It has been a really long time since I last participated in "Inspiration Monday" over at Two Birds (hosted by the lovely Megan and Nora). This week's inspiration post featured Selena Gomez, and as soon as I saw it I gasped. I may not have a military vest, but I *do* have a blouse that is in a similar style...
AND I NEVER THOUGHT TO WEAR A BLOUSE LIKE THIS!

| Oh Selena, you clever girl. |
So without further ado, here's my more feminine take on Selena's style.
What I'm Wearing:
Blouse: B Jewel (TJ Maxx) | Jeans: House of Derreon (Macy's) | Necklace: Vintage | Earrings: Gift from friend (World Market)
Sunglasses: Gift from mom | Shoes: Tahari (DSW)
I've been wearing this blouse buttoned up and tucked into slacks at work, so THANK YOU Inspiration Monday for providing me with a new way to wear this top! I actually rather like it.
Today was your usual crazy Monday at the vet clinic. It's always busy on Mondays for some reason, and today was no exception. Cruciate tears, corneal ulcers, big-dog-little-dog attacks...you know, the usual. I'd love a good ol' kitten or puppy litter exam...where are THOSE when you need them? ;)
In other news, I've been taking FULL advantage of living with a piano again. There's nothing like de-stressing after a long day at work by banging away at the keyboard! I think I've finally gotten the hang of "He's a Pirate" from Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. What do you think?
My next piano project will be "Concerning Hobbits" from The Lord of the Rings. Yeah...my inner nerd is showing a little bit here...but Howard Shore's musical score is seriously fantastic! I'll post a video once I'm semi-competent at it. Do any of my readers play any instruments?

That's a cute top! I love looking at other people's interpretations of Inspiration Monday!
ReplyDeleteI semi play piano. I've actually been wanting a keyboard again so I can start relearning to play. Maybe Santa (or my husband) will bring me one for Christmas! The song sounded great also! I definitely need to start playing again! =)
Thank you so much, Amber! I definitely think you should try playing again. I actually didn't play very much for a couple years, but found it wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be to work out the rust. Go for it! :)
