outfit du jour: better to be

This is my attempt at this week's Inspiration Monday look. I like the idea of this look but I don't think it was meant for me since I really don't feel like skinny jeans/short sleeves look right on me. However, this is something I would wear, especially if I were taller (I'll keep dreaming). Anyway, once again the ladies of Two Birds have gotten me to put together an adorable outfit that I wasn't at all sure about.

Also, if you become a follower or leave a comment, I'll always do the same for you!



Jeans: 17/21, $17., Shirt: Express, $10., Scarf: Urban Outfitters, $10.



Wanted to show you the ombre-ness of this shirt.









Vintage Sunglasses: Thrifted, $3.










Earrings: from Rugged Wearhouse, apx. $3.














Vintage Bracelet: Secondhand, Gift.
















Rhinestone Love Ring: Urban Outfitters, $10.
















Vintage Mood Ring: Secondhand, Gift.

















Pink Stone Ring: F21, $5.















Grey Vintage Bag: Thrifted, $4.























Shoes: Thrifted, $3.

    Funny how sometimes we dont feel comfortable in the simplest thing. Tomorrow Im wearing high top converse, even though I feel like I dont know how to properly wear them. We'll see what goes down haha.

    Sometimes I feel like we are worlds apart, then sometimes I relate to you so well.
    We all have our issues. Putting ourselves out there kinda pushes those little demons away.
    You look great. I wanted to say sweet but I thought you would probably roll your eyes!
    All we can do is keep on keeping on little miss!

    you look so school girl chic! I can't believe you thrifted the shoes for just $3, what an amazing deal! You created your own look from the inspiration, which is great because that's the essence of the challenge!
