Please Ignore my Face

Going through the photos of this outfit was like one big blooper reel. I don’t know what was up with my face this day, you guys. I don’t remember being grumpy, but for some reason I look like someone just ran over my puppy. Even my hair looks depressed. And these are the good photos. In the ones I didn’t use, I look like I’m contemplating a murder-suicide.

Anyway, I just wanted to clear things up and let you know that everything is A-OK, despite what you might think by glancing at my face. Hopefully you’re looking at how awesomely flattering this pencil skirt is instead. I feel like I look very Mad Men. Which I guess is appropriate since I look so mad.

There are lots of places people get style inspiration: magazines, store mannequins, awesome blogs like this one…But sometimes I think inspiration can sneak into your brain without your realizing it.

Exhibit A: One night earlier this week, I watched like 4 old episodes of Gossip Girl on Netflix. You can judge me if you want, but I love that ridiculous show. The next day, I got ready for work, saw myself in the mirror and thought, “Hmm, when did Lily van der Woodsen go brunette? Oh wait, that’s me.”

Unfortunately, I did not have Lily van der Woodsen’s wallet…just her typical shift dress, statement necklace, and sleek low bun. I did enjoy being a chic Upper East Sider for a day though. Next week I’m headed back to school so I have to wear my “dress up” clothes and heels while I can! 

XOXO – Gossip Girl. I mean…Sarah

P.S. You have a whole day to finish the outfit challenge!
