Color Me...Sassy!

Despite my domestic goddess status, I do occasionally like to put on some shoes and step out of the kitchen...preferably into a nice restaurant.  I've been struggling with stepping up my fashion game since baby has now fiiiiinnnnnnaaaaallllyy gotten past vomiting his mild spitting up phase.  I can rock the jeans and cute top "outfit" and the occasional dress, but putting together an outfit, much more difficult. 

Well, hello, Pinterest.  Several months ago I started my "When I want to look sassy" board and daydreamed about a world with gorgeous BCBG wedges, fabulous jewelry, and color combinations that hadn't crossed my mind. 

Thanks to my awesome, seriously AWESOME, parents, I had a week to myself!  The hubby and I flashed back to 2006 when we were pre-kids.  Dinners in town, spontaneous naps, and to get to the point, outfit assembly.  I scoured my board and landed upon a cute little ensemble that paired a blazer, white tee, and leggings.  In all fairness, I made this choice because I happened to have the outfit basics already and due to the spontaneity mentioned above, I had limited time to get ready.

Here's the pinspiration....

Here's how I pulled it together.

I had to wear one of the hubby's shirts because I didn't have one that was long enough, so I belted it and decided to go with the brown/black theme.  The blazer I picked up at H&M along with the heels.  I think the leggings are from Target.  Completed it with a ton of brown and gold jewelry.  

A couple of notes...don't know why I've got the "nobody puts baby in a corner" thing going on.  And, seriously, don't look at my hair.  Houston humidity wreaks havoc on my hair (and I had a hair appt later that week).   

Let me know if you think I pulled it off!  How have you been fashionably pinspired??
