Inspiration Monday

I hope everyone had a great weekend.
Mine very nice, even a surprise visit from son1.
Not a very long visit, but it was nice to see him just the same!

It is Inspiration Monday today over on Two Birds and our inspiration is Jessica Timberlake.
Did you have to read that name twice to figure out it was Jessica Biel???  I had totally forgotten that she had married Justin not too long ago.

One of the great things about doing this challenge is that sometimes it reminds you of forgotten
or overlooked items in your wardrobe. 
 I have passed over this velvet blazer so many times it should be a crime.
  I have had it for quite awhile and every time I wear it I think, "I should wear this more often",
but I never do. 
 Maybe this time I will.
Since my blazer was a color ~ I opted to use a dark shirt,
 just the opposite of Mrs. Timberlake.
I love any excuse to wear my leopard smoking slippers and this is one of my favorite bags.
 I couldn't resist NOT putting any accessories with this look,
 so I added the bracelet and necklace for a little flavor.

Are you a fan of this simple yet put together outfit?
Do you have a forgotten item in your closet
 that you are going to go hunt down now?

I love your velvet blazer way more than the inspiration look. It's so much richer with the leopard flats. Gorgeous!

I do exactly the same with the velvet jacket I am wearing in my outfit!!! Yours is GORGEOUS! I adore the whole way you put it together, right down to the shoes! Oh and thanks for clarifying who she is! I didn't realise they'd married!!!

I haven't worn Gap jeans in a long time but after seeing how good you look in these, I'm going to have to check them out again. Love that jacket and the whole outfit.

What a pretty color Brett! And I'm in love with your loafers :)

Unknown said...

I am so behind on my celebrity news, I didn't know they were married! LOVE the colour and look of this velvet blazer and that it's still warm enough for you to wear rolled up jeans and shoes with no socks- it's a winter wonderland over here! I also really love that tribal esque necklace!

Peggy said...

Great recreation! I always want to add accessories too!!

Teddi said...

I love a bit of velvet, your jacket is lovely. Pairing a luxurious fabric with more casual items works brilliantly! xxx
