Chic for Cheap: Inspired by Art on Etsy

After finding this wonderful print on etsy the other day I just knew that it was begging to be translated into an outfit for Chic for Cheap.  I didn't want to go too literal (matching my outfit to the girl in the painting) so I tried to think outside the box just a bit.  I imagine this look being perfect for an early evening date...followed by some star gazing of course (here's hoping the stars will be a tad more friendly).

Color Crush: Pink Lemonade

Earlier this morning I spotted this gorgeous photo on the lovely Maple & Shade blog and was immediately inspired to create a post off of it!  Can't you just imagine sitting at that table eating your breakfast every morning!  What a great way to wake up that would be!

Instead of the usual mishmash of products I decided to just focus on pretty little ceramic bowls and such (since that is one of the most stunning parts of the inspiration image).  Don't forget to check out the bonus links at the bottom for more vintage goodness.  Also stay tuned for a sweet little printable freebie that I'm working on for you all.  xox Ez
