Inspired Monday

Yesterday I was surfing style blogs instead of doing other things I should have been doing and found this blog and found myself crushing over Laura's style.  Refined, elegant and feminine.

This gorgeous look ...

 

... inspired this look.  

Preparation

I had originally thought of wearing my grey knit, which is identical, but then thought I'd go for the cream and keep the grey for another look of Laura's that inspired me.

When on earth is the posing every going to become natural?

 Our nights are getting longer.  It was decidedly chilly when we out to take these pictures at around 6pm and when we walked back inside both Schatz and I dashed off to put on another layer.

FABruary Style Challenge : Day 25 : Play with eyeshadow

I really don't think the lace on lace worked but I was feeling pretty uninspired this morning and grabbed the first thing I thought would work then threw on the blazer - please excuse my lacklustre Monday style attempt.

Today was a challenge that I find a wee bit difficult - playing with eyeshadow.  I'm quite predicable with what I wear and how I wear it. 

Today I wore a set with a dusty pink, grey and purple but I could not get it to photograph clearly but I'm adding two below.

 ... and as promised last week ... my gorgeous pendant from Taryn for Valentine's day with blue diamonds - I'm so in love with it.  Its from Kay Jewellers and a most unexpected surprise.

Tomorrow evening I have an appointment with my hairdresser - I'm going for a hairline tint, cut, blow and 6 foils  ... I'm tempted to do something a little funky with my cut, but I can almost bet I'll chicken out at the last minute, but I am considering some red streaks.  My style is something between the two below but I'm tempted to go for the first one.  What's your opinion?

Well folks ... that was quite a post - hope you enjoyed and please leave me a comment with your opinions.

 

'Til next time.
