Managing to be Inspired, finally!

I've missed out on a lot of 'Inspiration Monday' opportunities. Two Birds do it every week. They are so dedicated! It is such a fun exercise to look at a photograph, soak up details and allow those details to inspire an outfit from your own wardrobe. Try it. You will pull items off the hanger you haven't worn in awhile. You will pair those items with other items you never thought meshed well. I'm going to participate more often in the future.

Every week? Probably not.
As much as I can? Yes!

Manageable blogging is key, which basically means not committing myself to anything. Ha.

I did manage to participate this week!



This dress is from F21 and was a birthday gift from my mom. The velvet blazer is wrinkle worthy at a wopping $.25! I posted about it before here.

I added this cowl (from Target last year) to the look, because my dress has the same cut as Maggie's and I'm not one to show much cleavage. Sometimes 'Function > Fashion'?



I need to come to terms with the fact that any photo location in San Fran will ultimately have an audience of some kind. People passed by, partaking in their normal Monday routine while I was taking these photos. It was embarrassing. Self talk helped: "DO IT", "BE EFFICIENT", "GET IN AND GET THE HELL OUT"!



So, don't pack away your maxi dress yet. Throw on a blazer and transition that piece to your fall wardrobe!
