Chic for Cheap: A Room Inspired Look

Good morning lovelies!  Melissa and I had the chance to sit side by side while creating our Chic for Cheap posts for today...a blast and a total dream come true for me!

My translation from outfit to room is a bit arbitrary this time around, but I like imagine this outfit being worn on a summer day spent browsing through books at the library, followed by a trip to the local sweets shop for a cup of coconut and macadamia nut gelato.  Yummers!  xox Ez

I love it! An outfit inspired by a room full of books -- who says fashion can't be educational and enlightening??

Such a fun look. I never can seem to pull off this funky-prep myself, but I admire it from afar.

Oouuu, I'm right there with you. All American casual with a grandpa - exucse me girlfriend - cardigan and comfy linen shorts in my most favorite of places, the library.

I do declare I like it.

Hooray! for doing c&c side by side!It sounds like so much fun :)

I like the whole story that the room + outfit make up together. It takes it beyond just putting together a look.Great post! x

That outfit is really cute. For where I live (it's been over 100 degrees every day for the past two weeks, I believe), I would just change the sneakers for sandals (or flip-flops) and forgo the cardigan. Perfection! :)
