Copycats

Top: Target; Skirt: H&M (similar 1, similar 2) ; Shoes: Franco Sarto via TJ Maxx; Belt: American Eagle

This is the second look I have copy-catted from a Pinterest pin - this one to be exact! I'm not sure how successful I ultimately was, but I was thrilled to pull some inspiration (denim + floral pencil skirt) from a random pin I came across and not my closet in the early weekday morning. I would love to try this outfit with a lighter skirt and a less structured chambray in the future! I ended up loving the western feel that the belt and denim lent my workday look and took it to the next level adding in a bunch of silver and a turquoise antique ring. Sometimes it's nice to play themed dress-up for a day.

Speaking of playing dress up, I dressed up my hair for this look too, loosely curling it with my curling iron. I ended up somewhere between frizzy and beachy waves and am convinced my hair can't do anything at all that isn't its natural, somewhat wavy/somewhat straight, state of being. Do you guys have hair maintenance issues? I can't braid my hair without it looking like a rat's nest, can't put it in anything but a basic bun, can't pin it, clip it, tie it in a bow... nada. Even when I straighten my hair, it just looks like I blowdryed it with care. I am constantly envious of pins I see where girls can tie their hair in innovative ways or create beehives out of thin air. Someone, please help me!
