When: Monday, July 18
Since this week's Inspiration Monday at Two Birds picture was America Ferrera
I wanted to play off of her name and pick a location for the pictures that
paid homage to something Americana.
What better then a recently harvested summer wheat field?!
I love the beautiful golden color of the field against the orange of my outfit.
Although, I have to say that this seems to SCREAM ORANGESICLE!
I love this straw bag and am really happy that I decided to tie the cobalt scarf to the handle since it breaks up the color scheme a little bit.
I should have taken a shot of the scarf.
It has tiny silhouettes of birds in white all over it.
I didn't have the ring on last week that matches my crocheted necklace my friend Staci made but here it is.
I love the blue bead with the copper.
I would also like to point out that this is the only moment in time that my nails looked this nice.
As soon as I picked something up they chipped.
I love this read color but the brand of nail polish is awful!
I have to constantly reapply the polish during the day
and honestly with two kids I really don't have time for that!
I guess that is what I get for using cheap nail polish.
Lesson has been learned: You get what you pay for.
Another lovely crocheted ring via my dear friend.
Such a pretty little piece.
Enjoy!
XOXO,
Julie

This color is fantastic on you! Your two rings are so cool :)
ReplyDeleteAnd I know what you mean about the nail polish. With two kids, after dishes and laundry and all that fun domesticated stuff my nail polish doesn't stand a chance!
i love this outfit. the color is so vibrant and the silhouette looks so lovely on you! and i love that you went all americana in the backdrop!
ReplyDeleteSo clever of you to put this spin in the inspiration monday photo! You look so cute in your red, white and blue with the amber waves of grain in the background - lovely! PS: That belt is groovy! Love it!
ReplyDeleteI think you look wonderful. Colors are perfect.
ReplyDeleteYour rings are beautiful
i would have never thought to play on her name! your outfit is definitely in a different color palette but the shape of the tee and skirt is the same as the original outfit
ReplyDeleteboth are fun summer outfits but both can also be worn out to wine and dine in
great job!
that ring is so cool
ReplyDeletelove the feel of your pics, you did great with the "ameri ca na" theme

Julie, you look gorgeous!! I absolutely adore that outfit and the location for the pictures. It's just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love how this outfit really pops with your back drop. As soon as my sister gets back in town I am going to try and take more interesting shots.

PS> Was this the popcycle day? Because you don't look like a popcycle. I love the color.
I love all your outfits on this blog, and I love that crochet ring!
ReplyDeleteOh I love the inspiration (both the name and the style). Before I even read the text I thought "this is so classic america". So well done!
