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 :(

    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!

    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)

    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

    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. :(

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Neeeee, je bent geen copycat! You're just "inspired by" ;-) En ik vind persoonlijk jouw outfit mooier! Hoewel die witte hartjeszonnebril er wel superleuk bij staat.
    Damn, dat ontbijt van jou doet me watertanden! YUM!
