Who Do I Remind Myself Of?




Top: Gap
Shorts & Shoes: Urban Outfitters
Tights: RW&Co
Belt: Jacob

While i'm not participating in any formal wardrobe challenges this month, I have challenged myself to try to wear all of the abandoned clothes in my closet. So out came this plaid top which I have only worn once. Oops.

Now, have you ever put together an outfit and then decided that you reminded yourself of someone but couldn't put your finger on who exactly you reminded yourself of?

Did it turn out to be a Canadian Mountie combined with a Lumberjack? Yah... that happened to me too.

My only regret is that I didn't carry an axe around all day. Just a latte.

  1. Lattes taste much better than axes. And also keep you warmer.

    And lumberjacks can't pull off shorts and tights quite like you.

    You're beautiful!

  11. I'm not getting a lumberjack vibe at all! You look great. Can't believe you've only worn that shirt once. It should come out to play more often.

  12. Lumberjacks don't wear maryjanes. They'd chop their toes off!
    I think it looks great and not lumberjack-y at all. :)

  14. I have the same top and love it to death! I actually get hounded by my family and friends for wearing it too much! It looks super cute on you, especially belted :)

  15. Hahaha you're hilarious. I see what elements you're talking about but you look a million times cuter than both combined :P I can't believe you've only worn that shirt once! I love it and think it would be so easy to throw on... nice and casual with a perfectly feminine touch. I'm also loving your "remixed" feature these days... great reference and helps show your creativity!

    Hope you're having a great week Melissa!

  16. I love the math problem there at the end. But you look much cuter than either of those men.
    Yay for pulling out the less loved items of your closet. It's nice to get re-inspired with them.

  18. I see the similarities but:

    a) Lattes = <3 (so much better than an axe!)

    b) You're much cuter than both!

    Love the outfit!

  21. You look so cute! The plaid top is awesome. I'm sure you can make lots of use of it! Try tucking it into a pair of shorts, too. Your artwork at the bottom with the Canadian Mountie & Lumberjack= Awesomeness. You look the best though. :) Way more fashionable than the rest haha.

  24. I think you should carry around an axe sometime whilst wearing plaid and see what happens... social experiments are always fun :)

    Luckily you look cute, so you'll prolly get away with it...
