Pinspiration (& Bangs)
Ahhhh, you’ve returned to me. Thank you. Have you come to view the bangs? The bangs are friendly, but please do not tap on the glass. Or feed the bangs. That could get messy.
Ok ok, let’s set that silliness aside and get down to the nitty-gritty of what I like to call Pinspiration (inspiration found on Pinterest of course). While I don’t feel like tackling another 30 for 30 right now (check out my previous remix’s here & here), I do feel like a bit of a bloggy challenge to get me though the post holiday haze that is January.
Enter Pinspiration. It seems like the prefect time to spend the month embracing some of the many gorgeous pins that continually call my name. So, everyday I’ll post a piece of Pinstiration and what it lead me to wear or make or eat…you get the idea!
To kick things off, I picked this pin. A cozy, yet totally chic outfit. Oh how I wanted to slap on some attitude and go stand in a wickedly cool street.* Instead I opted to grab a baby (mine this time), jokes jokes, and awkardly run through various parking lots trying to dodge raindrops (which I don’t think can actually be done, so why do I try?).
I’ve previously mentioned a few of my resolutions for 2012 (not falling alseep in my clothes from the day has already proved to be too ambitious a goal), and mixing up my outfit poses is just one in a list of many blog improvements I hope to make over the year. However, this is not exactly what I had in mind:
*I also tried wearing socks with my loafers but I just couldn’t do it. My feet asked me not to.
Love the bangs! Very cute. And adorable outfit! Where did those loafers come from? They’re fantastic!
Thanks sweets! I totally forgot outfit details! Oops! I bought the loafers at a thrift store for only a few dollars. By far my favourite pair right now.
Love the outfit and the bangs!!!
You look cute with those bangs. =)
Your bangs are really cute! Love how they look with wavy hair of your length.
And what a good idea on the little pinspiration challenge – I pin a zillion outfit ideas but don’t tend to follow through on them. Time to go give one a try!
Thanks Ladies!!!
Anne, you should post your recreation! Send me the link!!
Love the bangs…very stylish!!!

Thanks Jenna! That’s a lovely comment coming from the possessor of the best side bangs ever :)
what a cute outfit! happy new year ;-)
Love the bangs & what a great idea to use pinterest. I joined in on the boot sock trend from what I saw on there =)
You look really lovely! The bangs look really great on you. And I love the huge scarf look.
Haha. Love the last look the best, for sure. And I think you did a great job recreating the Pinterest look!
Thanks so much everyone!
Great look! Love the chunky scarf
SUPER cute bangs!! Love the pinspiration too. It’s just cute all the way around.
Cute outfit! And I’m a fan of the bangs, good look:)

I love the bangs and yes..boo to socks!!
I like the pinspiration, that is a great blog idea and I love the bangs and the last pose. I think you should do more abstract crazy poses that involve props! Lots of props! Or pretend rocking out like you do in the Midnight bangs!
Hee hee, bring on the props hey?! Too funny! I’ll have to give it a try! xx
love the bangs as well! pinterest challenge sounds like fun… hmmm, do you read young house love? they do this with DIY/house stuff, but such a fun idea for fashion! I totally noticed, the lack of socks, but otherwise you nailed the outfit! Hope you had a great holiday!

love. the. bangs.
they totally suit you! excellent job scissors!
I like the bangs! Granted, it might be because I have similar ones :). I especially like them when the rest of the hair is pulled back (otherwise known as third day hair).
Love the Pinterest challenge! I could waste hours on that site and look forward to seeing what you are inspired to do.
Ooohhh, I’m excited to embrace third day hair!! Bring on laziness that looks cute!
SO lovely, and the bangs are hot! I totes love them on you… And I’m digging the new blog poses ;)
Love, love, love!! And love the new pose too ;) If I ever wear real clothes again, I had a couple pinterest outfits in mind. I have a midnight bang problem too, but yours turned out much better. So glad to get a chance to catch up on my bloggy friends. Yours always makes me laugh! (Well, cough/laugh these days.) so
Awww Finley!! Much love to you my friend!! xx
I LOVE THE OUTFIT! And the bangs!
Nicely done!!
Your recreating of the pin is so good! Very cute! I think doing Pinspiration post is such a great idea. I have so many pins I always want to recreate!
I was just blog hopping around and came across your blog, I’m so glad I did. I’m a new follower! : )
