Hellllllo Readers! Wow, two posts in one day. Seriously?? This is not what I intended, and I really hope I haven't catapulted you all straight into the arms of Snoresville! I have been working on my inspiration board to get all of my many goals organized, so I can slow myself down and take ONE. STEP. AT. A. TIME. Wreeeeeeeeeeek! Bam! Derailed....
A very stylish friend of mine, Lori, sent me a nice email this evening around 9pm telling me about a site titled EVERY BODY every wear, where readers may submit their stylistic interpretations for the given theme. The opportunity to play along with this fun game is once a month, and today happened to be that day... Theme: Black and White.
So what totally insane thing do I do? You got it. In jammies, bedroom shoes and all, I ran straight up the stairs and down the hall for my closet, pouring over the items in my head, because what if this opportunity is over by 9:30pm?? I've got to hurry! I literally pull this outfit in 2 minutes and take 10 minutes to put it all together. It took me 7 of those minutes to tie the scarf on my head! It is really hard to tie a slippery silk scarf when you are moving so fast, and you can't seem slow down enough to even roll the scarf through your fingers.... There's a saying... "The Hurrieder I Go, The Behinder I Get". That is me.
Anyway, I got it on, and I'm ready! Racing back to the top of the stairs I yell down to most wonderful man in the world... "Jon, grab the camera. Please hurry!" Kinda like a real emergency only not. Anyway. So here you have it. For now, I gotta go to bed.... hopefully I'll be able to sleep. I'm a little wired. Black + White...
Well what do you think? How did I do?? I am thinking this will serve as Fashion Friday, on a late Tuesday night, and I'll bring you the deets on Sunday.
For the love of classic basic black and white gone stylish... Have a wonderful week! Whitley

Thanks everyone! I sure did have fun doing this for the first time. Meagan, the dress belonged to my Grandmother, as did the little red sash on the purse and one of the bracelets. I appreciate the feedback!
DeleteI love this, and can totally understand the frustration with the silk scarf! :)

ReplyDeleteThanks for the inspiration. Today I spiced up my casual day at work with my little Virginia scarf. It also helped me tame my reckless Friday hair.
