Today marks the 1st edition of the Best Form of Flattery!!!
The Best Form of Flattery series is all about finding inspiration from a variety of sources. Today's inspiration photo came from J. Crew's Fall lookbook. Here's what I came up with: |
| Button down - hand-me-down from Mom Theory sweater - FC ($18) Vintage leather skirt - FC ($12) Vintage Dex boots - FC ($24) Vintage clutch - FC ($10) Wrap bracelet; Vintage watch-bracelet; Thrift cuff; Belt from shorts |
I took the inspiration to layer a button down (buttoned all the way up) under a slim-fitting sweater, and adorn both arms with "wrist candy" from this J. Crew look:
The Best Form of Flattery: 2nd edition: Atlantic-Pacific
Atlantic-Pacific is one of my favorite blogs. Bee is a constant source of inspiration, popping up all over my pinterest boards. So, let's see what you can come up with and how you can be inspired by this! Remember, the Best Form of Flattery does not have to be an exact rendition of the picture (though it can be), you can break it down and be inspired by any piece of it!
Just follow the froggy link below to add your own J. Crew-inspired look, and be sure to come back next week to link-up and find out who's inspiring us next! Can't wait to see what you guys came up with!

I absolutely love your look- the purple and red look great together! I have so much fun gathering inspiration from different sources! I'm participating in another blogger challenge this week but would love to participate for the next edition! :)
This is gorgeous...especially love the tie at the waist :) Mix and Match Fashion
very preppy chic outfit, I kinda like yours more because of the textures and colors. The red boots shouts fabulous. I like the Atlantic pacific outfit too, the layering is clever, androgynous yet feminine at the same time. Thank for the inspiration.

You did a fantastic job styling this outfit! I love the perfect cut of your leather skirt (and that you thrifted it!), the unusual-but-delightful colour combo, the buttoned-up top, the repurposed belt...lovely head to toe!
If I come up with anything clever this week I'll be sure to link up!
Those reddish boots are fantastic! An absultely perfect color for fall and great for a pop of color in the winter! Love that they're flats too which means that they are super comfy!!! Great styling!!

I LOVE your version of the J Crew look. You look absolutely amazing - all of the pieces are just perfect together.
I'm sorry I missed this week's link up - I'll try to figure something out for next week's look!
I think this is a really fun idea! I won't be able to participate this week because I had to take my photos in advance, but I'll definitely try to get a look together for next week's inspiration photo!

What a great feature idea. And you did an awesome design recreating the look with what you have.
Amanda I need those boots! Now! I'll find you trousers and you find me boots! Deal? :)
Just discovered your blog through Style Journey. Love what I see. I will definitely link up. Love your take on the image and that leather skirt is fantastic!

i love the sash tied around the skirt and the layering of the button down under the sweater adds a nice preppy touch. love it!
cute & little
This is so cute! I wouldn't have known it wasn't J.Crew if I hadn't look at the item list. I probably would go with a regular pencil skirt, not leather, but you are killing it! Also, I have to ask, what does FC stand for?

Wow! This blog looks just like my old one! It's on a entirely different topic but it has pretty much the same layout and design. Outstanding choice of colors!

You really make it seem really easy with your presentation but I find this
matter to be actually one thing which I feel I would by no means understand.
It sort of feels too complicated and extremely wide for
me. I'm taking a look forward to your subsequent publish, I will try to get the grasp of it!

Howdy would you mind sharing which blog platform you're using? I'm planning to start my
own blog soon but I'm having a hard time making a decision between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and I'm looking for something completely unique.
P.S Sorry for being off-topic but I had to ask!
