To the Nines: Pinspiration

 If you follow me on Pinterest, you may have seen this outfit before. I was instantly inspired when I saw this ensemble from Sincerely Jules, so when I saw the orange blouse I am wearing below, I knew I had to have it. I love that Jules paired her coral polka dots with boyfriend jeans and leopard print shoes. I already had boyfriend jeans in my closet and I added a mint belt to bring in another color. I have been on the hunt for the perfect leopard heels for a while, but maybe it all worked out for the best since gold flats are better for chasing after toddlers.

             Blouse-Marshalls. Belt- Old Navy. Jeans- Nordstrom.                    Sincerely Jules.

I am so excited to be back in the classroom. C/O Scott's wallet and mom's babysitting skills. : ) I am learning more ways to make ya'll even more beautiful. I get to take Wardrobe Strategies taught by the adorable Reachel Bagley, of Cardigan Empire. This is what I wore to my first day of school. Do you ever know you will love an article of clothing before you even try it on? That is what happened when my sister found this shirt for me. Whimsical prints, bows, puffed sleeves, these are a few of my favorite things. So imagine my surprise when the first time I wore it my husband said to my son, "Mom is wearing her hunger games shirt." I guess men will never 'get' fashion.
