Back to basics

So today I'm not linking up with any challenges.  No Pinned It Spinned It.  No Inspiration Monday.  I've been putting almost too much pressure on myself on some of these things lately - while I like having inspiration on days that I'm feeling a bit stuck in my wardrobe and in a fashion funk - right now it's almost too much the other direction - and I don't want to be stuck in "I have to find the perfect look to recreate this look" mode. Some days I just want to go for ease and just be me.  I might not always be the most fashionable on my own, but I do the best I can!


I got this shirt from my cousin - it's so very simple it's hardly special - but it has nice jewel detail and makes it so I don't have to wear a necklace.  And I like it with the shoes I got from her as well.

Shirt - Ann Taylor, from cousin
Sweater - American Rag
Pants - Sonoma, thrifted
Shoes - Calvin Klein, from cousin 


I was just seriously stressing out last night about what to wear today that would fit the pinned look from the challenge and I realized, it's not worth getting all crazed.  I think from here on out I'll feel a bit better with giving myself permission to just blog what I feel like blogging. If I want to use inspiration ideas from link ups, challenges and what not I will, but if not, that's ok too. I still have plenty of pinned looks on my own Pinterest board that I want to try, so now I can look at those more again.  And hopefully I'll get back to blogging other aspects of my life as well besides fashion - that was my goal for this year after all for the blog.  Simplify.

And on we go.
