Pinterest Inspiration
Posted November 27, 2012
on:This is today’s inspiration:
What attracted me to this look was the simplicity of it and the combination of black and brown. I think this look is one that almost anyone could put together and add their own spin to. I think this is a great Mom on the Go look for me and just feels like such a casual easy way to wear a dress. Love the basic t-shirt dress and it’s versatility. Here is my recreation, which I stuck pretty close to the original.
I will say that this will not be the only time I wear this black dress with black tights and brown boots, as I love it and already have another outfit in mind which I will post in a few weeks. I actually got so excited about the second look that I took photos and danced around loving it! I also must confess that I did not own a scarf in this shade at all and did buy this one to recreate this look and to wear with some of my winter coats.
I went to the Goodwill thrift store yesterday and tried on several dresses and each one I loved and ended up getting all six of them. After all, when they were all yellow tagged (half price color of the week) I couldn’t resist them at $3.50 each. I am going to try to get my wear out of my dresses in the next month or so before temperatures get too cold. I am limited in pants right now as I do not want to buy anymore until I reach my goal weight. Come back on Friday and see my new dresses.

You look fabulous Tracey! This is a really great re-creation. I really like black and brown together too. Heather


You totally nailed it! Looks great, AND shows that neutrals can go together nicely.
