extra hour of sleep this weekend!!
