STRIPED DRESS - Libertine for Target RED BELT - Thrifted LEATHER CUFF - Made by my mom FRINGE BOOTS - Forever 21 |
Monday's Inspiration - Olivia Wilde |
"I want to stand next to the princess!" That's what Princess Sparkles exclaimed during the wedding rehearsal. Princess Sparkles kept calling my cousin, the bride, a "real princess" and her groom was "the king." She was so excited to be part of the wedding and wear her big white poofy dress. She proudly walked down the aisle and Pigtails was so excited to see her sister, shouting her name and clapping her hands as she made her grand entrance. Princess Sparkles had such a ball being part of the wedding party and loved dancing in the center of everyone at the reception.
Pigtails cheers on Sparkles! |
Today's "Inspiration Monday" from Two Birds is Olivia Wilde. Basically she's mixing stripes, biker chic and fringe. I decided to wear my $10 Libertine from Target dress with a red skinny belt. Instead of a fringe purse I went with the fringe boots (because I LOVE them!!!) and since it's too hot to wear a motorcycle jacket (and it just didn't match), I went with a leather cuff instead.
I think I'll need this entire week to recover from my busy weekend! Especially since Princess Sparkles is turning 4 on Thursday and I'm going to have a small get together to celebrate on Sunday. I'm getting tired just thinking about it! But hopefully it'll be a very special birthday and Princess Sparkles too can feel like a "real princess!"

Ooooh I want your boots! I now know why you love them since the fringe is so super cool!! I didn't get a chance to buy anything from the Libertine line. Jealous!! Love the stripe dress!!
Are you buying anything from the Missoni Target line coming out September 13th?
I missed out on the Libertine collaboration and love this dress! I have a navy and white stripe cardigan but I think I like the green and navy together much more! The boots are awesome too! Sounds like you've got a lot of recovering from the weekend...weddings are always busy and I can't imagine attending one with two small kids! SuperMommy!
Big wow on those boots! Stick a
couple of plastic google eyes on
them and Princess Sparkles could pretend she has a couple of new pets.You should definitely take the
week off and relax...Disneyland, a
wedding and a birthday to come...I'm pooped just reading about your schedule.
love your fringe boots,unfortunally there is no forever 21 in genova!!!!

those boots are a spectacle! So cool with that fringe!!! I adore your dress too. This was such a fun challenge!
Love this dress!! And I love how you paired it with a red belt. I probably would have been predictable and paired it with blue ;)
Love Olivia Wilde as the inspiration, and I want that purse!!!
I have that dress. Now I wish that I had a red belt to pair with it.
I'm sure your cousin loved being a "real princess" for the day too. I love your more colorful take on the inspiration look! It's more season-appropriate too--I'd be so sweaty in a motorcycle jacket!
Awww how cute of Sparkles! :D
And I love your outfit, can totally see the inspiration :D

Loving all the color. That green is beautiful!
Happy birthday to the little princess!
I'm actually not a huge fan of fringe myself. I really like structured looks and so the fringe is too much for me to handle.
Oh, those fringe boots are KILLING ME!!! LOVE!!! And the striped dress is brilliant!!

I wish I have girls so I can enjoy them as flower girls..my boys hated to be page boys, so they always chicken out at the last hour. I remember this dress, it's unforgettable because of it's awesome color, and you paired it perfectly with fringe boots!

See?? Now this is stripes done RIGHT. I love it. You look gorgeous. I seriously think that everyone needs to print out this picture of you, tack it on their closet door, and use you as inspiration when they think about wearing a striped top/dress.

Such a great take on Olivia's look! Those boots make such a statement! I really love how you paired them with the stripes and pop of red. Looking forward to seeing your looks for the upcoming Remix Challenge!

Those boots are soooo amazing. I love the way you took the inspiration in a different way, but still incorporated all the elements. Sounds like the wedding was a hit. Congrats to your cousin.
oohhhh I'm digging the fringe!
