flattering my form

Hat (previousy worn like this)- Urban Outfitters; Jacket (previously worn like this)- Gifted; Dress (previously worn like this)- Swapped; Boots- Thrifted; Tights- Smart Set; Purse- Aldo; Amber Ring- Gifted; Nail Polish- Chestnut by Sally Hansen

I haven't exactly been bright eyed & bushy tailed this week so I knew I wanted to participate in Something Old Meets Something New Best Form of Flattery challenge for instant outfit inspiration.  She chose the photo below of the always on point fashionista behind Atlantic-Pacific and I re-created her look with a fun fedora, structured jacket, patterned dress and boots (because Mr. five degrees celcius is screaming at me to cover my legs before I freeze!)

I'm also linking up to Spunky Chateau's Thursdays are for Thrifters because even better than thrifted pieces are gifted and clothing swapped pieces (like this jacket & dress) because they're free.  And who doesn't love free clothing!

{Although I don't post my outfits everyday, I do unfortunately have to wear clothes on an everyday basis.  I've been posting all my outfits on my Flickr page so I have a sense of what outfits worked and which ones fell flat.  I post my daily outfits here so if you're bored I can guarantee there are a few looks you haven't seen! Also my Flickr page is linked to the 'Outfit' tab on my blog's right hand side.}
