INSPIRATION is the Sincerest Form of Flattery...

Some may call it imitation, but I prefer to call it inspiration.  After all, when it comes to fashion we are all inspired by some lovely muse out there, and it is truly an honor when we can inspire others in the same way...right?

Well, I was thrilled to receive an email from my sister-in-law, Audrey a couple days ago.  Audrey was so inspired by my Fashion's Prisoner post that she promptly purchased her own striped maxi dress! Of course, she added her own summery flava to create a look all her own!  So meet today's Featured Fashionista Next Door... Audrey!

Isn't she WORKIN' that sunhat?  I love it!  Audrey's look is very similar to my brown belted look, but the sunhat and thinner belt takes the look in a whole new direction.  Big floppy sunhats always have a summer resort vibe to me.  Also, I just noticed that the trim on Audrey's dress is black.  I hadn't noticed that small difference online before.

By the way, this the kind of fashion commentary that my fiance just rolls his eyes at.  It's like that moment in The Devil Wears Prada when Andrea giggles and says the turquoise belts are the same when they are they are clearly soooo different *wink wink*

If you missed the original post where I showed you how to create 5 different looks with this one dress, please go check it out here! This fabulous and incredibly versatile dress is from Forever 21 and costs only $15.80!  I know, I know, insane.  One Dress + 5 Looks + Under $20 = A SERIOUS BARGAIN!

I am finally home from my convention!! Yippee! I'll be running errands and being a bum all day, but there will absolutely be a new outfit post tomorrow!  I picked a few goodies at the thrift shop yesterday, by the way.  As usual, I'll reveal the clothing purchases one by one as I wear them, but I couldn't wait to show you guys the wonderful vintage handbags I scored.  It was like vintage handbag heaven yesterday....These were each about $5.  I am pretty sure that the blue one is my favorite...maybe...

Thanks for stopping by!!!
