Thanks to Mary's suggestion, I recently discovered pinterest, this amazing new site where you can take images you love and make a virtual bulletin board of inspiration. Up until last week, I stored great images and inspirations in my bookmark folder, which was unwieldy and made it impossible to find anything twice. Pinterest is easy to use, really aesthetically-pleasing, and dangerously addictive. I downloaded all my stored images into a style inspiration folder, where I can see everything at once. It reminded me about this outfit, which I bookmarked last fall and loved. I knew I could recreate it to embarrassing exactitude, because I think I have several of the very same pieces in my closet. I know I am a big fat copy-cat, but I do really love the image and outfit.
P.S. I switched up the font to make it easier to read, because a few people mentioned that it got a little murky in places. Don't hesitate to let me know if you're still having trouble--it's easy to tinker with. xo.

Gah, I am still having trouble reading the text in Chrome - I am using a PC, which can sometimes also make a difference.
And hooray for pinterest!
steph--gah, i'm really sorry!!! i don't know what font would be better...i switched from sans serif to serif, and i've checked all three of my browsers (on a mac) so i don't know what to do!!
i'll check a PC at school tomorrow and see what the issue is. thanks for letting me know xoxo
The text is a little light for easy reading but I love the new look. Maybe a darker color would help?
I love the outfit! I just wish I could check out Pinterest at work but I can't. :( The cursed internet blockers!

My academic's eyes thank you for the larger font. I love the shirt and trench together here!
Isn't it JUST so addicting!? I love it and it's so nice to have everything in one place!
I'm a pinterest fool. Love it.
I can see why you wanted to re-create this outfit, I love it! And a million thank you's for the introduction to pinterest!

I really love your site redesign. It's really wonderful!

I've recently started on Pinterest, too. It's great for not being productive at work.

Whoa. Small internet-world. You just started following Things to Wear by Dot Dannenberg on Pinterest. I know her. Like, in real life.
Whoa.
Oh, and also this outfit is adorable on you- I like it better than in the spread!
Wow! You totally overhauled your site!! It looks FANTASTIC!! I love it! I'm having someone help me with the look of mine before I can really start the real thing, AKA, a personal style blog. Hope it comes out half as good as yours! xoxo
Wow what a great replication of that outfit! And on my computer, your font is still hard to read because the coloring is too light.

the site looks awesome girl!
I'm loving pinterest too! Thanks for the invite :)
PIECE OF CAKE. PEACE OF MIND.
Isn't it awesome. i could spend entirely too much time on Pinterest.

Love the new blog layout, it looks great! I really like this trench you wear. I'm on the lookout for a new coat and inspiration like this is certainly helping!
ooooo you're sooooo punny!! I love it! Meanwhile, this look is awesome, and totally you!
I love the new look, it's so clean and pretty! I also love this classic, chic look. I just joined pinterest too, and while I'm still trying to figure it all out, I love it so far!
I love that trench! And I'm feeling myself drawn more and more to mustard (colour) as I see many bloggers wearing it.
WHOA! I had no idea you live near John and Katie! Wow. We must stop now, this is too crazy. Next thing I know I'll realize we're long lost cousins or some such madness.
Your outfit is lovely, the glasses are fabulous, the scarf--as always--looks great on you and the trench is perfect. I need a trench like that. Call me a copy cat too. I love the way you combine colors. The style of the font is really pleasing, but it was a little faint. I thought it was my PC laptop computer, so I switched to a better monitor and could see better, but it's still a bit faint. The whole new look of the website is really great.
love the new style of the blog! your font has this faded style to it, which makes it a bit hard to read. love this outfit. better than the original, I think!
