OOTD: copycats and a straggler

I really enjoyed "copying" those outfit ideas last week, so I decided to take another stab at this again this week. Copying these pictures has really given me a lot of inspiration in putting my outfits together in the morning. I'm excited about figuring out which look I'll try to emulate each day!

Here are a few from this week:

This is a look from Eloquii, one of my fave new clothing lines. While I did change up the look a little bit from the original, I think it's still in the same spirit. I opted to NOT do a scarf because of the ruffle detail in the top I'm wearing.

Top: H&M

Skirt: Dillards

Shoes: Nine West via Marshalls

Belt: Rue 21

So, I'm not exactly sure how I feel about this look. In theory, it works. However, I feel like I'd be more comfortable if I hadn't tucked in the top. Usually, I don't tuck shirts in like this because well, it tends to draw attention to the fact that I'm "thick in the thighs". Heh. Where the good Lord hath giveth I do wish he'd taketh away...just about an inch or so. But I'm working on that. :) Also, I generally don't wear this much...lack of color, but I think it kind of works. At least in the replicating the inspiration photo.

And here's an outfit that I didn't use an inspiration photo for. Sure, the idea came into my head from seeing belted cardigans and ruffled tops but there wasn't a specific one I was attempting to replicate. I When I first put this on I thought it over-emphasized by hips...way too much. But in the photographs, I really liked the way it looks.
