Channeling My Girl Crush

Shirt, Tights, Socks: Target, Boots: Etsy, Skirt: Modcloth
Monkey Painting: My neighbors trash

I saw this skirt on Modcloth when I was shopping during one of their sales this winter. I was like ‘Ooooo I love that! The colors are great and it reminds me of that skirt that Virginie has!’ So I added it to my cart (even though it wasn’t on sale, the horrors!!!!) And sometime after it was ordered but before it got to my house she wore it again. And I realized it was the EXACT same skirt. In case anyone doesn’t know I have a huge girl crush on Virginie but ordering the same clothes takes it to a whole new level. It’s about to get all Single White Female up in here.

So as an Ode to Virginie, and because I’ve been participating in the Freckles in April winter prompts I decided to try & channel Virginie. Who always seems to pull together the cutest elegant outfits and isn’t one of those bloggers who seems to have an infinitely large closet. Also she is making a movie, which is awesome. So Virginie, while I may have some of the same clothing as you, occasionally try to dress like you, I pinky promise not to get your hair cut and then try to murder you.

It was raining, and dark, and I forgot my tripod… SO indoor shots. They ended up better than I expected (although still not great) and Ian-dog insisted on being in the pictures.

    Fun skirt! I feel like it could be DIY-able too… just cut up a bunch of T-shirts and sew them together…

    It cracks me up that you got that painting from your neighbor’s trash. It’s so you though (the painting, not the act of going through neighbor’s trash :P)

      Well… I do get a lot of things from junk piles in the neighborhood… I’m a REALLY good recycler.
      I’m not a painter but I love that there’s just a big unfinished Capuchin monkey on our wall. :)

    That skirt is pretty awesome. Sometimes it is okay to be a copycat!

    Such wonderful colors! Also, I had never heard of Virginie so I clicked over…and now I have a girl crush too. Can’t blame you a bit for wanting to channel her!

    Ha! As I was reading your post, I thought of that movie and then you mentioned it. Very apt.

    If we got thrown into Blog Prison for copying others’ styles, I’d be serving a life sentence.
