I love doing these “Pin to Real Life” posts because I feel like they go to the essence of what this blog is about. Yes, my blog has an essence. Take a deep breath and you might get a whiff. But seriously…the essence is about how I find styling inspiration (sometimes from my own head, sometimes from other people) and then adapt it to fit my real life. [cue epiphany sound effect – it all makes sense now, doesn’t it?!]

This inspiration for this outfit came from Jenny at Crazy Style Love, and she is crazy fabulous pretty much all the time. She wears things I would never have the lady balls to wear. But then again, she lives in Toronto, and I get the impression that’s a more fashion-forward city than Indianapolis. No offense to my city, but its style is very much sports-based. So if Jenny had come to brunch with me on Saturday in her outfit, she would have looked way overdressed (but still awesome, obviously).

My shorter, less voluminous, skirt is more practical for me, and flats instead of heels seemed more appropriate for the occasion. Finally, I tied my shirt in the front instead of tucking it in because I felt like that added an extra casual touch.

A million thanks to Jenny for inspiring this outfit – I loved it! If you want to see more of the people and outfits that inspire me, follow me on Pinterest!

I was feeling lazy on Friday morning, and I embraced my inner student and wore a college tee, jeans, and boat shoes to my Bar review class. Yes, I’m a normal person. Once in a while. But by Friday night I was back to my abnormal self and was itching to put on some real clothes to go out to dinner downtown.

But still being a mostly lazy person, I had absolutely no motivation to pick out something awesome to wear. While procrastinating getting ready, I caught up on some of my favorite blogs, and happened to see this post from Kimberly at Penny Pincher Fashion. Boom: Inspiration! Yellow tank, white skirt, block heeled sandals. Done, done, and done. Thanks, Kim. You rock.

Oh, and if these pictures look a little grainy, it’s because this genius forgot to bring her big girl camera so we had to use the good ol’ iPhone. After such a miraculously inspired outfit, I wasn’t about to miss out on the chance to document it!

Have a great Sunday – and HAPPY JUNE!
