Inspiration – All the Pretty Birds

This inspiration photo is one of the first pins I ever pinned on Pinterest – way before I ever had this outfit blog. I just thought – wow – that purple dress looks exactly like that old weird gap dress I have in the back of my closet and never wear. Except at that time I didn’t have red shoes or a red cardigan and my loose personal policy for this site is to not buy any clothing items just to match a photo – anything new must be for my normal life not for a photo opportunity. So, finally, two years later I now own a red cardigan and red shoes (both from Old Navy) and I was excited to be able to try this picture out!

Red ballet flats worn previously:
Grey sweater & boyfriend jeans
Navy knit sweater & cropped jeans

Dress:

    Again I think your outfit is better. There is something about the change in the style of belt and the length of the dress that makes it much more acceptable to me.

    Length of your dress is way better. I think your cardigan is a bit long though. I also prefer the neckline of your dress. I'd maybe have added a necklace too (just a small, low-key one). I am necklace obsessed though. 🙂

    I would never in a million years think to pair purple and red together, but you look great!
