inspiration monday: bloomers!

surprise, surprise, i went thrift shopping this weekend. i found what only can be described as the most fabulous green bloomers in the world. i saw them on the rack, grabbed them, and didn't think twice. they are so cute and i plan on making them a summer staple. and the cherry on the ice cream was that they were half off....half off $1.99. yep, these bad boys were $1. i love them even more.

my inspirations seem to come from a handful of people. i love blake lively. i think she's classy and beautiful and her styling is nearly flawless. so i'm not surprised that i have found inspiration in her more than once. she's a close second behind alexa chung! i found this picture of blake and loved the outfit. up until last year, i have never thought i could/should wear shorts. i have fairly short legs, and they were never flattering on me. but i finally figured out that if i throw on a pair of 5" heels,  then maybe – just maybe – i can wear shorts! so here's my ol' college try.
