INSPIRATION MONDAY...studs and sneakers


GOOD AFTERNOON... happy Inspiration Monday to you.  If you don't know what to wear today and need some great ideas to draw from, head over to twobirds blog where sister duo Megan and Nora post a celebrity photo earlier in the week for you to put your spin on. Normally, I would not have worn a sweatshirt with a ballroom maxi skirt and sneakers but I pulled it off today thanks to twobirds and Kate Bosworth.  I may even wear this to work tonight because it's appropriate and comfortable for Bingo with the Seniors.   I hope you had a wonderful weekend.  I am officially addicted to Words with Friends thanks to Jenni my friend and follower of this blog.  If anybody out there wants to play, let me know and I will be happy to beat you at  play a game with you.   Find me at Missthrift.  Have a great day!!  Thanks for dropping by.  I am linking up to Patti at Visible Monday and Twobirds thanks for hosting!

Kate Bosworth the inspiration for this outfit..




Thanks for dropping in darling readers, have a great day!!

I love this Dawn, you look so comfy! I couldn't do the sweatshirt thing, too warm and too casual for work. I love the color of your skirt, such a lovely shade of blue!

Patti @ NotDeadYet Style said...

Hey Dawn! Great to see you. I love your vibrant blue skirt mixed with the grey sweatshirt - very cool. Thanks for sharing with Visible Monday!

i prefer to play words with friends with strangers (words with strangers?) so i can't be embarrassed if i lose horribly! you look lovely and i think you should wear this outfit again because it looks equally stunning and cozy!

This skirt is fabulous Dawn. What a colour!
I love how Inspiration Monday sometimes has you putting things together that you normally wouldn't - it a great way to experiment and find new ways to wear things.

Kezzie said...

Worn, the skirt is so beautiful- it looks like it has lovely motion! Great combo of contrasting items Dawn, lovely!

You did such a good job with this inspiration. I just love how the sheer underskirt drapes delicately over your ankles in that sitting photo.
