Last day of "Inspiration Week". I am in a super good mood today (yes, I said super-it's a great word, everyone should use it more often!) but I got to sleep in, got a good run in, meeting got cancelled...and THE SUN IS OUT!!! It's been like a week of crappy cloudiness, so any sign of sunshine makes me smile!
I drew inspiration for today's outfit from this photograph:
Now, I want to say that I respect and admire Japanese fashion. For those of you who don't quite now what I'm talking about, think Nicki Minaj--but wearing that during everyday life!
I love the bright colors and inventive aspect of their fashion sense, but I don't think I would EVER be brave enough to wear it. This girl's outfit (above), however, is a little more my style--very laid back (if you haven't already figured out my style is very comfortable and casual--most of the time). And this outfit is the perfect way to make sure those summer shorts still fit after a long, cold wint (I don't know if I'm the only one who forgets about having to try them on before I actually have to wear them--hahaha!)
But here's my outfit for a beautiful, sunny Friday:
(Sweater: Macys; Shorts: American Eagle;
Tights: Gap; Sunglasses: Marshalls)
And since today's outfit was so simple, I wanted to highlight the accessories, cause every girl knows, they either make or break an outfit!
Let's start with the shoes:

| Adrienne Vittadini (bought at TJ Maxx) |
A perfect, neutral color, that works great for either casual or more dressed-up occasions. I bought this pair last May for my internship with Las Vegas Metro Police Department. I knew I didn't want to wear heels while going out on investigations, so these were perfect. A little bling and very comfortable.
Next, the rings:
Now, anyone who knows me will tell you I absolutely LOVE rings. I think of every accessory I own, I have twice the number of rings than anything else. I think they are the perfect way to accessorize any outfit, without looking over the top. Oh, and I also follow the mantra of: The bigger the better! (And I'm talking about rings here, all you sick people out there-lol!)
But here are two of my favorite gold rings:

| "Mr. Tiger"--bought at a vintage store in Albany, NY |
I love anything to do with animals in jewelry (and clothing as well!). I bought this ring because 1.) I love anything vintage (means one of a kind!) and 2.) It reminds me of my dream ring:
Now, not everyone can own this beautiful, Cartier ring (especially since it retails at about $23,700!!!), but I think my $20 find is pretty close.
This ring was bought for me by my cousin Hailey while she was studying abroad in London. She actually told me she had bought a turquoise ring for me first, but she liked it so much she decided to keep it and gave this one to me instead. I think we both won in the situation. I wear this ring all the time, because it goes with almost anything.
Hope everyone has a great weekend, and hopefully the sun stays for a little while! :)
