PINK AND BLACK ABSTRACT DRESS - Thrifted BLACK BELT - NY and Co EARRINGS - Heavenly Treasures CLOCHE - Eugenia Kim for Target GREEN WEDGES - Lela Rose for Payless |
Monday's Inspiration: Diane Krueger |
Today's outfit is actually one that I will be linking up with Spunky Chateau and Two Birds' "Inspiration Monday." I know this seems to look nothing like Diane Krueger's inspiration outfit, but really, it was my source of inspiration. I decided that I would try this green and pink color combo, hence the shoes and the earrings, which I normally wouldn't have paired together. I also decided to wear a cloche instead of a fedora, mainly because I just wore a fedora last week.
I love this dress because it reminds me of the 80's and I found it at the thrift store for 50% off. I also got these shoes from Payless. I had been eyeing them online for a long time and I happened upon them in the store only because someone had returned them (they were only avail online!). They weren't my size but somehow they fit pretty well anyway. They were part of a BOGO 50% off and the salesman even gave me an 10% off because they had a little wear on them. I was so excited!
Here are some beautiful pieces from my lovely sponsor, Jaclyn1423, that would look great with my outfit:
Vintage Pearlescent Studs - $12 |
Vintage Amethyst Pendant - $18 |

You look look awesome! Love the dress color and style. I love the 80's look. Wish I still had some of my outfits from back then. Not that they would fit. Love the shoes and I totally respect your decision to stop the remix...maybe next time. Dawn Suitcase Vignettes xo
those wedges are from Payless?! great find.
Great Lela Rose wedges! I will have to give her line another look! xo style, she wrote
Those shoes are amazing, and I love them with the pink dress! I love how you put your own spin on the inspiration look.
You lucky duck...to find these shoes. I admired them from the first photo before I read the story that went with them. I can see the connection to the inspiration photos. Best wishes to Sparkles on the potty training.
Those shoes are amazing! And I love them with the hot pink - I can totally see the connection to the inspiration look.
I just recently thrifted a hot pink 80s dress myself but can't figure out how to style it. I've been looking for grey shoes, but maybe green will work. And then we can do series about how tall and less tall women can wear similar items!
I like your style! I love how you throw colors together and they look so good together. Love, love, love the shoes!
hooray for Inspiration Monday! it makes Monday worth having, ha
I love how you were inspired by the colors, I did something very similar in wearing a pink top, blue skirt and neutral shoes. unfortunately i don't own any hats!
that's a funny little deal! :)) I get how you got your inspiration from it! You look really nice :> :>
You are amazing! :) I love those shoes and the dress :) and the earrigns... and....
Thanks so much for coming over and following! Loving those green wedges too!!

Love your shoes. Poor Princess Sparkles. I can just imagine her pretending those plastic lips are a popped bubble. When I was young we didn't get gum often, so we substituted that plastic stuff you'd roll onto the end of a tube and blow up into a balloon. When it lost its air we'd chew it..Yuk!
I love that dress and yay for Payless shoes! :)
The dress definitely reminds me of the 80's, the best parts of that decades fashion. Those shoes are super cute I would have said Target but Payless has good shoes too.
ps. The remix is a mindset and you have to be in it. I'll only do it again when I feel the need to teach my shopping habit a lesson..lol
you look so blair waldorf beautiful!!

Hi Claire! Guess what!?

Ah you look soooo pretty!!!!! What a gorgeous dress! I love the colour of the shoes but there's no way I could walk in that height- I stand in awe!
Claire, Love the color of those shoes. I like when people put their own spin on inspiration monday as well as the ones who copy it perfectly. I've done both. Debbie http://thriftygirlvintage.com
The sponsored pieces are so you, I can imagine you rocking them!
And you always have such good luck with shopping and chancing upon items, I might need to have some of that rub off on me. ;)

I got my calypso for target wedges on clearance and I am so glad I did! If you see them again you should pick them up. They are the perfect summer shoe and are well made from what I can tell.
Simply...gorgeous Claire! Love this outfit!

I am definitely a fan of the 'loose' interpretation of the picture...this outfit is gorgeous! Again, with the amazing thrifting finds!
so true about the gum thing. We dont want the kids to have gum until they are much older but sometimes I just want to say here take it Mommy needs some quiet time. hahaha
I love that dress!! It looks great on you, and then I saw the shoes--so cute! I want your whole outfit :)

p.s. I used to love mr. potato head as a kid and "dressing" the whole family - it was just the best. I can see why Princess Sparkles is obsessed with the lips!
"Pearlescent" I love that word!
Your dress is fantastic and I really like your wedges!
princess sparkles is so funny and full of imagination!
love the dress! it fits really well!
