Chic for Cheap: A Look Inspired by Home Accessories

Today's Chic for Cheap challenge is a little bit different, in that Melissa and I chose a broad subject to be our inspiration: Accessories (either home or fashion).  I ended up finding this fabulous pillow last week and thought it would translate perfectly into a laid back spring/summery outfit.  I imagine wearing this outfit out with friends, eating lunch on a sunlit patio, and then riding bikes around the park afterward.  Fun, right!

Don't forget to check out the look that Melissa put together right here.  As always, you are all invited to play along.  Leave a link to your look in the comments section below.  If you don't have a photo editing program on your computer you can use Polyvore (be careful, because it can be addicting).

The Inspiration: Colt Circles in Seafoam - Cushion Cover - Skinny Laminx

• Gray Cressida Tux Vest - Ruche


• Boy-fit Jeans in Faded Railroad Wash - American Eagle


• Organic Green Earrings - Shiho Yamashita


• Minus Hipster Bag in Khaki Green - Minus


• Sleek Leather Flip Flops - Gap

I'm dying over that top! I've never ordered from Ruche before. I'd love to hear how the experience went for anyone who has?

That top is so sweet ... and the entire outfit reflects its inspirational object just perfectly!

What a great outfit Ez! I love the laid-back and care free look of those jeans combined with the top and sandals-not to mention that those pillows are gorgeous. Hope you're having a lovely day!

PS: I adore Polyvore, but had forgotten about it. Watch my productivity plummet as I get back into it...

I just ordered from them last week for the first time - the grey sleeveless tank with pockets. It was fast delivery and a great product, and a bargain!

I love the simplicity of this whole ensemble! and feels so summer. That top is divine.

This is like a page out of a magazine.:) Now you are making my life even harder ;) I am already taking 2 hours for one post :((. I have never heard of Plyvore and I am not sure if I should try it - but later on in my game I will do it. I love beautiful collages and playing around with it. Your picks are fantastic - the earrings, the shirt and the pillow - I am speechless. It was all worth your time. Thank you! xo from Graz, Austria! -Anita

[Shanon]

Thank you for that code Ez! =) I think I'll have to give it a try.

Oooh I have sandals like that I go last year from American Eagle. I guess they are kind of the same. I got them on sale too. :)
