WIW: inspired by Vicki

(Sorry for the bad iPhone photo)

I was inspired to jazz up my brown tweed blazer with my colorful Nexx blouse, thanks to Vicki's post yesterday, and I felt so much happier in it - it's got a whole new life. THANKS, Vicki! I even tried strike a Vicki pose - can you tell I'm an introvert? I don't look quite as comfortable as she does.

Don't be sorry, Sarah! You are as cute as punch and I love seeing your outfits. I miss them when you don't post.

LOVE this boyish '70s look on you :). Vicki is a brilliant inspiration isn't she?

I really like this outfit. The blouse is a beautiful colour! You look good!

Your expression is pretty funny - it reveals what you are thinking about your pose!

That bright blouse is GREAT with the tweed jacket! That's the way to use inspiration when you see it!
And I love your pose, too!

Love the bright blouse with the tweed blazer looks great. Do you like the Nexx blouse and did you order the petite size.

Thanks, all!

Renee, I do like those NEXX blouses a lot - I ordered the regular, because the colors I wanted weren't available in petite at the time, but I think a petite might have been better for me length-wise.

Angie, I think this might become a FFBO for me this fall and winter : )

Oh yes! This is wonderful on you. I love the balance of bright and brown. It's amazing how we can learn from people with different styles, isn't it?

I like the way you think, Sarah. FFBO is a great idea. The printed belt does wonders for the outfit

and a printed belt is something that never would have occurred to me before YLF ; )

(well, neither would a coral shirt, for that matter)

I love everything about this! The belt is really the perfect finishing touch. I really enjoy the unusual mix of colors too.

I have been wondering if my brown things would get any wear this fall (if fall ever comes -- still high 80s-low 90s). Thank you for the inspiration. This is classic and I love your playful pose. The top really wakes up the brown; I never thought of that color combo -- to be copied for sure!
