Sweater and Floral



Omg you guys, I saw an outfit a few weeks ago that I really loved. I remembered it as being a short, knit sweater layered over a poofy printed miniskirt, with some simple ballerina flats. I absolutely loved the combination and I wanted to try it for myself. I started with the sweater:  it couldn't be too wooly because it is spring right now, and I didn't want to sweat my ass off. I went for a happy color. I browsed my closet for a skirt and I ended up picking this one because I liked the print and the way the cool blue plays off the warm red. When I got down, my boyfriend told me I had to put my shoes on because we had to get to the bakery to get muffins and bread for our Sunday breakfast (yes, this is last sunday's outfit), so I just grabbed the first pair of shoes I saw. I liked the combination, so I kept them on for my outfit pictures.
This was our Sunday breakfast btw! <3


Now I'm posting this outfit, and I wanted to find the outfit that inspired me a few weeks ago to show you guys, and guess what it looked like.

Dude I totally subconsciously mimicked this outfit, I feel so unoriginal right now :(


But it still looks good.

sweater: Pimkie
skirt: H&M
flats: Kimchi & Blue


PS: Tomorrow is the River Island Student event! I'll see you guys there!


PPS: sorry I haven't been dropping by all of your blogs lately, I'm just incredibly busy :(

  3. I am always reworking outfits I see on the blogosphere, it's such a great source of inspiration. I rarely copy anything exactly though, this is why I love your take on this look, making the best of the things you already have! I'm just about to buy a red sweater, I need some brights!

  11. Aww, don't feel unoriginal! You still have amazing style/fashion taste and your outfit is adorable. How sweet that you got to eat those tasty baked goods. By the way, I featured a photo from your blog in a recent post! (I hope that's okay, it was just a really cool outfit)

  15. I love that you took an outfit you saw and loved and recreated using your own pieces (and I think it has a distinct "you"ness to it). I love the print on the skirt you chose, and that sweater is fabulous. Great outfit

  16. The blog world is about exchanging ideas/style inspiration so I don't think there's a problem with interpreting the original outfit you saw-- I like your spin on it! I nearly bought those flats from UO but I always scoff up patent.

    This outfit would be perfect for transitional weather, sadly I'd have to pair it with tights & a coat over it as it's still in the 30s in Chicago. :(

  18. Yeah, I think this looks awesome! I love that you recreated it with YOUR sweater (with a very cool design/texture) and YOUR skirt. Plus, you added a twist by playing up the blue and red combo more.

  19. can you please sent that sweater over to my place. what a fabulous piece: the color, the knit, the everything. so magnificent. and the combination with the floral skirt is simple divine. a spring skirt with a gorgeous sweater. the absolute perfect spring outfit. cannot stop looking at it.

  20. It's a great formula- and although both sport a red sweater, there's some differences. Yours reminds me of a little girls- very 1960's baby doll, ya know? And you look so accidentally gorgeous in it.

  26. I actually like your take on the outfit better. She looks lost and awkward in the clothes, you look natural and at home, if that makes any sense haha.
