Triplets

There are times when someone else's outfit just makes perfect sense. First Eyeliah wore this:


That unexpected combination of different types of stripes inspired Elissa to wear this:

And what do you know, I just couldn't help myself. Both of these looks seemed sophisticated, interesting and, well, just something I wanted to try out myself. The best thing about being inspired by a real person's outfit (as opposed to a picture in a magazine) is that a lot of times the end result ends up being dramatically different from the original. It doesn't feel like you are copying anything. It is more about sharing a viewpoint, and then going your different ways.

I mentioned yesterday that I bought a thing at SA. Well, it wasn't just a thing, it was actually four things, and this Calvin Klein linen skirt is one of those. Since white tags were 50% off, it cost $2.49 - you can't beat that! I love the colours and the length, as well as the material. There is something special about wearing linen. I love that it gets wrinkled and looks lived in.
