PMT - Wear Something Neglected for 6 months

This week's challenge is to wear something that has been neglected for 6 months.  I went looking through my archives and was shocked at the things I would say I really love, but haven't worn in a long time.  Like this cardigan.  Is it even possible that I haven't worn it in over a year??  I mean, I might have worn it and not blogged it, but even so, it's crazy to have gone a whole year without wearing this in a blog outfit.  I love this cardigan!  So here it is being reintroduced to the world, and hopefully will get more action in the future.

This is also a copycat outfit, because that just makes life easier.  I stole the idea from Caroline over at Tasteful Style, because she just looked so great in maroon and polka dots!  And I added the scarf for a little extra warmth, and coverage.  I wish my dress had a higher neckline like hers!

Cardigan: Old Navy
Scarf: Loft
Dress: Loft outlet
Tights: H&M

Just Another Giveaway

Gap Sweater; Loft Scarf; Target Skirt; BareTraps boots

What better way to kick off the first Monday of 2013 than with a giveaway?  I said I would do another one when I hit 75 followers, but that happened right before Christmas, and I figured the holidays were crazy enough, so I decided to wait until January.

Since I love Charming Charlie, I had to include another of their fabulous necklaces.  I went with cobalt blue, since I've been loving it so much lately.

I'm also throwing in a $5 Starbucks gift card for the winner.  I truly want to thank all of you lovely people out there who take the time to read my silly little blog.  I wish I could give each and every one of you a present, but that's probably not in the budget!  For now, there will be one winner, but I hope to do more giveaways in the future.  The winner will be announced next Monday!

Unintentional Copycat

As I was editing these pictures, I thought the outfit looked really familiar.  Then I realized it was very similar to the outfit from this pin.  (I just wish I had realized I was stealing this outfit, because I would have added a skinny belt.  I also really wish I had a polka dot scarf, which is one of the items on my birthday wish list!) 

Then I thought copying an outfit without realizing it sounded familiar, and I remembered that I read about a very similar situation on Whitney's blog the other day.  I'm beginning to wonder if there are any original thoughts left in the world.
