2011 doesn't see that long ago, but that's when I first found inspiration for this outfit. I had seen it on …love Maegan, and back then, either Pinterest wasn't a thing yet, or it just wasn't a thing to me. I basically bookmarked it on my phone and decided I needed to find similar pieces to re-create it. When I first created a Pinterest account and was fishing around trying to see what it was all about - I had an "aha" moment when I realized - oh hey, I can pin the stuff I've been bookmarking! So, I immediately pinned this look to be recorded forever!
Sunnies: Kate Spade (option) | Necklace: Stella and Dot | Top: LOFT (option) | Watch: Kate Spade | Bangle: Kate Spade (option) | Jeans: Express | Bag: Kate Spade (option, cheaper option) | Wedges: Valentino (option, option)
Today, I figured I'd pay homage to my first pin - I actually have better pieces now than I did back in 2011 to recreate this. I opted for the necklace instead of the scarf, just because of the weather. I wish I could find my original picture of my first Pinterpretation so you can appreciate how far I've come since then! Now if only a Burberry trench would just fall into my lap…

Aw that's cute. I love pin it did it's even if it was before you pinned it. You look great Carlyee!
ReplyDelete:) Thank you so much!!
DeleteCould a Burberry trench just fall into my lap too? I'd really like it! haha!
ReplyDeleteI like your inspired outfit - even more because I'm also wearing navy stripes today! Great minds think alike! :)
Away From Blue
Yay for being on the same wavelength! I love stripes, and specifically this top -- I wear it all the time!
DeleteIf you find the source for falling Burberry trenches - let me know! :)
Ahh a Burberry trench-coat. They are lovely. Your first pin is absolutely gorgeous how you did it. I am in love with your shoes, jeans & necklace. I love jeans with zippers on the ankles and now I want a white pair.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you are back from an awesome vacation. I will be catching up with your blog a little later tonight and send some love your way. I'd love for you to see my latest. I am feeling both edgy and sweet with my recent outfit. Thanks for linking up with Tres Chic!

Thanks for hosting, Ada! I appreciate the support back!
DeleteThis is such a classic look. I love stripes with white jeans. And those wedges!! Oh my gosh. I love them.
ReplyDeleteThe wedges are pretty wonderful. I'm in love with them!
DeleteAh, the memories! I love your bag with this outfit!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Becky! I almost forgot I had this bag - I landed upon it again the other day!
DeleteGreat look! I don't even remember what my first pin was but I'm guess it was something from Lilly @ Lily Style (Totally obsessed with her). This combo of stripes and color is great and those wedges rock! Pinterest is so inspiring it keeps my juices flowing! Great post!

Thank you! I'm such a sucker for all things striped!
DeleteYou nailed it!! Awesome Pinned it and Did it!
ReplyDeletexo, Lee
Haha - thanks, lady! My first attempt was not as spot on as this one-- really wish I had a pic of that!
DeleteThat's cool that you even remember your first pin! I remember some of my first, but not really my exact first. I agree with Tracy, this is such a classic look but it's fun to see how you put your own details on it, like the necklace and shoe choices.

It's really just because I kept it bookmarked on my phone for sooo long and when I realized that's exactly what Pinterest was for - I immediately pinned it!
DeleteThe orange and blue are perfect together. I can see why you wanted to pin this!
ReplyDelete:) Thank you for the validation! It's awesome that it's been a few years, but this look is still relevant!
DeleteGreat classic look! I love the color combo!

Awww - well that's probably your love goggles! But I'll take it!! Thank you!
DeleteThis outfit is perfect for spring! I wonder how I could figure out what my first pin was....
ReplyDeleteIt would be interesting to see, that's for sure! If you figure out what it was, please let me know!
DeleteLooking super classic- just like you're first pin! That style is timeless. :)

Timeless style is the best - especially when you never get tired of it!
DeleteI love the choice of colours in your outfit, very French! Stripes are still very much on trend and always look very expensive. I am from the three fer linky and am now following you on bloglovin. I will leave my linkbut please no pressure. I know some people get annoyed at this.

I appreciate you stopping by!
DeleteAnd yes, there's something always so fresh, fun, and interesting about stripes to me!
You look so chic in this outfit, I adore outfits with white jeans and your shoes are amazing! :)
ReplyDeletehttp://crafty-zone.blogspot.com/
It's hard for me to NOT wear white jeans nowadays!
DeleteThanks so much for the sweet note!
I am a fan of stripes. Your wedges are to die for! Great inspiration.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.weshopinheels.com
Thank you! The wedges def make me happy! Neutral wedges with some edge!
DeleteYou nailed this look! Before Pinterest, I would tear pages out of magazines and try to recreate those outfits. Pinterest definitely helped me get rid of the clutter because I had all the photos in one place instead of scattered around my bedroom/closet ;-)
ReplyDeleteNCsquared Life
Yep - before the internet, I would do the same thing! I had a binder and tons and tons of magazines I would never get rid of! Funny!
DeleteI have that necklace...and I LOVE that necklace! You look great and I love your stripes. I'm a sucker for stripes!
ReplyDeletexoxo,
Sheaffer :)
Isn't it the best?? The fact that the pendant comes off just sold it to me even more!
DeleteThanks so much for stopping by!
Such a perfect everyday, wear and go out of the house look; that is also so special! I love how you paired the stripes with that beautiful colored necklace and bag! Also let's try to find a way to have a Burberry trench fall into our laps! I think all of us would just LOVE that haha. Great inspiration and amazing adaptation. XOXO, Elif @ theboxqueen
ReplyDeleteSounds like a plan! I'd even settle for a boy's burberry that just happened to be in my size! I'm not picky! haha
DeleteYou look so cute and I love that necklace!
ReplyDeleteThank you! It's like two necklaces in one! Highly recommend it if you ever come across it!
DeleteSuch a great classic look!
