When I saw this outfit that Kimberly came up with, it felt so very “me” (well I guess it’s really more “Kimberly” but the point is I liked it), so I plopped a photo over on good ol’ Pinterest. A few days later, I didn’t really have an idea of what to wear, so pin to the rescue!
You can read my tips on using Pinterest for outfit inspiration here, but I’ll clue you in on a big one: pin looks that contain pieces similar to what’s already in your closet. Obviously for this outfit I did a totally different color scheme, but I had all the basic stuff: striped tee, leather vest, coat, plaid scarf, beanie, jeans, and boots. And a dusting of snow around my feet – do I get bonus points for that? It was the mix of patterns and layers I liked, so I wasn’t too worried about replicating the colors. Plus these were just the only color options I had…so there’s that.

I love how you recreated this and added in fun pops of color – I am always pinning looks that I want to try to a “secret” outfit board for those days when I am stumped on what to wear 🙂

Hey Hey, I follow Penny Pincher too. FUN! Also, before I read the text, I thought—I love the dusting of snow! So, yes, points!
I really love your take on this. Such a great outfit!
Thanks Ginny! I love the original too, but I’ve never been too good at neutrals 🙂
I love your posts
Kimberly’s blog is great, she has such a classic style. You did an excellence job recreating her look too! And good advice on the tips for recreating Pinterest looks.
