20120816-210239.jpgThis is one of those outfits where I put it on, looked at myself in the mirror, and just wasn’t sure if I liked it. But as usual, I had negative five minutes to change, so I went with it. Why yes, I totally meant to wear a crazy, brightly colored print skirt that might be an inch or two too short for the office, and a ruffly shirt, and a mismatching blazer, and red shoes. What?! I mean…yes, I am confident in my decision.

But seriously, feel free to give me your honest opinions. Does something seem off to you? Like maybe there’s too much going on?

Oh, and thanks to those of you who participated in my “Everything Old is New Again” outfit challenge! I will post links to those lovely ladies later tonight. If anyone else posts their outfit today, please let me know and I’ll be sure to include you.

XOXO

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!
