Who’s ready for a new “Pin to Real Life” post?! I know I am. If you’re new to this concept, it’s where I take inspiration from the outfit of one of my favorite bloggers and recreate it to fit real life. This is the first time I’ve featured Mara of M Loves M in a P2RL, but in reality I’ve copied several outfits of hers. Now she’s finally getting proper credit.

It was probably her pretty pastel coat that caught my eye, but then her black and white dress reminded me of my favorite wrap dress, and then I got to thinking that it might be a little cool and unexpected to wear such a classic dress with a sorta edgy ankle boot. (Sarah: making lawyer wear edgy since last October.)

Mara’s outfit was already pretty “real” and not too “bloggery” (because that’s a word), but she doesn’t live in the Midwest, so I had to add an extra layer. Now all I have to do is grow a few inches, be drop dead gorgeous, and get a better camera. No problem.
