So, I’m not trying to copy the girls over at Academichic, it just so happens that we own the same green Target dress (which we altered in different ways). And I wore it with a belted cardigan. But I swear I’m not a copy-cat.
This is another one of those lovely little waist-cinching belts I bought at a local vintage shop the other day. I like how the black accents work with all the color in this outfit.
The cardigan, while it looks lovely, is made of not-so-comfy acrylic. Eventually, I plan to knit a copy of this cardigan (and maybe even learn a few embroidery skills), but it works for now.
I’ve noticed that I’ve gotten into a bit of a jewelry rut lately. I have several sterling silver pieces that I absolutely love and wear almost everyday, but I feel like I’ve been neglecting all my other jewelry. Hopefully I can start to shake things up a bit.

A great mix of colors. And hey, there’s no copying … only “drawing inspiration from.”
Love it, of course! This is such a fun pattern, and I’m impressed with your alteration! And of course, I am a big fan of purple and green. C’mon spring!
There is nothing bad about being a “copy-cat”. As Sal said, it’s called “drawing inspiration from”, and it is a compilment for the one you copied. You wouldn’t copy something that was horrible, right?
And I really like your outfit. I love how you set som accent with black.
I think a lot of us copy the three of them to some degree. Or draw inspiration at least. You have a very nice summer outfit here.
Note on the green sweater. So glad you ripped it out. Seamless knitting is the only way to go! It’s a good color for you, too.
When I saw this post, I had to laugh. I have this dress too!
