outfit du jour: the dark don't hide it

The girls over at Two Birds' Inspiration Monday have done it yet again. Don't get me wrong; I love Alexa Chung's style. But when I first saw the inspiration post-I had no clue how I would pull it off. This ended up being one of those weeks where I used the photo as more of a jumping off point, but I love how this turned out, even if it's not exactly like Alexa's look. I'm also linking up for the first time today over at Not Dead Yet's Visible Monday.

If you become a follower or leave a comment, I'll always do the same for you, it just might take me a few days!

  5. I had a hard time this week too but like you did, used it more as a jumping off point. I don't think I've ever seen your face before - you are so beautiful you shouldn't hide behind sunglasses all the time! I love your interpretation and I just read in one of my fashion mags that the red, white & blue inspirations from summer are also carrying over into the fall looks. Nice!
