Habits

Walmart Wedges ($10); Everything else is thrifted, Top ($2), Belt ($2); Skirt ($1)

Many of the images I pin look a lot like this.  Tucked in top, full skirt, belted.  That's how I like it. :-)  It's still a look I'm working on perfecting, but I'm getting closer with each attempt.

Thanks again to Erica, Grace, and Kayla for hosting this week!  As always, it was tons of fun.

F21 Vest ($18); NOTW Tee ($10); Old Navy Maxi; Old Navy Flip Flops ($3)

I was super excited to see Kayla's pick because it meant I got to break out my new denim vest!  Vest aren't usually my thing, but after seeing the likes of Kendi and Jess rock them this summer, I was willing to try it out.  Pretty sure it's a winner. :-)

Target Dress; Gift Shop Necklace ($16); Shopko Sandals

I loved the mix of dressy and casual from Grace's inspiration image.  So I decided to take a "dressy" little black dress and add some casual flat sandals and beachy beads.  Done! :-)

In other news, the humidity has returned, as you can tell from the above frizzyness.  We also drove around with the windows down all day so that did some damage to the hairs too.  Poor things....never stood a chance today.

This week I'm participating in a whole week of Open to Interpretation hosted by Kayla, Erica, and Grace!  Today's inspiration image was picked by Erica (here).

This button-up was another one of those thing I bought "for the shop" that I ended up keeping.  I can't resist the subtle stripes, 3/4 sleeves and breezy quality to it!  It was perfect over this tank with jeans.

Today I'm linking up for both Open to Interpretation and Copy Cat Friday!  This was the inspiration for the challenge: 

I decided to go for the pattern mixing and the silhouette, although I LOVE what the girl in the photo is wearing, I don't own anything much like it.

Pardon the face.  Outfit photos are not usually the first order of business during my day.

OTI: Basic

Sweater ($3) similar; Skirt ($3) similar; Shoes ($?) similar: Thrifted

Necklace: Gift from my husband (similar)

For today's challenge, we were asked to interpret this outfit.  I have very little in my closet that looks anything like that, so I went pretty basic: sweater + skirt + heels.  Done.

To answer yesterday's jacket vs. coat question, I consulted the all-knowing Google.  It seems no one really knows if there's a difference, but most agree that jacket = lighter weight/dressier, and coat = winter, heavy, warm.  It also seems to depend on what part of the country you're from.  So there you have it. :)

OTI: Stipes and Brights

Sweater Dress: Dress Barn

Striped Top & Booties: Old Navy

Tights: Target

When I learned that Kayla and the other ladies who have been doing OTI were opening up participation, I was super excited.  This is the outfit they chose for us to interpret:

I saw this and thought "chunky sweater, striped top, bright bottom".  And the above is what I came up with.

The link party doesn't open up until Thursday the 8th, but I did it a few days early because we have a holiday party to attend that day.  But this means that if you're reading before that date, you still have time!  Do it, and then link up your post on either Kayla, Erica, or Amy's page on Thursday!  :)
