I don’t remember exactly what I had planned to wear on Tuesday; all I know is it did not work out. I was crunched for time and didn’t know how/where to start over, and then I had a miraculous pre-coffee stroke of genius: Pin to Real Life is making a comeback! (If you’re just joining us, you can get the low down on Pin to Real Life here.)

I pinned this outfit from Merrick a few days ago because I loved the mix of patterns and textures, plus it was so simple and comfortable. Her printed pants are way cuter than mine, but I did what I could. And I love her addition of yellow flats, but (shockingly) I don’t have any! So I added my yellow with a necklace instead.

Many thanks to Merrick and Pinterest for saving me from going to school in my PJs!

I’m trying to think of something clever to say about this outfit but I’m coming up short (which I often do…as I am short). I’m blaming my writer’s block on the large amount of queso I just consumed. For most women, cheese goes straight to the hips. For me, it goes straight to the brain apparently. But even if it did go to my hips, I would camouflage it well in this fit and flare dress. BOOM. Clever segue back to the outfit. I’m amazing.

P.S. How great is this sparkly collar?!
