Sometime last week Holly over at Running in Stilettos & I got to chatting about how we have pinned a million and one outfits (give or take a few) and it was time we actually started using them for inspiration instead of just letting those pins sit pretty on our respective boards.
So we decided to offer up a challenge of sorts to each other. Each week we are going to pick one outfit that one of us has pinned, recreate it at some point during the week, and then post our 'versions' on Mondays.
Just a fun little game to force us to wear things in ways we may not have normally thought of, remix our wardrobe a bit... and we figured we would share it with you all on here!
Without further ado, I present to you this past weeks' inspiration outfit:
And here's how I made it my own:
I went with a punchier color pallet, we had a really sunny weekend and it seemed more fitting! I made it my own with a striped pink button down, pink stone necklace & a purple belt.

| Making it my own - week 1 |
 |
| The popped collar made me giggle when I was getting dressed |
 |
| And the reason why I love these boots - they tie! |
Gray Sweater: JCPenny's (old)
Pink Button Down: American Eagle
Skinny Jeans: Paige
Boots: Steve Madden
Necklace: Buckle
Belt: Old Navy
So, what do you think? Would you rock this look? I don't wear button downs under sweater's too often... honestly I feel like Ellen when I do, but this outfit was a lot more feminine! I actually really liked it, I think adding the belt made a huge difference too.
Don't forget to go see how Holly made it her own!

Love it gurl! I need to do this! HOW FUN! I pin wayyyyyyyy too many things that I have never done...
Cute!!! :)
bahahhaha ellen...
Oh hayyyyy gurl. You so fine.
Love it! This is a great idea. I always say I need to bring my computer into my closet with me in the mornings because I never remember what I pin!
I think this is super cute! Love the idea of recreating a Pinterest find and sharing it. I look forward to your other recreations!
Great job! SEriously if Pinterest is good for anything it's fashion ideas!
I am really bad about that too! I actually save photos to my iPhone and use them when I'm shopping. Sometimes it's hard to realize that you have all of the parts you need. Way to go on following through with your pins!
What a great idea! Those boots are SO cute!!
I just love the pop of pink!!
Loving the outfits and how fabulous are your boots!
xo
cute! I guess that's what all of these outfit posts are for, right? Inspiration , especially for Monday mornings when you just don't feel like it. :)
Love this post. Can't wait to see more...
so cute! i think i like your take on it MORE! :)
SO CUTE!!! I actually like the fun punch of color you did better than her more neutral options!
I love that idea! Some day you should make this a link up. I think I repinned that outfit after you - I love it.
What a fun game!
It looks super cute on you, but I'd be nervous about rocking it. I get used to wearing things a certain way =/
So cute! I could NEVER put that together! Love it though!! xo
Haute! Love it! I tried an outfit I got from pinterest the other day and felt oh so fashionable! :)
aww love it!! i need to do the same (:
Yes, I would rock this look. Too bad I can't wear something like that to work. I need to start getting more adventurous in my outfits.
love this outfit! and those boots are to die for!
