INSPIRATION MONDAY....Olivia Palermo


Olivia Palermo



Hello darlings, today is Inspiration Monday at Two Birds blog where sisters Megan and Nora host an opportunity for you to wear something in your closet that is similar to the celebrity that they choose and then post on their site here!!  Don't worry they give you plenty of time to  prepare and interpret the outfit by posting  their celebrity of choice early in the week.  I look forward to seeing who they choose with anticipation.  This week is the gorgeous, skinny, fashionista, Olivia Palermo who has never looked bad a day in her life.  She probably rolls out of bed looking gorgeous.  Anyway, I don't roll out of bed looking gorgeous and I have pictures to prove it.  One morning I woke up and looked in the mirror thinking wow, my hair looks pretty good for just having rolled out of bed and my face doesn't look too scary either so I grabbed my camera and snapped away.  Later, as I was driving to the camera repair shop to have my  camera fixed because it broke right then and  there, I thought....and you were going to post a photo of what you looked like first thing in the morning....bullcrap!  When I returned from the camera store, my mirror that I first looked in that morning was actually cracked!!!  Sounds pretty suspicious but it is a made up story to see if you are reading this post....just kidding!!  I did really take photos of myself first thing and well, they are filed under T (trash) and will never be posted. 

Anyway, my black lace and sequin dress is from Macy's {on sale} for less than $20.00 and my vintage 80's jacket with shoulder pads is from Goodwill having paid $3.99.  I had it dry cleaned and cut the big ugly buttons off the collar.  My vintage clutch was a steal for $1.99 at Goodwill.  Shoes by Bongo and sunglasses by Coach on sale.  I hope you like my interpretation...thank you Two Birds, I felt really sophisticated in this outfit today plus I have really been wanting to wear socks with shoes.  Have a great day darling followers and  welcome new followers...I will be by to visit.  Dawn xo
