~my closet-copy cat style~

 Although I feel like it some days, motherhood

hasn't COMPLETELY taken over my life.

Aside from my Family Fun magazine subscription

I have managed to cling onto my InStyle subscription.

I love the day each month when I receive

it in the mail. I usually wait until that night

to read it, when I can draw a nice hot bath,

crack open a beer and read it in 

PEACE AND QUIET

after the kids go to bed.

One of my guilty pleasures :)

My favorite feature of InStyle mag

are all the pages with outfit ideas.

I saw an outfit idea that I LOVED in 

my most recent issue and was thrilled

that I had almost the exact same outfit on

hand in my own closet. The only difference

was the color of the jeans.....in the magazine

they showed green jeans. I thought it would look

just as cute with my bright blue jeans.....

and I was right. 

            Rockstar blue jeans- Old Navy

black peplum top-Worthington- JC Penney  

belt- vintage Levi (have had forever)

leopard ballet flats- Target

earrings- JC Penney (gift)

Lucky bracelet- Macey's (gift)    

I loved the bright, bold color with the leopard print.

I'm smack dab in that bizarre stage of

a woman's life when clothing options seem

either "too young" or "too old".

You know, I don't want to seem like I'm trying

to look 20 but I also don't want to look like I'm

dressing as a 50 year old. With this outfit

I felt it was a perfect combo of age appropriate

style, with just the right amount of edginess.
