Another month, another how we wore it post! One of my favorite monthly collaborations – which now comes in two varieties… this one and the Styled by 5. Let me give you a little refresher on how this specific series works. All of us were given the same “inspiration outfit” and we were asked to create our own take on it once we let our creative juices flow. Any outfit can be inspired by the colors, the patterns, the pieces, or the textures is fine. So our how we wore it is coming from the inspiration side – with things we already have! Because not many people have the luxury to just go buy a new outfit based on what they see on Pinterest, so you have to work with what you have. First up is the look we used for our inspiration.

So last month I missed the How We Wore It post because I just struggle sometimes and didn't sign up. Which meant this month I was jumping at the gun to get going. I loved, loved, loved this look Brooke picked out because I am a huge fan of dark tones and neutrals. I actually had a handful of options to wear but decided to do with something that I felt was more unique to me. So here is my StyleLovely look.

Cardi Blazer: NoVae

Top: Lucy and Lyla

Black Jeans: Old Navy

Necklace: Eleventh Avenue

Booties: Francescas

I decided to stick with the black theme of her outfit - I did however forget my sunnies, which I was so bummed about. I started with my black skinny jeans just like hers and decided to replace the white and black plaid with a cream top and black overlay. It is getting cold where I live, so layers win. And also boots win. I covered up my feet with some black booties. Basically for me, I wanted to stick with as much black as possible with a little accent color - or neutral tone as it would look like - underneath. And than I jazzed it all up with a statement necklace. And sadly, no sunnies. How would you interprut StyleLovely's dark tones?
