PinSpiration | 'Cause Pink Is The New Kind Of Lingo

Today I decided to mix my love of music with fashion!

Honestly, I was trying to come up with a good blog title and nothing really was working for me.

So I decided to look for songs with colors and it just worked.

At least for me it did ;)

I can't believe that I am kicking off my first PinSpiration post of the year with something pink!

It is one of my least favorite colors :/

But when I was looking through my Pinterest boards for something to recreate for work I found these photos.

I actually love the look of gray and a soft pink together!
I knew immediately that I had a pink pair of pants
that would be perfect.
And my gray sweater is quite a few years old from Stitch Fix, but it is so easy to throw on for work on cold days.

I skipped the scarf like the first picture since this sweater has a nice big turtleneck on it.
I threw on my creamy white boots and added a black bag like the second inspiration photo above.

Perfect business casual look for me at the office :)

Similar Sweaters - Turtleneck Sweater, Oversized Sweater, Tunic Sweater

Similar Pants - Leggings, Skinny Jeans, Pixie Pants, Skinny Cords

Similar Boots - Modern Cowboy, Ankle Bootie

Seatbelt Bag

I would love for you to join me every Wednesday with your PinSpiration outfits!

Just find an image on Pinterest (or really anywhere on the internet) and recreate it with items you already have in your closet.

As you can see above, it doesn't have to be perfectly matched to the inspiration photo.

Use what you already have and make it your own!

Just have fun with it!

Don't have a blog?

No problem!

Just share your looks on Instagram and tag me @xtremelyv

Seeing Spots | PinSpiration!

Today is a 2 for 1 post!

I'm linking up with Shay & Erika to share some of my winter wardrobe, as well has sharing my latest PinSpiration look.

While this winter hasn't been too bad (🙏 that Phil is correct and spring comes early),

it still has been cold enough here in Ohio for my go-to winter jacket.

I bought this hooded camo jacket a couple of years ago from Abercrombie and it has been one of the best investments I have ever made!

Underneath that jacket has been just about every sweater I own! lol!

When I'm not at work, I am throwing on sweatshirt.

I recently picked up a bunch of leggings from Old Navy and Walmart, so I'm living in those outside of work as well.

Now onto my PinSpiration outfit of the week!

These shoes!

Katy shared these sneakers (only $19!) as a dupe for the pricier Adidas version.

I knew I had items that could easily recreate her look.

Performance Jacket - Similar

Camo Jacket - Similar
Leggings - Currently on sale for $9

But I wasn't done there.

I wanted to recreate a look from someone that wore the Adidas sneakers.

Adidas Swift Run - $85

Leggings
Denim Jacket
Sweatshirt - Similar
Hat
Custom Tote


How did I do?
Do you have the original Adidas or the Walmart Dupes?
What does your Winter Wardrobe look like where you live?


Thanks for stopping by today!
And don't forget to link up your style posts below :)

PinSpiration | Cozy Cool

It's time for another week of PinSpiration!

We dressed down for work recently and I thought this outfit was perfect!
I found these images on Pinterest and knew I had similar items in my closet to recreate the looks.

Obviously, since I was going into the office I wasn't going to be walking around barefoot ;)

Cream Cardigan - Similar

Gray Jeans - Similar

Black Tank - Similar

Crossbody Bag

Booties - Similar

Necklace - Similar

I switched out the tank color just because that is what worked best for me.
I absolutely loved how this recreation turned out!
I felt completely pulled together for our dress down day, as well as ready for whatever else the day threw at me :)

Now it is your turn!

Link up your style/fashion post below :)

I'm also linking up with The Style Six Ladies (Shelly, Lisa, Andrea, etc.) and Nancy's Fashion Style this week.

2020 Friday Favorites Week 10

Hello and Happy Friday!

Linking up with Andrea, Narci & Erika for another week of Friday Favorites!

We kicked off our weekend with some Snapchat filter fun!

I thought this one was hilarious!

Me with the baby filter and X with the woman filter.

We are definitely related! lol!

On Saturday Mic and I headed north to the Cleveland Auto Show.

We haven't been there in 7 years!

The last time we were here we were picking out what my future car was going to be - a year later I got a Toyota Highlander.

This time around we were again looking at what my next car might be in a few years.

I didn't take many pictures at all.

I just enjoyed the day with Mic doing something we both actually love!

I actually took this picture for X since they had an area set up where someone was playing Fortnite on the big screen.

On the blog this week I shared my latest Prime Finds.

What I wore to the auto show was my latest PinSpiration recreation.

And I joined a fun new monthly link up called Throwback Thursday!

Look at 3 month old X! 💚💚💚

On the gram this week I shared some random things about me in this post below.

Check it out here and let me know if we are similar :)

It has been Dr. Seuss week at school for X!

On Monday they wore pj's and brought a good book to read, but I totally forgot to take a pictures of him :/

On Tuesday it was wear Green!

They made and tasted green eggs and ham in his class.

Again, I forgot to get a picture of him before school but thankfully his teacher came through (Hey Lindsay!) 😄

Wednesday was backwards/wacky clothes day.
X was super pumped to wear this tee backwards! lol!

Thursday was favorite hat day.

Honestly, he doesn't wear hats that much so he only has a couple of them.

Since I have a huge collection he borrowed one of my favorite hats.

He picked out my AC🗲DC hat and gave me his best rocker face before we drove to school 👅

His teacher came through once again and sent some pics of The Cat in the Hat coming into their classroom to read, share some snacks and even gifted them all a book!

Friday is wacky socks day!
X keeps things super simple with black, white or gray socks every day of his life.
I am sure he will rock some of my silly socks for school tomorrow ;)

Two opportunities to link up with me next!

Good Eats on Tuesday

PinSpiration on Wednesday

Hope you all have a great weekend!

2020 Schedule

Hey there friends!

I hope 2020 is off to a great start for you all :)

Today I wanted to share a schedule of events that will be happening weekly/monthly on the blog.

These are opportunities for you all to link up with me throughout the month.

Weekly Link Up

One of my favorite blog posts from the past was Pin-spired hosted by Shay, Mel and Sheaffer.

I also love sharing new finds from local stores and online.

But while I don't mind sharing new clothing, accessories, etc., it isn't always in the budget to shop til I drop.

So I decided to challenge myself this year and bring that Pinterest style post back!

I would love for you to join me every Wednesday for PinSpiration!

Find an image of an outfit you love on Pinterest and then recreate it with items in your own closet.

Does it have to be perfect?

NO!

The idea is to just have fun...and wear the clothes you own!

PinSpiration kicks off Wednesday, January 8th!

******

Monthly Link Ups

I want to keep that series going, but with a twist.

In 2020, I would love to share updates, home decor, projects, etc.

It can be a room in your house that you love, a DIY project, seasonal decor, etc.
